WASHINGTON – Appellate Judge James Ho of Dallas, a former law clerk to Clarence Thomas, defended the justice’s honor Tuesday, rejecting ethics allegations involving lavish trips provided by real estate magnate Harlan Crow.
“Justice Thomas is one of the most principled and fearless individuals to have ever served in the judiciary. He is a role model — and one of the most inspiring and fascinating Americans alive,” Ho told the Dallas Chapter of the Federalist Society, a conservative legal group.
The 5th Circuit Appeals Court judge also shot down allegations that Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk in Amarillo, who ordered a ban last week on a common abortion drug, misled the Senate by removing his name from a vehemently anti-abortion law review article.
