That's the case with all of this. They should be screaming to the high heavens about all of the judicial tyranny. They should be in front of cameras constantly. They refuse to lead.Im Gipper said:
Tillis is rightfully the "face" of this Martin non-confirmation, but were are the other members of the Judiciary Committee? Has Cruz, Kennedy, Lee, Hawley been pushing for him?
The silence from the GOP is deafening.
She has been a DA before so she HAS led a team of attorneys...nortex97 said:
My question is why/how would this be a 'win'?
Even accepting arguendo that Boasberg would agree to it, she's a blow hard, period with no demonstrable record of getting anything done leading a team of attorneys.
We seem to be reading the headlines without really knowing the underlying script, imho.
Pirro was elected as a judge of the Westchester County (N.Y.) Court in 1990.Im Gipper said:
There is no question in my mind that Martin is a much more qualified and capable candidate! Pirro is more of a "oh yeah?? Well take this!!"
A county DA with a spotty record, track record of insubordination, before becoming a judge, then a failed political candidate, and then TV personality. Hardly a USA in the most important district in the country.Ag with kids said:She has been a DA before so she HAS led a team of attorneys...nortex97 said:

Quote:
Within months of taking office, Pirro undertook a costly renovation to the district attorney's facilities and expanded to an additional floor of the county courthouse. The largest expenses were a new kitchenette and a media room, costing $20,000, to assist Pirro's growing profile; additional expenditures were made to remodel her personal office with mahogany.
…
During her tenure as district attorney, she repeatedly refused to reopen the case of the murder of Angela Correa by Jeffrey Deskovic.In 1990, Deskovic was falsely convicted of killing the then-15-year-old Correa, and spent 16 years in prison before he was exonerated by DNA evidence; the real killer eventually confessed to the crime. Deskovic later won a $41.6 million lawsuit against Daniel Stephens and Westchester County for his wrongful conviction.
Not exactly an illustrious knowledge of federal law, or a track record of gleaming success even in that much lower level of criminal prosecution. She won't be working in DC to prosecute domestic violence cases much. This is more akin to A&M hiring a high school football coach as the head man. It's a reach, and frankly if she does submit to a full FBI background check I doubt she would pass it.Quote:
On May 28, 1986, Pirro announced her withdrawal from the race, saying that her husband could not disclose his legal clients or the couple's business interests (later revealed to have been her husband's partial ownership of a Connecticut garbage hauling company with alleged mafia connections), and that many of his clients did business with the state, which would make it "virtually impossible" for her to serve as Lieutenant Governor.

Hey, at least this time the clown judge discussed jurisdiction. Sure, she cited…2 minority circuit opinions being smarter/better in his esteemed judgment vs. the majority, and then declared this wouldn't happen/no judicial review unless her holiness does this.
Illston is a 76 year old Clinton judge on senior status for over 10 years. Another Feinstein stain.

🚨 #BREAKING: A federal judge has given President Trump the GREEN LIGHT to use IRS data to track down illegal immigrants

GAME CHANGER! 🔥 pic.twitter.com/9Uy6oCvySF
Quote:
A federal judge on Monday denied an injunction request to prevent the Department of Homeland Security and Internal Revenue Service from partnering to permit U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement (ICE) to access taxpayer information to locate illegal immigrants subject to deportation.
The order by U.S. District Judge Dabney Friedrich came amid a lawsuit by Centro de Trabajadores Unidos and other immigrant-rights groups against Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.
"Plaintiffs Centro de Trabajadores Unidos, Immigrant Solidarity DuPage, Somos Un Pueblo Unido, and Inclusive Action for the City bring this action seeking declaratory and injunctive relief to prevent the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) from sharing personal tax information with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for immigration enforcement purposes. Before the Court is the plaintiffs' Motion for Preliminary Injunction, Dkt. 28. For the reasons that follow, the Court will deny the motion."
"At its core, this case presents a narrow legal issue: Does the Memorandum of Understanding between the IRS and DHS violate the Internal Revenue Code? It does not," the order continued.
We'll see. Oh btw, Sotomayor should, in a sane world far, far away, recuse herself from all cases involving Trump after calling on lawyers/judges to join the cause vs. Trump.Quote:
And the era of nationwide injunctions could come to an end later this week when the Supreme Court hears a case on birthright citizenship. The case probably won't decide whether birthright citizenship is legal under the 14th Amendment. What the case is really about is the nationwide injunctions different courts have used to block Trump's executive order on the topic.Vox's coverage of this notes that nationwide injunctions have opponents on both sides of the aisle.Quote:
...based on the Trump administration's request for emergency intervention and the limited filings at this point, the justices are likely to decide an important procedural issue, rather than directly decide who's entitled to citizenship...
The method invoked against the Trump administration is known as a "nationwide injunction," when a single US district court judge blocks enforcement of a government action not merely in the judge's district but throughout the country. Administration lawyers have urged the justices to narrow the injunctions to cover only those parties to the cases.Quote:
The question of whether a single federal trial judge may issue an order that binds the entire country is fraught and has been hotly disputed for years. During the later days of the first Trump administration, Republican Justice Neil Gorsuch published an uncharacteristically persuasive concurring opinion arguing that these nationwide orders must be reined in.
Gorsuch argued that injunctions court orders that either require a party to take a particular action or forbid them from doing so are "meant to redress the injuries sustained by a particular plaintiff in a particular lawsuit." When one judge can go much further, halting an entire federal policy nationwide, that creates an asymmetry. "There are currently more than 1,000 active and senior district court judges," Gorsuch wrote. In a world with nationwide injunctions, plaintiffs can shop around for the one judge in America who is most likely to be sympathetic to their cause, and potentially secure a court order that no other judge would hand down...
...nationwide injunctions so frustrated the Biden administration that, on her way out the door, Biden's solicitor general, Elizabeth Prelogar, filed a brief asking the justices to limit these broad orders. That brief was filed in December 2024, after Trump had won the election, so Prelogar knew that Trump was likely to benefit if the justices took her up on her invitation.

4/ SCOTUS entered injunction even though lower court NEVER entered decision on class certification one way or the other & NEVER decided whether or not to enter injunction in favor of the putative class, one way or the other and 5th Circuit never decided either.
— Margot Cleveland (@ProfMJCleveland) May 13, 2025
6/ Last week the district court denied class certification, meaning there is NO CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT and thus the injunction SCOTUS entered makes no sense!!! SCOTUS injunction said Trump can't remove any tDa members in northern Texas district but only 2 individuals are Plaintiffs
— Margot Cleveland (@ProfMJCleveland) May 13, 2025
16/ One final thought: I absolutely LOVE how Trump Administration is wiping SCOTUS' face in fact its injunction was so unthought-through it technically barred deportation of tDa members deportable for other reasons & forcing SCOTUS to acknowledge mistake by altering injunction.
