The file
United States District Judge, Southern District of New York. Obama nominee. Confirmed 98–0. Then a 2019 vacatur of the HHS conscience rule, and — sitting in Part I on February 8, 2025 — an ex parte temporary restraining order that locked political appointees and special government employees out of Treasury payment systems containing Americans’ PII. House members filed H.Res. 143 and H.Res. 145. The assigned judge after that night was Jeannette A. Vargas; her later injunction is not his TRO. This is not a biography. It is the episodes. Facts are cited. Opinion is marked. A TRO is not a conviction. Articles of impeachment are not a removal.
