WASHINGTON – Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, said Tuesday he’s satisfied an Amarillo judge who tried to halt distribution of an FDA-approved abortion drug did not mislead the Senate by removing his name from an article bashing Obama administration efforts to protect those seeking abortions.
“What I was told yesterday is that it had been alleged that he had failed to disclose an article that he had actually published,” Cornyn said. “It turns out that’s not the case. And so Judge (Matthew) Kacsmaryk has done nothing wrong.”
The Washington Post reported that Kacsmaryk submitted the article to a Texas law review in early 2017 and later asked his name be replaced by two colleagues at his legal group, Plano-based First Liberty Institute. Kacsmaryk was under consideration for a federal judgeship when he made that request.
