See post 20.
“Under the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure, a trial court judge is not even allowed to respond to a petition for mandamus unless invited to do so by the court of appeals.”
Great point! It just shows the depth of Sullivan’s criminality that he even responded to the petition despite being legally prohibited from doing so.
Obviously, if he was given permission to do so, instead of breaking the law like he did, then he would be entitled to ask to appeal. Only a great and insightful lawyer could see the subtle circumstance: if the court did not give you permission to respond to the petition in the first place (is that even allowed? I doubt it!) then you certainly cannot ask for a further appeal.
Curious, can Sullivan be prosecuted for responding to the petition in the first place? Some corrupt official on the court let that happen. Let’s hope the corruption is ended by the court telling him to stop breaking the law!
Federal Judges can be impeached. This one should be.
Please explain
Like I posted. on Politico today they said Sullivan is not allowed to do this. He decided to be “creative”. But Wilks or another D.C circuit judge still can. If they dont act then case automatically dismissed July 15th.
Sullivan can not request en banc.
Sullivan is not a party to the case. Therefore, he has no standing to ask for an en banc review, nor to appeal to SCOTUS.
The correct response by the appeals court is that neither the judge’s lawyer nor the judge have any standing.
Oh. Thanks for the explanation. I’m never very good at figuring out the legalities of these things.
As a former judge himself, Gleason, unlike Wilkerson, would know that this was not permitted.
And the cherry on top is that he is asserting that the Court (him in this case, but in principle any other Federal judge) has the RIGHT to order an adversarial proceeding after the adversaries have withdrawn, with new adversaries chosen by him alone.
Because the government is so out of control, it would not surprise me if the DC circuit endorsed such a notion, but it obviously smashes down the wall separating judicial from executive functions, and could be considered part of the coup because it could only happen with President Trump in the White House.
