Mike Davis
Federalist Society Bio page

Snip

As Chief Counsel for Nominations, Davis advised Chairman Grassley and other senators on the confirmation of federal judges and senior Executive Branch appointees, serving as staff lead for 30 hearings and 41 markup meetings. He oversaw the floor votes for 278 nominees, including the confirmations of Justice Brett Kavanaugh and the record number of circuit judges confirmed during President Trump’s first two years in office.

Davis has served in all three branches of the federal government, including for President George W. Bush, the Justice Department, House Speaker Newt Gingrich, and current Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch. Davis also led the outside support team for Justice Gorsuch’s successful confirmation to the Supreme Court.

Well my, my, my. Who’s the Welfare Queen feeding at the public trough? 😬🙄

Yeah! I wonder how many American taxpayers did without to pay his exorbitant salary, hmm? Not to mention things like retirement, PTO, health insurance?

Oh and he received his BA and JD from the University of Iowa! Not only funded by State money but

The University of Iowa received $315 million in federal funding in Fiscal Year 2024, which represented 39% of the institution's external funding. This funding supports research projects, with the National Science Foundation (NSF) alone providing a record high of $18 million for UI research in FY2024.

Total Federal Funding: $315 million (FY 2024).

Percentage of External Funding: 39%.

Key Source (NSF): $18 million for research projects in FY 2024.


Ya know people who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.
