JUST IN: Insolent DOJ filing says Judge Boasberg is engaged in 'picayune dispute over the micromanagement of immaterial factfinding' & beating 'dead horse' re whether USG defied his order re deportation planes. US may invoke state secrets privilege. Doc: https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.dcd.278436/gov.uscourts.dcd.278436.37.0_1.pdf

picayune dispute over “shipping people to a slave labor camp in El Salvador without due process, after being specifically ordered not to.”
This judge is
(1) Chief of D.C. Fed. Ct.
(2) Former head of FISA Court (top secret stuff) appt’d by C.J. Roberts
(3) Pals w/ Kavanaugh.
Once DOJ has lied in Fed Ct no fed judge will give them an oz. of slack.
Toast.👋🏻
With fries??
Verbal pablum.
...the state of war has not been terminated by act of Congress or by Executive Proclamation. ... It is not for the courts to determine the end of a war declared by the Congress.
Citizens Protective League v. Clark, 155 F.2d 290, 295 (D.C. Cir. 1946)
Congress has not, in fact, initiated a state of war.
The defiance is obscene
We have the dumbest people ever in charge.
Just what you'd expect from a group of self-serving a-holes committed to breaking the law.
If the courts allow this, then EVERYTHING the administration does will be suddenly covered under 'national security".
I hope the judge not only smacks them down, but holds them accountable for the blatant disrespect that they reflect in this filing!
Eastman's loyalty cost him his license!
Oh clearly that has Steven Miller’s greasy fingerprints on it…
“The two branches are coequal, and the Court's continued intrusions into the prerogatives of the Executive Branch, especially on a non-legal and factually irrelevant matter, should end.”
DOJ is declaring that the 1803 Supreme Court precedent of Marbury v Madison is dead.
Sometimes, I really want to grab one of those Trump regime folks and go “English, motherfucker, do you speak it?” Because there is nothing picayune about selling people that were on American soil to another country as slave laborers
did they have an LLM write this?
case long enough"
Let's not bicker and argue over who killed who...
would not surprise me if the question comes up in these proceedings. would also not surprise me if DOJ continues to stonewall.
And the lawyers working on behalf of Trump know their arguments are specious.
Is Steve Cheung coaching the lawyers on how to write these angry, insipid, childish passages?
That poor woman hasn’t stopped shaking since.
I worry for her.
Jus’ axin’. 🙄🤔🤬
These are mostly Trump apparatchiks, so likely not.
Do none of them fear consequences? They are simply drunk on power.
Sadly, Roberts may let them continue to run amok.
State secrets privilege - well, of that is held, it’s ballgame. He can say everything is a state secret.
Also very disgusting is Billy Bush.
He said he can get away with anything.

Doesn’t Musk know that Trump’s underlings eventually go down?! Trump won’t care. He usually walks away unscathed.
Steve’s all about all caps!!!!!
“Loud emphasis” somehow translates into knowledge and authority. 🙁
First mention of “cuckoo-bananapants” on wiktionary is from the Bear in 2016.
@chuckwendig.bsky.social used the related “loco bananapants” in his book Thunderbird a year later.
The law. Federal Marshals and FBI work for Trump. Headed for gang rule.
