This letter is a remarkable combination of stupid and ominous.

The Trump DOJ is big mad about their finest legal minds being humiliated in court

Another example of gaslighting. Because I say so.....doesn't cut it.

It buried the lede…
“An independent, impartial judiciary is fundamental to our system of justice.”

See; SCOTUS #LOL

Quick, someone ask Edith Jones if this crosses a line.

Srinivasan doesn't even have to respond, right? I wouldn't. This is so stupid. lol

peanut24.bsky.social•13 hours ago

That describes just about everything they do.

leslembc.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Can something be escalated to the Supreme Court, and really see where they really stand on shit? And if that's a silly question, I apologize. Sort of at a loss for words.

keysfins.bsky.social•15 hours ago

Do they plan on assembling a whole collection of bench slaps?

darkvegetaman.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Like… how common is even having the nerve to send this kind of letter? It feels very yikes.

petekeeley.bsky.social•15 hours ago

Okay please feel free to drag me and/or fill me on on relevant context in re: judical conduct that has ACTUALLY been addressed under the cited "canons," but if the quotes from the judge are accurate, that seems like, well, probably not misconduct, but not GREAT conduct either.

stevevladeck.bsky.social•15 hours ago

There's a heck of a lot of daylight between defending the conduct and arguing with a straight face that it's a violation of the relevant rules of professional conduct...

petekeeley.bsky.social•13 hours ago

Ok. That was kinda what I figured. 0 clue what a violation ACTUALLY looks like but I would assume, since federal judges are famously prickly, it’s gotta be way worse than this. Being drunk on the bench, telling a plaintiff to strip naked or be held in contempt, etc

petree09.bsky.social•15 hours ago

My first thought was “Good luck with this, DOJ.”

But then I thought that if DOJ had done something similar-ish for one of its attorneys many years ago, we may have avoided the villain origin story of Kash Patel

Of course their name is Chad.

What a fucking CHAD!

The display was … a bit over the top though.

All I heard her say was they are full of shit. 🤷‍♀️

vjsky.bsky.social•16 hours ago

No it's not. Asking him about Jesus? Putting him in the corner to teach him a lesson? That was not a good look. We can't afford to have people making stupid mistakes right now. What is on the line should not be treated with nothing but gravitas.

smiecz.bsky.social•16 hours ago

I assure you this is mid-range drama from a federal court judge. It’s a hot bench on the whole.

vjsky.bsky.social•16 hours ago

This was not a good look. We need to bring the best right now, not inject easy accusations of bias.

olliemcclellan.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Yes. Let's treat the facist bigots with civility and decorun.

/mdwm

vjsky.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Because if you don't - you don't look professional, you look biased, and there was no reason to make this situation look anything but. Take This Shit Seriously.

vjsky.bsky.social•16 hours ago

*Should Be Treated*

Chad Mizelle? Isn’t his wife a judge? Who has made some questionable rulings, even?

eduardodinero.bsky.social•15 hours ago

What a bunch of whiny bitches.

gordonvincent.bsky.social•15 hours ago

This is the part where she needs to land on these fuckers with both feet and criminal contempt.

nodietofworms.bsky.social•5 hours ago

It would be hard to cut Chad’s hypocrisy with a chainsaw.

thatguyyouhate6111.bsky.social•16 hours ago

And I couldn’t be happier!

I should try and write these down in a list for how these court rulings are going for later.

Trump and Musk have the biggest egos. Humiliation is possibly the best weapon against them.

updrafter.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Agnorant

pureapplesauce.bsky.social•14 hours ago

Have there been instances of conservative judges soliloquizing like Reyes did there? It's not misconduct but I do think it was rather unprofessional.

erikhendrickson.bsky.social•11 hours ago

That's the kind of letter a dictator's staff would write.

We're now living under a dictatorship. They're not very good at it; they don't have complete power yet; but for me, Trump/Musk is a dictatorship.

Attorney General Barbie had a lackey sign it for her.

Omfg the most butthurt stupid people having the keys to the government is so stupid and scary

It's a gallery of losers & mentally damaged weirdos. We really should make playing cards of them

a bad side show at coney island back in the day

there was a photographer named Edward Kelty who photographed them (saw a great exhibit of his work years ago).
this is what I think of when I think of the trump admin

He’s competing with Eagle Ed Martin for the big guy’s approval.

schmidtbrian.bsky.social•1 hour ago

I would say that asking an attorney about their personal religious beliefs is likely to be inappropriate. The letter just asserted that without providing evidence or context, though.

The rest was unimpressive.

julietin.bsky.social•16 hours ago

I am not a lawyer but the letter made me LOL at the DON lawyer being used as a prop😂😂😂

julietin.bsky.social•14 hours ago

I meant DOJ obviously

ladiaz.bsky.social•15 hours ago

appropriately named "chad".

Probably should have used the court’s correct name.

phillysky.bsky.social•16 hours ago

I’m sure they will look into this as quickly as they looked into the Thomas impropriety with the federalist donors.

csboyle.bsky.social•15 hours ago

Not good. Certainly signals a willingness, on the part of DOJ, to use the ethical complaint process as a weapon to cow certain judges (and/or maybe build a case to try to have them impeached).

cmalvica.bsky.social•15 hours ago

I hate to say it, but if a Federal Judge is intimidated by this, then they don't belong on the bench.

csboyle.bsky.social•15 hours ago

Perhaps. But complaints can at least be a distraction for the Judge, such as if they must answer the complaint, or sit for an interview, etc. In certain states—which of course operate differently than the Feds—it has become a a bit of an issue, e.g. North Carolina.
