Biography

Broomes earned his Bachelor of Science, with high honors, from the University of Texas at Austin. He received his Juris Doctor from Washburn University School of Law, where he graduated first in his class with a certificate in natural resources law.

Before entering law school, Broomes was a Lieutenant in the United States Navy Submarine Force, where his awards included the Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal and three Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medals. Earlier in his career, he served as a law clerk to both Judge Monti L. Belot and Magistrate Judge Donald W. Bostwick on the United States District Court for the District of Kansas. Before becoming a judge, he was a member of the Hinkle Law Firm LLC in Wichita, Kansas, where he practiced in the firm's Business Litigation Group with a focus on natural resources law.[2]

Federal judicial service

On September 7, 2017, President Trump nominated Broomes to serve as a United States District Judge of the United States District Court for the District of Kansas, to the seat vacated by Judge J. Thomas Marten, who assumed senior status on May 1, 2017.[3] A hearing on his nomination before the Senate Judiciary Committee took place on November 15, 2017.[4] On December 7, 2017, his nomination was reported out of committee by voice vote.[5] On April 12, 2018, the Senate voted to invoke cloture by a vote of 74–24.[6] His nomination was then confirmed on the same day by a voice vote.[7] He received his commission on April 16, 2018.

gollark: <@&198138780132179968> <@270035320894914560>/aus210 has stolen my (enchanted with Unbreaking something/Mending) elytra.I was in T79/i02p/n64c/pjals' base (aus210 wanted help with some code, and they live in the same place with some weird connecting tunnels) and came across an armor stand (it was in an area of the base I was trusted in - pjals sometimes wants to demo stuff to me or get me to help debug, and the claim organization is really odd). I accidentally gave it my neural connector, and while trying to figure out how to get it back swapped my armor onto it (turns out shiftrightclick does that). Eventually I got them both back, but while my elytra was on the stand aus210 stole it. I asked for it back and they repeatedly denied it.They have claimed:- they can keep it because I intentionally left it there (this is wrong, and I said so)- there was no evidence that it was mine so they can keep it (...)EDIT: valithor got involved and got them to actually give it back, which they did after ~10 minutes of generally delaying, apparently leaving it in storage, and dropping it wrong.
gollark: Someone had a problem with two mutually recursive functions (one was defined after the other), so I fixed that for them. Then I explained stack overflows and how that made their design (`mainScreen` calls `itemScreen` calls `mainScreen`...) problematic. Their suggested solution was to just capture the error and restart the program. Since they weren't entirely sure how to do *that*, their idea was to make it constantly ping their webserver and have another computer reboot it if it stopped.
