Former White House official Neomi Rao was formally sworn in Friday as the newest judge on the federal appeals court in Washington in a ceremony attended by prominent members of the legal community and high-profile figures from the Trump administration, where she once worked.

Former White House counsel Donald McGahn, who recommended Rao for the job and was instrumental in President Trump’s successful judicial nominations, emphasized her diverse experience in government.

“She’s been on the field of play and made tough decisions at the highest levels,” McGahn said, before alluding to Rao’s difficult Senate nomination process. “She stood the test under pressure and adversity.”

Also in attendance were two Supreme Court justices: Brett M. Kavanaugh, whom Rao replaces on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, and Clarence Thomas, for whom Rao was a law clerk.

1. She's a horrible person, and a Republican

Oh wait. Those things are the same.

She needs to be impeached. Rao will hurt working people and help corporations and billionaires.
