Cue conspiracy theory #5,927: Joe Biden sent armed marauders over to the 5th circuit and forced them to change the order.

The rubber stamp, you see?

It is rubber?

Are they done completely independently of actual judges? If so, that would seem to be loosely analogous to the stated reason by the far-righties in and out of the courts about administrative rules being written by people in the relevant agencies being null and void because Congress did not write everything.

Usually, yes. The judges just send instructions on whatever administrative action they want to happen and the clerk’s office puts it in an order. “Motion for rehearing is GRANTED” would not be one any of the judges would need to put eyes on first.

The 5th Circuit’s Clerk of Court told TPM that the original order was a “clerical error.”

YEAH RIGHT. Much more likely was there was swift blow back. I have a hard time believing that such a "clerical Error’ would occur.

So difficult to just ram through partisan horse-shit with all these pesky rules to get in the way.

Seems like a rerun of the Dobbs case. “Oh, we didn’t mean to say that. Actually, we did.”

The legal version of a Kinsley Gaffe. We are the Royal Court of Reich Wing Amerikkka, take us seriously, we are The Law.

Coming from you, it’s worth trusting. I assume you have made mistakes on occasion, but you are forthright, candid, and clear-eyed. You don’t seem to miss much.

Dogs I’ve known have been excellent judges of character. No wonder Drumpf fears them and denigrates them. They have his number.

It’s nice when the legal system finally has an opportunity to confirm what we been knowing for years. And years. And years…
