The Senate Confirmed Him 53–42. That Vote Is Not a Lifetime Shield.

The public record on who Theodore David Chuang is starts at the Senate, not at cable. The roll-call for May 1, 2014, is vote 127, 113th Congress, 2nd Session: confirmation of Theodore David Chuang, of Maryland, to be United States District Judge for the District of Maryland. The result is Nomination Confirmed, 53–42. The nomination number on that page is PN1221.

The Federal Judicial Center directory records the first nomination on September 25, 2013, with no Senate vote; a renomination by President Barack Obama on January 6, 2014, to the seat vacated by Roger W. Titus; confirmation on May 1, 2014; and a commission issued May 2, 2014. The Congressional Record daily digest for that day also records cloture, 54–43, earlier on May 1.

The District of Maryland’s official chambers page says he sits at the United States Courthouse in Greenbelt. Those sources lock the office. They do not lock later rulings.

A 53–42 confirmation is a documented fact. It is not a finding that every later order was lawful. It is not a finding of impeachable conduct. Those questions live in later posts, on later dockets.
