About Deborah L. Boardman

Titles and dates come from the District of Maryland court bio, the Federal Judicial Center, and the Senate roll-call. Emphasis is the compiler’s. Identity confidence: high. The Senate Judiciary nomination-hearing still is used on this identity page and as the homepage lead. No District of Maryland robes portrait was located.

Deborah Lynn Boardman is a United States District Judge for the District of Maryland. The name is distinctive. The court’s official biography, the Federal Judicial Center directory, and Senate nomination PN388 (117th Congress) identify the same person. This page is identity only. The episodes live in the posts. This is not the biography the court would write for a ceremonial program.

What this site is not

It is not a finding that Judge Boardman committed a crime. Articles of impeachment are a House filing, not a conviction. H.Res. 818 is INTRODUCED and referred to Judiciary. This file will not write “IMPEACHED.” A district-court preliminary injunction is not a Supreme Court holding. A 97-month sentence is a sentence, not a House vote.

It is not a tribute. It is not a White House product. It is not lawsuit-proof. Read the posts.
