Flynn update:
Judge Sullivan refuses to give up - and asks the DC Circuit for a rehearing (en banc) on the dismissal of the Flynn case.
Allegation: the DC Circuit granting of mandamus "threatens the orderly administration of justice."

Panel is majority swamp.
The law is whatever the unelected judge says it is.
The DC Circuit is far left. Flynn was lucky to get a favorable 3 judge panel, but if the case is reviewed en banc, they will reverse the panel. There is no other reason to rehear it. We have watched this play out several times in the 9th circus. Get a big decision from a panel only to see it reversed by the full court.
Dems have the majority on that particular appellate court. That is the reason Dem Sullivan is making the en banc review request. He figures it will be decided along political lines if they do review it. I can/t say I disagree with him.
