At least, thank g, all the Biden judges did get through in time, I was watching that with bated breath. It ended up being a greater number than Trump got in his term (through McConnell’s chicanery). Sometimes Dems do move decisively…

As for Cannon, maybe she never had any to begin with. The personality-disordered flock together.

I think Biden would have plenty of time to deal with that. Except, here’s the thing: presidents and other officials have long had immunity from civil suits over their actions in office, because if they didn’t, everyone who didn’t like anything they did would be suing constantly, it would never end. It was exactly that legitimate need that gave them civil immunity for ages. To see that twisted and turned into a justification for criminal immunity as well was maybe the worst of all the terrible media failures of this century, no reporting I saw ever clarified the distinction and the fact that there was good reason for civil, but absolutely not for criminal, yet they used the legitimate rationale for the one, dishonestly, to seek the other. (And got it, from their hand-raised little brood of monsters on the Court.) So, even without that, Biden would still have been immune from suits. And I too like the idea of the current president/administration using this corrupt ruling for their own purposes. Yet I can also see why they don’t want to touch it.

Endemic among Dems, sadly. En-Dem-ic!!
C’mon, Joe, use your newly granted immunity to declare Smith’s report public domain. Use your malarky words to explain that the American people need to know who they elected. And then moon SCOTUS

It’s of course likely that both of those systems were just overwhelmed, flooded, and may stay that way to the 20th. But good on you, and your nervousness (I’m afraid) does make sense.

But this is also in the context of your justifiably popular earlier comment to the effect that Cannon’s ruling is such glaring bullshit and such a non-starter that it can be safely ignored. It’s clearly correct. My only concern really is, can we rely on Garland to just release it on that basis? He’s the AG of the US, I can’t see what would move him not to.
Are Trump and his lawyers just asking to the unredacted reports to be leaked?
Hello Pro-Publica?
Yes I know, once sworn in, King-Emperor Donald I, Lord of Mar-A-Lago, President of the United States, King of Greenland, Emperor of Panama and Canada will order the leaker hung from the highest peak, and dissected with bone saws.
Nothing stays secret forever. Except the name of the head of the Deep State.

All kinds of court orders are glaring bullshit non-starters, but you still generally have to obey them until you can get them reversed or rescinded. The problem with Cannon’s order is that she has no longer has any jurisdiction to rule in the case, which renders the “order” a nullity. You or I could issue orders in the case with all the same legal effect as hers of this morning.
“Rely” isn’t the word I would use. I expect he’ll let the 11th Circuit straighten it out. There is little reason to think that it won’t. If it doesn’t, we’ll have to see what other steps he takes to carry out his duties under the special counsel regulations.

I prefer Canada. My Mother was born there, and there are relatives living
in Nova Scotia. Nova Scotia is too small for me. I need big cities with museums, plays, etc. However, my family is in So California and I cannot leave them. 3 grandchildren, one great-grandson.

Biden won’t release it, nor Garland.
They keep deferring to the nonsensical insanity from a manifestly corrupt judge who has no jurisdiction.
If they are compelled to delay its release every single time Trump’s lawyers file anything no matter how frivolous… its how trump has been winning for decades.
They care more about so-called rules and norms and are frankly complicit at this point. There is probably some type of kompromat on them as well, embarrassing enough to play the ‘rule and norms’ card for cover.
Oh sure you say BUT THIS TIME we got him!

Neither Smith nor Garland would be covered by Presidential immunity. President Biden should personally release the report and make the House impeach him instead of working on their MegaMAGA Underbus bill that Rump is demanding.

As far as the comment line, there’s still a holiday message on the VM saying that their office is closed until the start of the year. It mentions the email address and then hangs up.
The electronic submission form is just gone on the “contact us” page. Just a link to usa.gov if you want to request assistance from a federal agency.
It’s one thing if I’m calling my local plumber or something and the message is stale…the white house? that’s a little weird.
