So, not clear what this is or if it is in any way related to Cohen's postposed testimony.

President Trump apologizes to Kavanaugh: “You, sir, under historic scrutiny, were proven innocent.” All other nine justices are sitting in the front row.
EIGHT JUSTICES. SORRY.
Kavanaugh was not, of course, “proven innocent,” as it was not a trial.
me trying to track people down to talk for a story over a holiday weekend
Honestly, though, it’s seriously great to see the number of people who ARE responsive on a Sunday evening to talk about a ton of #lawdork issues. Thanks!
I know you all have been waiting to read a story tonight, so here it is!
JUST IN: Federal judge hearing the trans military ban case in DC dismisses Trump as a defendant "to avoid unnecessary constitutional confrontations." Notes, though, that "Plaintiffs—if successful—can still obtain all of the relief that they seek."
For non-lawyers, this is, for the most part, an in-the-weeds ruling that doesn't have much of an effect on things. It's just about whether Trump himself should be a named defendant in the case. Judge said no here.
