The judge threatened to sanction the IG lawyers if they didn’t immediately rescind the request for an emergency hearing because she’s so busy with other cases caused by Trump.

    Guess they should have just rushed a half baked arguement faster instead of spending the time trying to make sure the case would set a solid precedent.

      Look at the first section I quoted - they presented a half baked argument even moving at that pace.

        Imagine how much worse it would have been if they rushed it!

        Honestly the judge dismissing being dismissive of the case because Trump could just fire them in 30 days is fucking stupid. Like, it was a cut and dried case to begin with and the judge doesn’t care because they have other cases.

          She didn’t dismiss the case, she just refused their request to be reinstated while the case proceeds. And it was an emergency request, where the IGs not filing quickly makes it look less like an emergency.

              She was being dismissive because they were extremely unprofessional. That doesn’t mean they will lose in the end. But they failed to show that this is an emergency.

      When you ask for a TRO, you are asking for temporary measures due to an emergency. They aren’t your last word, you are expected to follow up later with your full argument.

      This is equivalent to asking your teacher for an extension three weeks after the assignment was due. A complete fail.
