The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals has ordered the dismissal of former President Trump’s civil lawsuit challenging the seizure of government records at Mar-a-Lago. The much-anticipated decision by the appeals court fully repudiated the district court’s controversial early decisions in the case and effectively ended the use of a special master to review documents in the case.
Deary Dearie me! Oh to be a fly on the wall when the special master's invoice arrives. Icing on the humble-pie cake. What will he do - rip it up, eat it, flush it, or infarct?
I’m trying to be buoyed by this news. I just cannot get Ukrainians out of my mind shivering in the cold and trying to merely live. The map you posted showing places lit and places dark is such a stark reminder of how fortunate we are in regards to “comfort of our homes”. Well, not in Texas, but still comfort against the winter freeze is prevalent in the US. People wonder at how resourceful the Ukrainian people are. It’s the same with poverty culture in America. Problem solvers, help your neighbor, stay in the moment. Was true of all my students from homes that functioned through poverty. Their resourcefulness is their greatest, stupendous resource.
Loosey goose Cannon does not compare favorably to the value of integrity. She must be Stefanik’s twin somehow. I hope she chokes on her false sense of authority masked by arrogance. I loathe both of those simpering mouthpieces for MAGAtVille.
Download of the 11th's decision is available on their website. Excellent ruling and thank you, TC for the factual report. I sincerely hope DOJ and Jack Smith are moving in the background to consider Trump a flight risk as these doors keep closing on him.Especially with all the Saudi billions he and his family have raked in. My tea leaves are
I’m stunned. I mean, it’s a pleasant feeling, but one gets so used to The Orange One skating by, dodging bullets, being handed victories on a silver platter--just because he claims to he rich--that seeing a dose of reality handed out--a genuine naked emperor moment--just leaves me grinning in stunned silence. Which is what I’ve been doing in the hour since I read TC’s essay. 😁
11th Circuit Court of Appeals spelled out our Rule of Law.
'To create a special exception here would defy our nation's foundation principle that our law applies 'to all, without regard to numbers, wealth or rank'.
'The appeals court decision singled out for particular scorn the notion of special treatment for former presidents. The court said that the case asked them to either “apply our usual test” or “carve out an unprecedented exception in our law for former presidents.” (TC)
“We choose the first option.”
'The appeals court was sharply critical of the decision in September by Judge Aileen M. Cannon, a Trump appointee, to intervene in the case. It said that Judge Cannon never had legitimate jurisdiction to order the review or bar investigators from using the files, and that there was no justification for treating Mr. Trump differently than any other target of a search warrant.'
“It is indeed extraordinary for a warrant to be executed at the home of a former president — but not in a way that affects our legal analysis or otherwise gives the judiciary license to interfere in an ongoing investigation,” the court wrote.
'Limits on when courts can interfere with a criminal investigation “apply no matter who the government is investigating,” it added. “To create a special exception here would defy our nation’s foundational principle that our law applies ‘to all, without regard to numbers, wealth, or rank.’” (TC)
The court spelled spelled out our Rule of Law, and it cannot be repeated often enough.
'To create a special exception here would defy our nation's foundation principle that our law applies 'to all, without regard to numbers, wealth or rank'.
what always amazed me about Cannon is that she got to be a judge in the first place...I would have thought that some demonstration of competence would be required for a lawyer to become a Federal judge. the operative phrase in that last sentence is, obviously, "would have thought." I guess she's a perfect example of why TFF was in such a hurry to appoint "his" judges. thing is, two of the Eleventh Circuit judges are judges he actually appointed. so not ALL of his appointments were the legal equivalent of those puddles of plastic puke we used to send for when we saw the ads on the back of S comic books. you know, the places that also peddled whoopee cushions and joy buzzers (which NEVER worked).
this is good news. the bad news is that Cannon won the miserable prick three months. I'd love to assume that the last few days of serial legal defeats presaged the whole edifice collapsing like the house of cards it's always been. but whenever I've assumed things like that....anyone here can finish the sentence.
Whelp, that was the mother of all bitch-slaps to both TFG and Loose Cannon. Pity they didn't read their opinion so we could hear the derision and contempt dripping off the carefully proper words.
I sure enjoyed reading your post today! Regarding the "special" references in this case, I'd be interested in knowing if Donald or members of his family have bought or married into some decadent royal family's herald. His wife is from Nova Mesto, Sovania, which maintains good relations with Russia. The national coat of arms of Slovenias Coat of Arms defines three stars that represent the Counts of Celje, Triglav mountain and Adriatic sea. Most of the territory of present-day Slovenia became a hereditary land of the Habsburg monarchy. When the current king of Europe (yes there is one) dies or resigns, there will be, and probably is right now, a mad scramble to determine the new king. And even if it's not officially recognized by European governments, you better believe some of the royalty in Europe (and Mexico) are serious about it and never give up.

Thank you TC.

Thanks for the clear analysis, TC. What a relief to read this---the rule of law still stands and foolishness stands revealed in bright daylight!
And it’s especially sweet that two of the judges were appointed by Trump. The third by Bush I believe. Imagine the outrage at Mar-a-Lago.
Delightful and soothing information. Thank you, TC.

I'm doing my happy dance!!! I will do a happy ballet when little donnie goes to the slammer.
Yippee , skippy do! The boat of Justice for all has missed the rocks and is sailing on. So , (as they say in my adopted county), SO VERY CHUFFED am I.
As succinct and to the point as the ruling itself. Thanks TC.
