The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit ruled 2-1 Friday that U.S. District Judge James Boasberg cannot move forward with possible contempt proceedings against the Trump administration.
The case involves the administration’s alleged violation of an emergency court order blocking the administration from using a 1798 law to summarily deport hundreds of Venezuelan migrants to El Salvador — the latest in an evolving, high-stakes court clash that has played out for months in various courts.
Judges Gregory Katsas and Neomi Rao, two Trump appointees on the majority-Democrat bench, sided with the Trump administration Friday in blocking Boasberg’s contempt motion from moving forward.
Judge Nina Pillard, an Obama appointee, dissented.
The 2-1 ruling is all but certain to be appealed to the full court to be heard en banc, where the Democrat-majority bench is seen as more favorable to the plaintiffs, or directly to the Supreme Court for review.

Not likely as this will then end up in the SC and it is a good bet the SC will find for Trump, Bosberg was already ignoring the previous SC ruling.
Why isn’t Boasburger bunking with his butt buddy, the Abrego Kid?
I hope Boasberg is being investigated. This guy and his disgusting daughter are neck deep in corruption.

Up!
These picks keep doing this because there is no consequence and they believe, probably are, they are untouchable.
I agree, I meant there could be a reversal at the circuit court level. SCOTUS would probably rule for Trump, but it’s possible they would send it back to Boasberg.
Only 8 federal judges have ever been removed via the process that starts with impeachment.
How can they miss him since they investigating FISA process against Carter Page?

This makes it sound more negative toward Boasberg, actually two rulings against his overreach
(VIA CNN) – A divided federal appeals court ruled on Friday that US District Court Judge James Boasberg cannot move ahead with criminal contempt proceedings against Trump administration officials involved in a high-stakes immigration case.
The 2-1 ruling from the US DC Circuit Court of Appeals wipes away a ruling from Boasberg, an appointee of former President Barack Obama issued in April that said “probable cause exists” to hold administration officials in criminal contempt for violating his orders in mid-March halting the use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport alleged Venezuelan gang members.
The appeals court had temporarily put Boasberg’s plans on ice while it weighed the government’s appeal of the ruling, and Friday’s ruling represents a significant setback for the judge, who had vowed to hold officials involved in the matter accountable.
In a separate decision on Friday, the DC Circuit wiped away a different ruling from Boasberg that required the administration to give the migrants flown to a notorious mega-prison in El Salvador under the Alien Enemies Act an opportunity to challenge their removal from the US under the sweeping wartime law.
Boasberg Is an absolute piece of SHIT.
Get rid of that disgusting, wicked son of Hell.
1 of those 3 should not be a judge.
Everything in front of the SC goes whatever way John Roberts votes and that sucks because he often goes with the lefties lately.
No, it goes wherever the majority of the Court goes. Also, John Roberts has been going "often" with the Left lately? Really? In what cases in the current term?
Time to heap massive lawfare on Blowsberg. It’s the only surefire weapon to destroy leftist pigs like him.
The court ruled against Boasberg’s contempt of court action, not against the plaintiff’s case.
Can an overruled judge appeal his supervisor’s decision?
As a non-lawyer, this doesn’t make sense
“Judge” Bozoberg needs to retire.
In the first place, the ruling was from a 3 judge panel, so if the full DC court of appeals accepts it, Blowsberg can try the full DC appeals court. They will probably accept, but if they don’t Blowsberg could try SCOTUS, which might take it or send it back to Blowsberg.
