Judge Emmet G. Sullivan should not be required to act as a “mere rubber stamp” for the government’s unusual move to undo the guilty plea of President Trump’s former national security adviser Michael Flynn, the judge’s lawyers told a federal appeals court in Washington on Monday.

I hope that these jerks are being well paid to write nonsense briefs like this one. The Judge cannot usurp the powers of the Executive which is exactly what he is doing. He may only take action IAW Rule 48, if he must do so to protect the defendant against improper actions by the government. In this case, he is attempting to do the opposite and he cannot be allowed to proceed.

Does this clueless corrupt judge really intend to prosecute LTG Flynn for illegally representing the Government of Turkey, an offense for which he was never charged? The brief suggests that he will do this. Crazy.

Now we know why Madison in Federalist 47 called this sort of thing tyranny.

Judges lose absolute immunity when they perform actions which are not within the scope of their judicial capacity.

There are a pair of ex-judges in Pennsylvania serving time as felons in Pennsylvania because of a scheme where they separated white male non-violent juvenile “offenders” from their families and assigned the to group homes, in return for cash kickbacks from the group home operators.

Judge Sullivan acts as if Michael Flynn is the first person ever to plead guilty when innocent as part of a plea agreement.

I'm kind of surprised the judge has not called on the House Judiciary Committee to start impeachment proceedings against Barr for wanting the drop the case against Gen. Flynn. Maybe that comes later.
