Matteo was a visiting Lecturer at Yale Law School last fall, where he taught a course on Torts and Regulation. During law school, he worked at NAACP LDF, Equal Justice Under Law, and the D.C. Public Defender Service. The law clerks told Politico that their former colleague had edited Jackson's Wikipedia page 'as a matter of course' for several years. The most recent changes to Jackson's page were on January 30 and February 1, and involved two rulings against the Trump administration that were later overturned. The portion of the Wiki page detailing Jackson's most famous decision - to require former White House counsel Don McGahn to obey a congressional subpoena involving then-President Donald Trump - was altered. The New York Times noted Jackson's 'slow pace' helped Trump 'run out the clock on the congressional oversight effort' before the 2020 election. Jackson's updated Wikipedia page shifts the blame for the ruling’s timing from Jackson to the D.C. Circuit court. In the another, user H2rty cut a reference to Jackson's position on an advisory board of 'a Baptist school.' Both were portions were replaced replaced with: 'Ahead of her confirmation hearing, 'Bloomberg Law' reported that conservative activists were pointing to certain decisions by Jackson that had been reversed on appeal as a 'potential blemish on her record,' in order 'to tarnish her so she won't get picked for the Supreme Court.' |
