The public record on who James Emanuel “Jeb” Boasberg is starts at the Senate, not at cable. Congress.gov lists nomination PN12, 112th Congress, to be United States District Judge for the District of Columbia. The Senate roll-call for March 14, 2011, is vote 39: 96 yeas, 0 nays.
The Federal Judicial Center directory records the commission date as March 17, 2011. The District of Columbia court’s own bio says he was “originally appointed to the District Court in March 2011.” Those three sources lock the office. They do not lock later rulings.
The same court bio states he is a native Washingtonian; St. Albans School, 1981; B.A., Yale College, 1985; M.St., Oxford, 1986; J.D., Yale Law School, 1990; clerk to Judge Dorothy W. Nelson, Ninth Circuit; associate at Keker & Van Nest (1991–1994) and Kellogg Huber (1995–1996); Assistant United States Attorney in the District of Columbia for five and a half years, homicide prosecutions; Associate Judge, D.C. Superior Court, from September 2002 until the federal appointment.
A 96–0 confirmation is a documented fact. It is not a finding that every later order was lawful. It is not a finding of impeachable conduct. Those questions live in later posts, on later dockets.
