"Mizelle alleges that Reyes "engaged in hostile and egregious misconduct" that "compromised the dignity of the proceedings and demonstrated potential bias." Mizelle alleges that Reyes broke the Code of Conduct for U.S. Judges when she questioned DOJ attorney Jason Lynch about whether Jesus would approve of discrimination against trans people and then "[used Lynch] as a physical prop in her courtroom theatrics" while trying to demonstrate the concept of "animus" (unfair hostility towards a group)."
"President Donald Trump's Department of Justice has accused lesbian federal Judge Ana Reyes of misconduct for alleged bias during her questioning of a DOJ lawyer on Trump's anti-transgender military ban last week. DOJ Chief of Staff Chad Mizelle sent a letter complaining about Reyes to Chief Judge Sri Srinivasan of the U.S. Court of Appeals for D.C. Circuit. Srinivasan, an appointee of former President Barack Obama, will decide whether to dismiss the complaint or appoint a committee of judges to investigate, Bloomberg News reported."
DOJ Chief of Staff Chad Mizelle accused Judge Ana C. Reyes of egregious misconduct and bias for her courtroom questioning about the Trump administration's ban on transgender military service. Mizelle alleged that Reyes broke the Code of Conduct by questioning DOJ attorney Jason Lynch about whether Jesus would approve of discrimination and by using Lynch "as a physical prop" while illustrating "animus." Reyes highlighted that the executive order labeled transgender service members with terms like selfish, dishonorable, deceitful, undisciplined, and a threat to military readiness, and noted the administration's binary view of sex that ignores intersex variations. Chief Judge Sri Srinivasan will decide whether to dismiss the complaint or appoint an investigative committee.
