U.S. Appeals Judge Edith Jones of New Orleans; cheerleader for wife-beaters

The state of Texas provided Edith Hollan Joneswith a law license in 1974 after she graduated from the University of Texas School of Law.

FYI:Edith wasn’t nominated to sit on the 5^th Circuit Court of Appeals by former President Ronald Reagan in 1985 because she was the most qualified attorney available to be so appointed. Edith was appointed because she had expected to be a reliable lackey for right wing losers like former Senator Strom Thurmond.  

In one matter, Edith was assigned to hear an appeal by a convicted wife-beater who was denied the right to arm himself after he was denied the right to carry a weapon after his abuse victim had obtained a court-ordered protective order.

In her ruling, Edith issued a ruling in favor of the wife beater’s right to bear arms. Edith’s decision went on to say, that modern gun control laws must be “consistent with the Second Amendment’s text and historical understanding.”

In her never-ending attempt to establish her credentials as an Aspiring Standup Comedian, Edith went on to state that wife beater Rahimi’s rights were violated when law enforcement disarmed him due to the protective order.

And lastly ,and in fairness to Edith, allowing convicted wife-beaters to carry guns would dramatically decrease medical costs when a wife beater can just shoot his spouse verses beating the crap out of her with his fists. Afterall, the cost to the insurer for the wife beater to go to the ER for medical care when compared to the cost of a bullet is quite dramatic.

As we speak (ca. March 2023), Edith continues to dispense her so-called idea of jurisprudence as a 5^th Circuit Court of Appeals Judge in New Orleans, Louisiana.
