“But in this country, under a Republican administration, Ho’s complete disregard for precedent, hostility to logic, and seething hatred for women and pregnant people might just make him the next associate justice of the Supreme Court.

Since his appointment to the Fifth Circuit by Donald Trump in 2018, Ho has been campaigning to replace the oldest current Supreme Court justice and the one most likely to retire under the next Republican presidential administration: Clarence Thomas.

He clerked for Thomas. He’s taken all the right jobs to rise up the conservative ranks—including serving as the solicitor general of Texas. (He succeeded Senator Ted Cruz in that role and was replaced by Jonathan Mitchell, the creator of Texas’s fugitive uterus bill, which placed a bounty on people who provide help to those seeking abortions.) And he seems to be in with the real power players in the Republican judge-making apparatus: the donor class. Indeed, Ho was sworn in as a Fifth Circuit judge by Thomas in—wait for it—Harlan Crow’s personal library.”
