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.

    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.
