BREAKING: Judge Furman skewers @TheJusticeDept's "latest and strangest effort" to "halt the orderly progress of this litigation," in their flurry of attempts to pause the #2020census case.

Here's how the latest benchslap begins.
"What makes the motion most puzzling, if not sanctionable, is that they sought and were denied virtually the same relief only weeks ago — from this Court, from the Second Circuit, and from the Supreme Court itself."

A Sisyphean effort, Furman suggests in passage below.
Furman notes the DOJ didn't allege harm in letting the trial run its course.

"That is for good reason, as the notion that they — or anyone else — would suffer 'irreparable harm' without a stay is laughable," he wrote.

Furman: DOJ's trying to run out the clock until the surveys are printed.

"Defendants’ motion makes so little sense, even on its own terms, that it is hard to understand as anything but an attempt to avoid a timely decision on the merits altogether."
Shortly after dissing DOJ with a Camus reference, Furman goes Shakespearean in a footnote.

Lesson: If you try a federal judge's patience, prepare for literary put-downs.
In conclusion:

"Enough is enough."

Hard to remember a federal ruling drubbing the government like this.
