Education	Vanderbilt University (BA) Harvard Law School (JD)

John Kenneth Bush (born August 24, 1964) is an American attorney and United States Circuit Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. Bush graduated from Harvard Law School and practiced in Washington, D.C. and Louisville, Kentucky, where he served as president of the local branch of the Federalist Society. In 2017, he was nominated to a seat on the Sixth Circuit court by President Donald Trump. Bush's nomination to the federal judiciary was controversial, as he had written pseudonymous blog posts disparaging gay rights, comparing abortion to slavery, and promoting various false right-wing conspiracy theories. Bush was confirmed by the Senate on a party-line vote of 51–47.

Education and career

Bush received his Bachelor of Arts degree, summa cum laude, in 1986 from Vanderbilt University and his Juris Doctor, cum laude, in 1989 from Harvard Law School. He served as a law clerk for Judge J. Smith Henley of the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. He practiced law at the firm of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher in Washington, D.C., before moving to his current firm, Bingham Greenebaum Doll LLP in Louisville, Kentucky. He is a partner at the firm and is co-chair of the firm's litigation department. He specializes in complex litigation, including antitrust, securities, financial institutions, insurance, intellectual property, and product liability disputes. He has extensive litigation experience in state and federal courts in many jurisdictions and in arbitration proceedings. He is chair of the Louisville chapter of the Federalist Society.

Federal judicial service

On May 8, 2017, President Donald Trump announced that he would nominate Bush to the seat on the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit vacated by Judge Danny Julian Boggs who took senior status on February 28, 2017. A hearing on his nomination before the Senate Judiciary Committee was held on June 14, 2017. During his hearing, Bush was questioned about blog posts he had published under a pseudonym on the political website "Elephants in the Bluegrass." Bush said "Blogging is a political activity. It is not appropriate to bring politics to the bench." On July 13, 2017 his nomination was reported out of committee by a vote of 11-9. On July 19, 2017 the Senate voted in favor of cloture by a vote of 51-48. On July 20, 2017 the United States Senate voted 51-47 to confirm him. He received his judicial commission on July 21, 2017.
