JUST IN: DOJ is asking the DC circuit to remove Judge Boasberg from the case over Trump’s invocation of the Alien Enemies Act. Hard to see the circuit doing this, but the ask itself is extraordinary. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us... - ThreadSky

“I don't care what the judges think.” We are dealing with autocrats. That’s it. Let’s act like the rule of law depends on how we respond to far right lawless statements like this, because it does.

Remember when we were told Jack Smith can't ask Cannon to be removed from Trump's stolen secret documents case without more improper rulings? I'd bet we don't here a single similar comment from a single news orgs with Boasberg. However Boasberg had a responsibility to hold DOJ officials in content
