Rao was Trump’s second appointee to the DC Circuit and is the newest judge on that bench. Liberal advocacy groups opposed to her nomination earlier this year expressed concerns that Rao’s writings as an academic showed she would be too deferential to executive power, and said her dissent on Friday demonstrated those fears were founded. Nan Aron, president of Alliance for Justice, wrote a series of tweets denouncing Rao’s position.
“This is stunning: in her dissent, Trump court pick Neomi Rao argues that allegations of illegal conduct against the President cannot be investigated by Congress except through impeachment,” Aron tweeted. She continued in another tweet: “Neomi Rao is doing exactly what the Trump administration put her on the bench to do.”
