Judge refuses to allow DOJ to change lawyers in census case
FTA:
“Defendants provide no reasons, let alone ‘satisfactory reasons,’ for the substitution of counsel,” wrote U.S. District Judge Jesse Furman, who is presiding over one of three lawsuits that aim to keep to the citizenship question off the census.
Furman said any future motions to withdraw would need to be supported by a signed and sworn affidavit.
“Any new motions to withdraw shall be supported by a signed and sworn affidavit from each counsel seeking to withdraw (1) stating ‘satisfactory reasons’ for withdrawing at this stage of the litigation and (2) in light of Plaintiffs’ forthcoming motion for sanctions ... confirming that (a) he or she submits to the jurisdiction of this Court with respect to that motion and any future motions (or orders to show cause) regarding sanctions and (b) he or she will be available in the event that the Court requires his or her attendance at any future hearings regarding such motions or orders. In the event any new motion is filed, new counsel for Defendants shall also file an affidavit providing unequivocal assurances that the substitution of counsel will not delay further litigation of this case (or any future related case),” Furman wrote.
Oh fer gawd’s sake - can’t they just consult with the old lawyers/sit next to them/join their team??

The rule by judge is accelerating mightily.
Needs to be put into reverse.
How many judges did Lincoln have arrested again?
Imagine a judge telling the Executive Dept (DoJ) what lawyers they can use. Thomas Jefferson was right, the greatest threat to the Republic is likely to be a tyranny of the judges. Someone must put these judges in their place.
