In DOJ's request to halt the kids' climate change trial ...
... in which Chief Justice Roberts granted a temporary stay and ordered a response on Friday ...
... the plaintiffs' in the kids' climate change case filed their opposition to DOJ this morning, citing CJ Roberts' recent speech about judicial independence and urging #SCOTUS to let the case proceed to trial: supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/18/1…
DOJ has filed its reply in support of its #SCOTUS request to halt the scheduled trial in the kids' climate change case, leaning all the way in on the idea that SCOTUS has to stop this now and not wait for a normal appeal post-trial. supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/18/1…

BREAKING: Supreme Court denies the foreign country-owned company's request to stay a contempt order resulting from its refusal to comply with a grand jury's subpoena. Chief Justice Roberts' "administrative stay" is vacated, so the result is the contempt order is back in effect.
That order of the court follows this request, made Monday but put on the docket today, to file a cert petition in the case under seal. Not clear what will happen with that now, but the contempt order (and associated fines) will now be back in place.
REDACTED DOCUMENT: Here's the redacted motion at SCOTUS, noted previously, of what appears to be the foreign-owned company seeking to file its petition for certiorari in the grand jury dispute under seal. documentcloud.org/documents/5677…

In the wake of yesterday's contentious hearing involving Concord in the Russian troll farm case, Concord's lawyers are STILL AT IT, in a new filing that could be one sentence and instead is four pages: documentcloud.org/documents/5677…
Here's @ZoeTillman on yesterday's hearing: buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
Concord's lawyers say that Judge Dabney Friedrich created "at a minimum an appearance of bias or prejudice in favor of the government" yesterday.

#SCOTUS, Jan. 8, 2019. With most of the sights in DC shut down, the Supreme Court is drawing a big crowd even for relatively low-profile cases.
It's a one-box Tuesday here at #SCOTUS, meaning one or two decisions in argued cases should be coming at 10a.
The first decision is Justice Kavanaugh's first majority opinion, in Henry Schein, Inc. v Archer & White Sales, Inc., vacating the 5th Circuit in an arbitration case. The decision was unanimous. #SCOTUS

CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS & ENTIRE FISA COURT WILL BE IMPEACHED

1) Speculation, but makes sense if you follow me.
Per Q 11/9/18:
A) How can arrests occur prior to removing the corruption from the DOJ & FBI?
>They can't. See THE PLAN below.
#QAnon #Sealedindictments
2) B) How can arrests occur prior to safely securing a majority in the SUPREME COURT [CONSTITUTION - RULE OF LAW]
>They can't. See THE PLAN below.
C) What is the role of the SENATE?
>To confirm appointments and to hold impeachment trials.
Role of GOODLATTE?
#QAnon #MAGA
3) >Chairman of House Judiciary Committee (Oversight of DOJ, FBI, Federal Judiciary… BUT ALSO MOST COMMONLY THE COMMITTEE WHERE IMPEACHMENT PROCEEDINGS IN THE HOUSE ORIGINATE).

Chief Justice Roberts: “I was saddened to learn that Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, like many Americans, faces the challenge of dementia. But I was not at all surprised that she used the occasion of sharing that fact to think of our country first,...” 1/
2/ “... and to urge an increased commitment to civics education, a cause to which she devoted so much of her time and indomitable energy. Justice O’Connor is of course a towering figure in the history of the United States and indeed the world...
3/“... She broke down barriers for women in the legal profession to the betterment of that profession and the country as a whole. She serves as a role model not only for girls and women, but for all those committed to equal justice under law...

Chief Justice Roberts bristled at Justice Sotomayor’s comparison of his #TravelBan decision to Korematsu. Why? Because the truth hurts.
And some ways, this decision is even more shameful: slate.com/news-and-polit…
Korematsu is dead, long live the new Korematsu:
slate.com/news-and-polit…
3/ “if Kennedy retires, his mixed legacy on civil liberties will end on a shameful note, denying voting rights and ignoring evidence of bad-faith religious discrimination. The majority seemed genuinely concerned with anti-religious bias in Masterpiece Cakeshop, but...”

Chief Justice Roberts, if you’re writing the decision in the Travel Ban case, you should know it will permanently define your Court. Read this on the govt’s sham waiver. Recall Japanese Internment and Solicitor Gen. Fahy, who had deceived the Court...1/ slate.com/news-and-polit…
2/ Solicitor General Noel Francisco has repeatedly misrepresented the facts of Trump’s animus towards Muslims and how the ban’s waiver process was just a sham, fraudulent “window dressing.”
slate.com/news-and-polit…
3/ Here’s SG Francisco’s earlier misrepresentation from oral argument. His “correction” a week later, three sentences, was so minimal that it shows how deliberately he was otherwise misleading the Court on Trump’s animus and how the ban actually worked.
