This is brilliant. Obama’s attorneys have been pushing this Judge and threatening to appeal his decision if he doesn’t reconsider quickly.
By raising the possibility that the US lied to him about the status of waivers and requesting more info, he has effectively killed any chance of appeal.
Even the Circuit Court would be loathe to take the appeal while the District Court Judge has raised serious questions about intentional misrepresentation by the government.
He can take as long as he wants now. Will be fun to watch the government lawyers squirm.
I hope you are right.
