Chief Judge Boasberg's probable cause ruling is not an appealable order. DOJ can ask the D.C. Circuit for an extraordinary writ of mandamus, but that requires showing that the district court ruling both (1) was clearly wrong; and (2) is not otherwise capable of being remedied on a future appeal.

An early step in the Second Red Scare was Truman's executive order which claimed that federal employees could be fired for "disloyalty" if they belonged to groups the attorney general said were dedicated to the overthrow of the gov't ...
