Possibly the single most corrupt action I have ever seen from a "court of law".

Disgusting.

At least everyone knows that there is really no such thing as "justice"

Are they overturning Fokker?

not....yet

Sullivan is dancing right up to that line though

quote:

He can't fire Barr or Wray 8 weeks before the election. The media/democrats would adore this.

bullshite

Wray should have been fired at any point in the last 3 years

The Dim's don't like Barr anyway

I'm tired of this election excuse bullshite. Are Dim's gonna start supporting Trump if he doesn't fire them? Are they gonna burn more buildings if he does?

of the en banc?

Here's a pretty quick summary
The appeals court basically ignored the amicus issue and the reassignment. They also steered clear of any Separation of Powers Rule 48 issues.

They reversed the earlier order of mandamus because they said that other relief was still an option. Their ruling stated that the defendant would only seek relief via mandamus when there is no other option. Alot of judges protecting judges here

They also insinuated that if the DOJ had sought the mandamus, instead of the defense, the issue of SoP was at play, and they may have been inclined to rule for dismissal. They also dropped a dime in there, that should Sullivan fail to follow Rule 48 this time around, if the prosecution were to file for mandamus, they would likely issue it immediately.

Whatever games being played, as others have said, doubt resolution before election

well, there is an order to Sullivan directly to act with "dispatch" - they expect him to move quick. We'll see, hopefully within a couple weeks
