New York federal Judge Paul Engelmayer’s temporary restraining order blocking the Trump administration’s access to Treasury documents happened so fast it’s unlikely he carefully read the case filings. The filings from the 19 suing Democrat state attorneys generals were so voluminous, and Engelmayer’s order was entered so quickly, that it could not possibly have been the product of reasoned judicial analysis and reflection. The stench is so bad, questions of possible corruption must be answered.
Engelmayer is the first judge ever to grant a temporary restraining order (TRO) against the president of the United States that also forbids a cabinet secretary from accessing his own records without giving these parties an opportunity to respond. He offered zero analysis of his constitutional authority to make such a radical ruling, the federal rule governing injunctions and temporary restraining orders, or why he is enabling fraud and grift by blocking access to records that show who got government money and for what.

Good point. Every time you turn around there’s a story in the news where somebody got hurt or killed and the perpetrator had ironically “just been released a couple of months prior” even though they had convictions :(
Get a court order barring federal payments to any religious NGO.
U.S. Constitution, Article 1, Section 9 -
4. Appropriations and Public Money: Money cannot be drawn from the Treasury without proper authorization from law, and there must be regular statements and accounts of public funds.
How does the Judge consolidate that?

My question (non lawyer). Trump as chief executive of the USA found waste, fraud and illegal transfer of taxpayer funds. All crimes. So 20 State AG’s sue and a Judge issues TRO to stop Trump and allow crimes to continue. My question why can’t the US DOJ charge and arrest the 20 AGs and the Judge for conspiracy to perpetrate crimes against the United States?
I certainly *hope* articles of impeachment are drawn up for this black robed tyrant!
The judge could have had advance copies of the filing...and been involved from the beginning.
They are right. My lawyer friends and I (I am a lawyer too) call it Black Robe Fever. There is something in the fabric and threads of the black robe that gives superpowers. We just have to find the kryptonite in this case. I think Lucas (author of the anrticle) explained it well.
But, even then, he didn’t stress the ex parte nature of what happened. It is unethical for a lawyer to present a matter without notice and opportunity (due process) to be heard. IT IS ESPECIALLY UNETHICAL FOR A JUDGE TO CONDUCT AN EX PARTE HEARING. The judge needs to see how it feels to defend an impeachment proceeding on his own dime, as the DOJ would not defend him.

Very likely.
Good comment.
Engelmayer is a dirty “judge”.
judge Paul Engelmayer, who just BLOCKED a USAID reform, is married to Emily Mandestam, who works for “The New York Association For New Americans” - an NGO…
