EXPOSED: Chief Justice Roberts Revealed As Member of Secretive Club With Judge Boasberg, Other Trump-Hating Judges

This is insane…

Independent investigative journalist Bad Kitty on X just made a shocking discovery.

It turns out that Chief Justice John Roberts is part of a secretive, invite-only club for judges and lawyers called the American Inns of Court.

Interestingly, several left-wing, Trump-hating activist judges are also members of this exclusive club.

This list includes Judge James Boasberg, who is facing impeachment over his ruling to block President Trump from deporting hundreds of violent illegal alien gang members this past weekend.

Justice Roberts recently broke convention to defend Judge Boasberg against impeachment — a huge ‘no-no’ for SCOTUS to get involved with.

Read this bombshell report from Bad Kitty on X for yourself:

Full text of that report:

Breaking exposé! FIVE anti Trump judges are involved in a secretive, INVITE ONLY club for judges and lawyers called the American Inns of Court. Even the membership and meetings are secret. But somehow the DOJ has shown up at meetings. At least since Biden had been in office.

Is hobnobbing with the DOJ in court matters acceptable? Let alone meeting in secret?

So who all is linked to this selective and secretive club? And recall all of their negative Trump rulings?

– Judge James Boasberg (President)

– Scotus Ketanji Brown Jackson (Vice President)

– Judge Amit Mehta (Secretary and a meeting held at her court.)

– Judge Beryl Howell Justice (Professionalism Award)

-Justice John Roberts (Honorary Bencher of the Middle Temple)

Wasn’t it something else that Judge John Roberts broke ethical conduct and stuck up for his, “brother Boasberg”?

George Soros has funded a fellowship at Middle Temple where John Roberts is a master of the bench.

First let me very quickly explain how this secret society called, the American Inns of Court came about. In the UK, they have the four Inns of Court that dates back hundreds of years. One of those is called Middle Temple (see Roberts photo). Well, the US created the American version of this in recent decades. There’s a massive list of branches.

The branch many of our judges belong to is The Edward Bennett Williams (EBW) Inn of Court. It’s so secretive, they deleted most signs of this branch from their website although they still met.

Now here’s Judge Beryl Howell. She was nominated by President Judge Boasberg, and VP Ketanji Brown Jackson approved of her nomination. Boasberg claims it was her work on Jan 6 that contributed to his choosing her for the American Inns Of Court Professionalism award.

Let me show you the scant meeting info that I found which included the DOJ and Inspector General Horowitz in attendance.

1. The Edward Bennett Williams Inn of Court: BOP Custody / Current Status of BOP / Early Release & Reentry: Washington DC, 2/15/24 “Joel Sickler – invited panelist at EBW Inn of Court (February15, 2024, Washington DC). The meeting held in the District of Columbia Court of Judge Amit Mehta. In addition to panelists, approximately 150 lawyers including several Federal District Judges were also present. The panel was presented primarily with Michael Horowitz, DOJ Inspector General and Seth Eichenholtz, Deputy Assistant Attorney General – also featuring Vanessa Rojas, a returning citizen with direct and learned perspective regarding constructive reforms within the Bureau of Prisons.”

Also there was:

“Seth Rosenthal, Chief Deputy Attorney General for Office of AG District of Columbia.”

2. Mathew Bester, 3 years ago in a quote Linkdn post:

“I really enjoyed talking about the latest DOJ developments last week on a great panel.”

Matthew was reposting Brent Gurney’s Post and yes the DOJ was there:

“I want to thank my co-hosts, Erin K. of Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Lisa Phelan of Morrison & Foerster LLP, Inn member G. Zachary Terwilliger of Vinson & Elkins and our guest panelists Jim Fredricks of the DOJ Antitrust Division, Tiffany Rider of Axinn, Veltrop & Harkrider LLP and Matthew Bester of Accenture, for a robust and fascinating discussion of the issues.”

3. Yearly gala, I’ll review this later. But the Assistant United States Attorney at U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Virginia replied in a comment. Was he there?

“Great job, Rebecca!”

I’ve seen lawsuits online for this secret org over recusal worries with this private club. I also saw a lawsuit that stated their secrecy is dangerous to democracy.

Sources to follow.

Here’s a list of members, from the America Inn of Courts website:

Now, I have to ask: what exactly are all these far-left, activist judges doing in their little secret club?

Plotting together, perhaps?

According to a flyer, the purpose of the American Inns of Court club is to “network with and gain access to colleagues.”

Bad Kitty pointed out in a separate post:

NETWORK WITH AND GAIN ACCESS TO COLLEAGUES

• Meet and interact with federal and state judges on a local, regional, and national level.

• Stay current with the local bar and connected to attorneys in different practice areas, law professors and young lawyers deans, in-house lawyers, and others who do not have a litigation practice.

• The American Inns of Court member directory is a means to reach out to and communicate with other judges on issues of common interest.

• Attend the Celebration of Excellence at the Supreme Court of the United States with justices of the high court as well as jurists and attorneys from across the country.

At the very least, this club blurs the ethical line between “networking” and “coordinating.”

Keep in mind that, according to the Code of Conduct for judges, they must avoid any and all appearances of impropriety, or else recuse themselves from a case.

This club for Trump-hating judges has already found itself the subject of lawsuits over this very issue.

Bad Kitty pointed out one example of such a lawsuit:

Here’s a lawsuit asking for recusal of an American Inns of Court member. Because of its secrecy and it’s acting more like a private social club.

Ful text of that post:

Here’s a lawsuit asking for recusal of an American Inns of Court member. Because of its secrecy and it’s acting more like a private social club.

“THE AMERICAN INNS OF COURT ARE UNLIKE TRADITIONAL BAR ASSOCIATIONS BUT ARE SOCIAL CLUBS THAT PROVIDE FOR SECRET EX PARTE COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN FINANCIALLY STRONG ATTORNEYS AND JUDGES

A Social Club, Common Membership Of Judges And Attorneys Representing Parties Creates The Appearance Of Bias.

The American Inns of Court have changed their character as bar associations as they made the membership directory confidential from disclosure for all Inns of Court after sometime in 2008. Their practice of Temple Bar Scholarship and pupilage groups also violated Rule 5-30014 of California Rules of Professional Conduct by allowing ex parte contacts and gifts. The Petition for Writ of Certiorari has been reviewed based on the opinion of the clerks of the Justices, except Justice Gorsuch.

Therefore, contacting the clerks and making gifts to the clerks violate Rule 5-300(c) as they have the power of making recommendations to the Justices.

One major members’ benefits, as shown in the video of “American Inns of Court Membership Benefits” that has been posted on the Youtube, Attorney Manuel Sanchez. stated “This is the only organization that I know that the lawyers and judges belong to the trial bar have a chance to meet outside of the courtroom in a social setting and really able to establish the rapport.” (A.011)

The business and prosperity of the American Inns of Court is built on the attorneys’ benefit to meet the judges in person to establish the “rapport,” in violation of Rule 5-300 of California Rules of Professional Conduct.

The American Inns of Court lost all tributes as a bar association further because of the secret membership.

The last publication of a directory for all chapters of the Inns is an archive of the membership of San Francisco Bay Intellectual Property American Inn of Court, made in 2008. (A.055; Request for Recusal in Petition No. 17- 256, A.072-74.) The Handbook for the William A. Ingram American Inn of Court states:

“The schedule for the monthly meetings (not the dinner meetings) is to gather at 5:30 for socializing and hors d’oeuvres. After administrative announcements, the formal program by a Pupillage Group commences at 6:00 p.m. and ends at 7:00 p.m.

After the program ends, there is further socializing.” [Request for Recusal in Petition No. 17-256, A. 146, emphasis added]

Its current meeting schedule states clearly the social function of its Inn meetings:

“Inn meeting, except as noted below, are scheduled on the second Wednesday of each month, with socializing at 5:30 p.m., and the program beginning at 6:00 p.m.” (Request for Recusal in No. 17-256, A.050)

These confidential social functions are the characteristic of a social private club. While the American Inns of Court might once have been equivalent or similar to a bar association, they are now more like an exclusive private club. Membership or association in such a private social club with regular private contacts with the judges/justices creates an appearance of bias where attorneys who are members of the Inns appear before judges who are also members or associated with the Inns.”

I’ve seen other stuff around on their secrecy, if you want more. Trust me this group was hard to find stuff on.

And, here’s another stunning link to the American Inns of Court group…

Judge Beryl Howell — responsible for sending hundreds of January 6th protestors to prison — was recognized with an award in 2023 for her “outstanding work.”

And, guess who she was nominated by?

Judge James Boasberg!

Per the American Inns of Court website:

Beryl A. Howell has been selected to receive the 2023 American Inns of Court Professionalism Award for the DC Circuit. Chief Judge Sri Srinivasan of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit will present the award during the DC Circuit Judicial Conference. Appointed to the court in 2010, Howell finished a seven-year term as the court’s chief judge in March.

Chief Judge James E. Boasberg, who nominated Howell for the award, praised Howell’s leadership as chief judge in a term marked by several unexpected events. “Judge Howell’s leadership during the pandemic was extraordinary,” he writes. Howell also “deftly led the court during the surge of more than 1,000 criminal cases filed in this district arising out of the investigation into the attack on the U.S. Capitol building on January 6, 2021.”

From 2004 to 2013, Howell served as a presidentially appointed commissioner on the U.S. Sentencing Commission, which during her term took steps toward reducing federal sentencing disparities between crack and powder cocaine and making penalty reductions retroactive. “Judge Howell is a brilliant and wise attorney and jurist, as well as an outstanding leader, which has been evident to me since our earliest days working together on the Sentencing Commission,” writes Associate Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson of the Supreme Court of the United States, who wrote in support of Howell’s nomination.

What do you make of all this?

Is Justice Roberts truly more compromised than we thought?..

I’ll leave that for you to decide yourself.
