Well, so do we.
But our 1st Amendment right to speech and worship has been shredded.
Our 2nd Amendment right has been ignored and trampled by both the states, the Feds, and the courts.
Our 4th Amendment right is violated daily by Big Brother.
And when they haul us into prison, we can yell: "But, the Constitution!"
The Obama Administration, their career civil servant allies, and the corrupt judge in this case have shown contempt for justice, the Constitution, and our laws. Their behavior have set an example for the behavior of the lawless thugs who are currently destroying both peace and property.
A cursory glance of the two briefs: Judge Sullivan and his counsels together with the brief prepared by the DOJ led by the Solicitor General puts the issues and the recommendations in clear contrast. Sullivan’s intent cannot be allowed to proceed. If the Circuit Court rules in his favor, they should just as well don their black hoods and join the molotov cocktail throwers. Perhaps they might finish the job started by the mob at St. John’s church.
If his “logic” prevails it will radically change the very nature of our judicial system and expand the role of judges. Very dangerous.
It would also effectively overturn the recent USSC ruling dealing with the same kind of matter.
The Left continues its wanton destruction of everything in its path.
We are way past rule of law in this country.

Interesting that Cleveland completely fails to make a LEGAL argument in response to Sullivan’s brief. Despite Cleveland’s emphasis on how the facts are presented, she never addresses the issue whether the conflicting facts in the Flynn case are “unique” as Sullivan says, nor the significance of the fact that Sullivan has decided nothing as yet.
There were (I am guessing) a dozen very interesting legal questions raised in Sullivan’s brief. Regardless of how they are resolved, they deserve more than flustered accusation.
Cleveland has been Powell’s personal “spokesman” (so to speak) from the beginning, so much so I suspect that Cleveland has also been a legal advisor.
Here is what I think is the actual significance of Cleveland’s take. Powell has not and does not want hearings where Flynn and his previous lawyers testify. Those hearings have the potential to be humiliating to both Flynn and Powell.
Think about this: why wouldn’t Powell WELCOME hearings to highlight and emphasize her contentions? To really show how screwed Flynn was by the process and his previous lawyers? Powell would get to call Flynn as a witness and have absolute free reign to let him tell his side of the story.
Powell supporter Cleveland understands that hearings would be harmful to Flynn and Powell, so she is doing what people do when they are trying to avoid something, scream bloody outrage, rather than engage in reasoned analysis.
“[I]t is unprecedented for an Acting U.S. Attorney to contradict the solemn representations that career prosecutors made time and again.”
Unless those career prosecutors are unethical louts doing the bidding of their Deep State overlords...
Stop the farce! Gen Flynn must be restored and given latitude to sue these assclowns for damages.
Will this same group if Senators move to impeach this man in a black robe? Thats the next anly only remedy that will knock this POS off his lofty perch.
When lawlessness isn’t punished, there will be no Law to obey. The Left has had a free ride in this country for way too long. It is time to put the LAW back into our country and apply it TO ALL CRIMINALS. Not just the Conservatives.......without LAW, we have anarchy.....as is being demonstrated in the public sphere lately.
The PURPOSE of ACTION of Sullivan and his handlers is DELAY.
The REASON for DELAY is to maintain the GAG ORDER on General Flynn.
General Flynn has EVIDENCE AGAINST DEEP STATE.
The GAG ORDER prevents General Flynn from discussing the case and related matters with anyone including EVIDENCE.
Attorney General Bill Barr dropped the charges against General Flynn on May 7, 2020, Since then, 25 days have elapsed; 25 DAYS DELAY ALREADY.
How many more days will elapse before the case is dismissed or a Writ removes Sullivan from the case?
The APPELLATE ORDER was not to address the motion for Writ of Mandamus. It was an order for Sullivan to EXPLAIN.
For the appeals court to take up the matter of the Writ, they must give Sullivan MORE DAYS OF DELAY to respond to the motion and yet more days for Flynn’s attorney to reply. MORE DELAY COMING.
Further, Sullivan’s Attorney can file interim motions requesting hearing before the full EN BANC APPELLATE PANEL resulting in MORE DELAY.
The result will be Sullivan’s removal from the case.
Why are these delay tactics being performed?
To delay for as long as possible while the case is active the testimony of General Flynn against Deep State persons and their superiors that will result in their prosecutions.
Once General Flynn is allowed to speak and testify about the case, the Department of Justice will investigate and press charges ON A SCHEDULE THAT COLLIDES WITH THE ELECTION.
There was a time when my reaction would have been that the Constitution trumps all. (No pun intended...) I'm not getting that feeling these days, however...
Huh? Have you read the call that the FBI used to pursued Flynn? Also, maybe Powell wants this shut down for a much more altruistic argument. Saving her client money and to stop dragging her client through the mud. He never was guilty of anything, he was setup, destroyed, and coerce. Now you want her to drag this out further? It is not in the best interest of client to have this drag on forever.
The fourth box is Pandora’s. The lock has been picked, the box opened and the Demons set free to rule the streets and kill Uncle Sam.
The higher court that is ruling on this is, like all courts, political. I expect they will deny the motion for mandamus and, unencumbered by any threat from above, Sullivan will go full-on hanging judge mode.
I further suspect that because he leaned so heavily on suggestions that the noble and pure career prosecutor (who corruptly hid evidence) surprisingly reversed his recommendation there must have been corrupt influence from above, he will begin investigating the DOJ from the bench. He's a puppet, his puppet masters have told him to wreak as much havok as he can, as far and widely as he can. He'll do so.
Sullivan thus makes the case for mandamus.
Sullivan should have been immediately removed from the case after his outburst FROM THE BENCH!
That he wasn’t proves what a sham this whole enterprise has been from start to finish.

That’s an excellent article. Flynn didn’t lie.
Say WHAT?
Pandora’s box was opened long ago. All man’s evils escaped. The last item in the box, limped out with the word “Hope” emblazoned on it. Today’s fourth box is the ammo box.
Proving Why It Was Necessary,the DNC said so.
