You know what? They don’t have to take up a case on appeal. If they weren’t going to rule on this, they should have just stayed out of it. This much time passing? Well excuse me, it looks like they’re in the tank for someone.

No really. Seven years after his indictment Ken Paxton still has not been tried on securities fraud.

The thing about homeless sex offenders is that the authorities generally have no idea where they are living.
It’s probably why they were/are being asked to check in every week. To try to let the Government track them.

Even NYC civil court and housing court is far more expeditious than the 11th circuit. Currently Queens civil court has a two year backlog due to the pandemic.

A direct appeal from the district court, on a novel constitutional issue no less… How do they simply refuse to take the case? Where would that leave the case? How could the movant seek treview by the Stupremes?
Oh, and a minor detail that might could be at home in the lede, maybe:
Was the dc’s order stayed pending appeal, either by the dc or by the panel?
Is it a secret, @josh_kovensky?
Asked? I don’t think that’s the appropriate word. Maybe ordered would be strong enough. But given that said homeless person must present himself at two agencies, not likely located near each other, each week, and given that a homeless person just might be without transportation, I would favor this:

The article also fails to note that the Hon. William J. Pryor of the 11th Circuit…
… is a former Attorney General of the State of Alabama.

Could you be a little more explicit? Are you referring to the timing, substance or both?

Yes. All fascists are gangsters. They think and act like gangsters. The impunity of Inner Party members generally, and Outer Party members when they are serving the Party is axiomatic, unless and until they have the misfortune to get themselves purged. At which point any actual crimes they’ve committed may actually be included in the list of crimes at the show trial. If there is a show trial.
But common street criminals, rapists, burglars, arsonists, and murderers, black marketeers (periodically and conditionally), free lance swindlers and embezzlers, etc? They get rapid and impersonal dispensation of brutality that will be called “justice,” along with a bunch of people who committed no crime at all but got caught up in the machine or simply filled a need for an exemplary execution.
