Neil Gorsuch's ascendance to the Supreme Court left Allison H. Eid to fill his prior seat on the 10th Circuit. Recently, she publicly critiqued her colleagues regarding their ruling on Donald Trump's eligibility for a third presidential term under the 22nd Amendment. While her colleagues deemed the issue moot due to Trump already serving a second term, Eid characterized this constitutional inquiry as 'novel and complex.' Observers suggest her remarks indicate a potential political alignment with Trump and aspirations for a position on the Supreme Court.
Judge Eid went out of her way to slam her colleagues for 'opin[ing]' on the 22nd Amendment, then called the question of a third Trump term in office a 'novel and complex constitutional question.'
This is actually not a difficult or complicated legal question at all - the 22nd Amendment is pretty dang clear.
