On Wednesday, in the Middle District of Tennessee, Judge Aleta A. Trauger ruled that ex-Congressman Jeremy Durham of the Tennessee House of Representatives possessed a “statutorily created entitlement to life-time health insurance for retired civil servants,” but that said entitlement was validly removed, following Durham’s expulsion from Tennesee House, as Durham argued for procedural due process requirements for the wrong purported property interest. 
The associated opinion explained that Durham was voted out of the state legislature following the release of an Attorney General’s report concluding that “Durham had engaged in sexually inappropriate conduct with at least 22 women between 2012 and 2016.” Durham, who had already served a full congressional term from 2012-14, was expelled four months prior to the completion of his second term following a House vote.
