Andrew Oldham, a Trump-appointed judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit, has faced five lopsided reversals by the Supreme Court, highlighting the weaknesses of his far-right legal positions. Despite these defeats, Oldham shows no signs of discouragement and appears motivated to push more radical views. His objectives seem to align more with gaining favor from Trump rather than achieving correct legal outcomes. The cycle of defeat and audacious claims suggests a troubling approach to jurisprudence, prioritizing loyalty over legal integrity.
Andrew Oldham, a Trump appointee to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit, has faced humiliation at the Supreme Court with five recent reversals by a lopsided majority.
Oldham's opinions are marked by a slash-and-burn conservatism, and despite being supported by his radical colleagues, they fall apart when exposed to the wider Supreme Court.
Each SCOTUS defeat seems to embolden Oldham to take bigger swings, suggesting his motivations are more about loyalty to Trump's agenda than legal correctness.
Oldham's continuous reversal by the Supreme Court indicates he prioritizes attention from Trump over adhering to sound legal principles.
