Jonathan Allen Kobes (born August 25, 1974)[1] is a United States Circuit Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit.

Education and career

Kobes received his Bachelor of Arts from Dordt College and his Juris Doctor from Harvard Law School, where he was an editor and the business manager of the Harvard Journal of Law and Public Policy. After graduating from law school, he served as a judicial law clerk to Judge Roger Leland Wollman of the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. He previously was a litigation attorney at the Central Intelligence Agency and an Assistant United States Attorney for the District of South Dakota. Later, Kobes was an associate at the Sioux Falls, South Dakota, office of Murphy, Goldammer & Prendergast. Kobes was then senior counsel to POET and senior regulatory counsel to DuPont Pioneer. Before returning to the government, he was Director of Corporate Compliance at Raven Industries.

From 2014 to 2018, Kobes worked as an aide to U.S. Senator Mike Rounds.[2]

Federal judicial service

On June 7, 2018, President Trump announced his intent to nominate Kobes to serve as a United States Circuit Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit.[3] On June 11, 2018, his nomination was sent to the Senate. President Trump nominated Kobes to the seat on the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit to be vacated by Judge Roger Leland Wollman, who had previously announced his intent to take senior status on a yet undetermined date.[4] On August 22, 2018, a hearing on his nomination was held before the Senate Judiciary Committee.[5]

On September 14, 2018, the American Bar Association rated Kobes "Not Qualified."[6] The ABA's report said that Kobes was "a very accomplished, competent, and capable person, but his career path has not resulted in sufficient evidence of a developed ability to do the written work of a United States circuit court judge."[7][8] The ABA report questioned Kobes' understanding of "complex legal analysis" and "knowledge of the law."[2] At the time of his nomination, Kobes had tried six cases during his legal career, cases that the ABA considered straightforward and not "legally complex."[2]

On October 11, 2018, Kobes's nomination was reported out of committee by a party-line 11–10 vote.[9] On November 29, 2018, the Senate voted to invoke cloture on Kobes' nomination by a 50–49 vote, with Vice President Mike Pence breaking the tie.[10] On December 11, 2018, he was confirmed in the United States Senate by a vote of 51–50, with Pence casting his vote in the affirmative.[11][12] He was the first federal judicial nominee ever confirmed by a tie-breaking vote.[13][14] Kobes received his judicial commission on December 12, 2018.

Memberships

He was a member of the Federalist Society from 1999–2004.[15]
