Eleanor Ross Federal

Federal Judge Eleanor Ross is a liar, a sexual deviant, and a disgrace to the federal bench. Those are not opinions — they are the documented findings of the Judicial Conference of the United States.

For two years, Ross conducted a raucous sexual affair inside her own chambers during business hours — loudly enough that her law clerks could hear every moment of it. While people appeared before her in desperate need of justice, she was having loud, boisterous sex in the next room. She treated a federal courthouse as her personal bedroom and apparently didn't care who knew it.

That alone should have ended her career. It didn't — because judges protect judges. But the misconduct doesn't stop there.

- She lied to the judges investigating her — deliberately, under inquiry, and under oath as an officer of the court.
- She is a conflict of interest. Her affair partner was a police commander operating in her own jurisdiction — a direct and documented conflict of interest on the federal bench.
- She is open to extortion. Her husband is a sitting Georgia state judge who had no idea the affair was happening. The Judicial Conference's own report explicitly flagged her vulnerability to blackmail. Anyone with knowledge of this affair held direct leverage over her.
- Her husband is also exposed. As a sitting judge himself, he too is vulnerable to blackmail through her conduct — conduct he knew nothing about. Two members of the judiciary compromised by one person's recklessness.
- She is partisan — Ross attended the primary victory party of disgraced Fulton County DA Fani Willis, herself subsequently disqualified from a major prosecution for her own romantic impropriety and fined over $74,000 in court-ordered penalties. Ross also dismissed a Republican lawsuit challenging 2020 mail-in ballot procedures. A pattern, not a coincidence.
- She was protected — her penalty was a private reprimand. Anonymous. Litigants in her courtroom were never told. Aliza Shatzman of the Legal Accountability Project called it correctly: this misconduct "strikes at the heart of judicial integrity and destroys public confidence in an impartial, ethical court system."

Eleanor Ross's conduct is appalling and she should be removed from the federal bench immediately.
