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.

I think the point is, the plaintiffs are telling the judge “this is of the utmost urgency” 21 days after the fact. The judge feels that, if the plaintiffs really felt that it was that urgent they should have acted with urgency themselves. So the judge is giving their request the same level of urgency that they did themselves.
If they had made a similar motion the day after the firing took place, their motion might have been granted, but this seems like a case of “too little too late”.
Fuck the judge’s feelings though, “if it really was that important you should have complained harder” is an insane take from the worst kind of bad teacher attitude.
It has nothing to do with the jusldge’s feelings.whats the point in issuing a Temporary Restraining Order 21 days after the fact when it is moot 30 days after? A TRO on day 1 would have made sense. A TRO on day 21 does nothing but add to the chaos. They are still going forward with other legal arguments but the TRO served no purpose at this point.
