Yet another federal judge, this time in Maryland, has rejected the Trump administration's effort to get litigation challenging a citizenship question in the 2020 Census tossed out — motion to dismiss denied
assets.documentcloud.org/documents/5032…
Judge: "Plaintiffs state a plausible claim that Defendants’ decision to reintroduce the citizenship question on the 2020 Census was motivated by discriminatory animus and will result in an adverse effect on immigrants of color" assets.documentcloud.org/documents/5032…
This are multiple lawsuits out there challenging the citizenship Q on the 2020 Census, this is one of three (that I'm aware of) filed in Maryland alone. A trial in SDNY began this week after #SCOTUS declined to stop it from happening buzzfeednews.com/article/chrisg…

NEW: The federal judiciary now expects to have enough money from other sources to keep the courts largely business-as-usual during the shutdown through Jan. 18 (previously it was Jan. 11) — this is the latest from the Administrative Office of the US Courts (HT @hsu_spencer)
In order to make the funds that the judiciary does have (absent a congressional appropriation) last as long as possible, "courts have been asked to delay or defer non-mission critical expenses, such as new hires, non-case related travel, and certain contracts"
DOJ, of course, is already affected by the shutdown, so most judges have been approving requests or issuing blanket orders to delay civil litigation involving the federal govt during the shutodwn (criminal cases still have to proceed as usual)

Some fireworks in court this morning as a judge criticized the lawyer representing Concord Management & Consulting in the special counsel Russian troll farm case for his language and harsh words about Mueller's office in filings — "unprofessional, inappropriate, and ineffective"
The judge told attorney Eric Dubelier that his strategy was "ineffective" and that his approach to filings — including pop culture quotes (see: assets.documentcloud.org/documents/5676…) and accusing Mueller's office basically of lawlessness — was "undermining your credibility in this courthouse"
"Knock it off," Judge Dabney Friedrich told Dubelier. This then led to a heated exchange where Dubelier said he needed to consult his client since the judge had accused of unprofessional conduct, and now there might be bias from the judge. There's no bias, the judge replied.

Remember how prosecutors accused Paul Manafort of breaching his plea deal? His lawyers are due to file a response today about that — recall that at a Dec. 11 hearing, Manafort's lawyers said they needed more time to decide if they agreed or not with the govt's claims re: lying
There's no time deadline on this filing due today from Manafort's lawyer, so it could come at any time before midnight, which is always fun
For a refresher on what prosecutors accused Manafort of lying about after he signed his plea deal and was supposed to be cooperating with the government (including allegations that he lied about contacts with Trump admin officials): buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…

NEW: The Trump administration must release more internal documents for #2020census citizenship question lawsuits that @TheJusticeDept attorneys had withheld because of deliberative process privilege, U.S. District Judge Jesse Furman orders.👇
2. From Judge Furman’s opinion: These documents about #2020census citizenship Q “are not protected by the deliberative process privilege because they merely ‘reflect deliberations about what “message” should be delivered to the public about an already-decided policy decision.’ “
3. And don’t forget it👇

1) I ABSOLUTELY STAND BY MY POST IN THE PRESIDENTIAL THREAD!



WOW JUST WOW! Our President, Stephen Miller and his team have played this Paul Ryan Immigration (Amnesty) Bill perfectly. Paul Ryan will resign at some point next week. He tried to play our
2) President and House Republicans. There is a reason for what he did. Many have forgotten that the EXECUTIONER (Judge Hanen) is about to rule on whether DACA was constitutional when BHO enforced it in 2012. Remember he KILLED DAPA.

I found the tweet below a week or so ago and

1. Liberals are not in the habit of expressing gratitude for the five conservative justices on the US Supreme Court, especially since one of them, Justice Neil Gorsuch, presides where some liberals believe President Obama’s nominee should rightly be.
2. But liberals should be grateful, at least this week, in the wake of a ruling that struck down a federal anti-gambling law, because the decision strengthens blue-state resistant to President Trump.
3. Moreover, it might deepen appreciation for something liberals historically dislike: federalism and the doctrine of state’s rights.
