Lawyer Erin Nealy Cox is angling for a federal judgeship for the North District of Texas in President Trump’s second administration, using her bonafides from the first Trump administration to bolster her case.
However, in the four years between Trump’s first and second administration, Cox strayed far from the MAGA mandate and proved herself to be unworthy of this position.
Cox is a Texas Republican who was the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Texas during President Trump’s first four years in office. But when weak Republicans threw President Trump and his supporters under the bus due to expedience, Cox was right there alongside them.
After the federally-incited violence occurred during the election fraud protests in and around the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, Cox made it known that she stood against Trump-supporting patriots. She stated in an X post that Jan. 6 protesters are “anarchists, not patriots” who committed a “reprehensible betrayal of the rule of law” and “should prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”
After resigning as U.S. Attorney, Cox joined the Kirkland Ellis law firm, serving as a partner at their Dallas and Washington, D.C. offices. Kirkland Ellis recently received a letter from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) concerning their hiring practices. Kirkland Ellis was among the firms singled out by the Trump administration for potentially violating federal anti-discrimination law over their support of DEI hiring practices.
“The EEOC is prepared to root out discrimination anywhere it may rear its head, including in our nation’s elite law firms. No one is above the law—and certainly not the private bar,” said EEOC Acting Chair Andrea Lucas about the firm’s alleged violation of Title VII.
Cox’s firm eventually agreed to a $125 million deal to provide pro bono legal work for patriotic causes in the national interest as a form of reparations for any DEI nonsense they may have supported in the past.
What may be most alarming about Cox’s record is the political activity of her husband. Her husband, trial attorney John “Trey” Cox, has donated more than $75,000 to Democrat activist judges throughout the years.
Cox gave Judge Tonya Parker four separate donations that totaled $7,000 between the years of 2018 and 2021. Judge Parker was the recipient of the 2017 Stonewall Award from the American Bar Association’s Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Commission. She also received the 2021 Luminary award for her work in the “advancement of diversity.”
Judge Parker created a task force in 2020 with Judge Eric Moye to study “implicit bias,” or the cultural Marxist notion that individuals are subconsciously and unknowingly prejudiced against particular racial groups, in the court system. This task force recommended that judges issue special jury instructions to warn of implicit bias prior to their deliberations.
Judge Emily Tobolowsky received two donations between 2018 and 2021 totaling $5,000 from Cox. Judge Tobolowsky is a far-left Democrat judge who rejected Texas AG Ken Paxton’s request for a temporary stay on the Texas State Fair for banning the carrying firearms at the state fairgrounds. Tobolowsky is listed by the Dallas Voice as a “longtime member of Stonewall Democrats,” a so-called LGBT rights organization that works to push transgender insanity nationwide.
Cox gave a $2500 donation to Judge Francisco Dominguez in 2021. Dominguez once boasted on his campaign website that he won the Border Hero Award from the Las Americas Immigrant Advocacy Center (LAIAC). LAIAC is an organization that advocates “for systemic change to U.S. immigration policy and practices” by giving free legal advocacy for illegals making it more difficult for those lawbreakers to be deported. Cox gave his biggest Democrat donations to Judge Eric Moye, a total of $13,500 spread over five donations. As was previously mentioned, Moye served on Judge Parker’s infamous task force on implicit racial bias. Moye’s public social media posts expose him as a far-left radical. He shared a post bemoaning voter ID laws as existing to “disenfranchise American citizens” as well as a post in which he compared President Trump to Adolf Hitler, stating that unnamed Germans called Trump “the world’s most dangerous man.”
