WTH...
Can a judge tell the DOJ how to handle a case?
Reasons? Incompetent? Fired? Retired? Heck, just because. That should be good enough. Besides since when is it a judge’s concern over who someone picks to represent them so long as they are licensed and in good standing?
Yes a 47-year old judge at that. I give credit to Obama for going youth on majority of his judges. We celebrate that trump gets many 60 year olds appointed. We have zero long term outlook at all.
Jesse Furman is just another Barack Obama stooge screwing with what Trump wants to do. One after another, they step up to interfere with what Trump is trying to do. Obama sure picked carefully, did he not?
I guess they’ll have to be fired.
Oh please that’s absurd.
The Court cannot tell a party who it can use as counsel. This judge (an Obama appointee, of course) is waaaaaay out of bounds. When the judiciary becomes political, the rule of law is over. We are pretty much at that stage, and only bad shit can be the result.
It is time that these damn judges are grought under control. They have the attitude that they can do anything they want with impunity — and so far they are right. I believe Roberts is overall in charge of the judiciary branch of the government but it is obvious he is too corrupt (Obamacare, Census) or lazy to do anything about judges that are making political rulings and saying their rulings apply to the entire country rather than just their jurisdiction. This is the only branch of the government that is not accountable to the people and they are abusing that.
“On June 7, 2011, President Barack Obama nominated Furman to a seat on the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York”
Dear John Roberts..you are full of $hit about judges being apolitical.
DJT will put out an EO to put the question BACK on the Census. This case will then become moot because the SOC putting on the question might require the APA to be followed. However, an EO does not have the same requirement and the resistance will be forced to challenge the EO in the 9th district.
They will then force the issue back to SCOTUS and the EO will stand on its own merits. Because the Court has already ruled adding the question is fine. It is just the manner it was added that had Roberts panties in a wad.
And then we will check the box if you are a citizen.
Because we let them?
it is extraordinarily rare or even irregular for a court to prohibit a party to change attorneys
this undermines the entire concept of being represented in court...as the judge is forcing a party to continue a case with counsel it does not choose to have representing it anymore
this raises a number of constitutional problems and in all likelihood a higher court would overturn any adverse ruling after a party were forced to proceed with counsel not of its choosing
Obviously the Judge has disqualified themselves from ruling on this case.
Did SCOTUS rule when Obama removed the citizenship question?? What was his stated reason?
That won’t stand
The hell they can’t. Attorneys are fired and replaced constantly. That is a reversible error to force a party to a lawsuit to remain with an attorney they want to fire.
My guess is that the Deep State federal litigators didn’t want to win, so they made very weak arguments. Barr figured out what they were doing and decided to replace them. This case should have been a no-brainer.
This is crap. The basic rule is you have a right to counsel of your choice. You don’t have a right to a continuance of the case because you tired of your previous counsel. The judge is out of line if not delay would be involved.
