Did Judge Reyes Impose An Unconstitutional Religious Test?

Judge Ana Reyes (DDC) may be having some issues right now. On Valentine's Day, in a case concerning fired inspectors general, she threatened to sanction former Solicitor General Seth Waxman.

"Mr. Waxman, I am really debating right now whether to order a show cause on sanctions," Judge Reyes said right before the call ended. "I'm not going to do it, because I've got other things to deal with, but this was totally unacceptable." . . .

"You are an experienced, experienced individual," she said of Mr. Waxman, adding that "there is no universe in which I would ever be qualified enough to be hired by the solicitor general's office, much less be the solicitor general." . .  .

"Why on Earth did you not have this figured out with the defendants, before coming here and burdening me and burdening my staff on this issue? Are we really here right now on the sixth hearing of this day for me to decide whether to grant a TRO, given the circumstances that you guys could not even bother filing a TRO for 21 days?"

Four days later, Judge Reyes held another hearing about President Trump's executive order in gender dysphoria in the military.
