@ProfMJCleveland I got this same question from FoiaFan (@15poundstogo) also:

FYI: @Techno_Fog

@ProfMJCleveland @15poundstogo @Techno_Fog Here's what the form looks like:

drive.google.com/file/d/1AL83UU…
@ProfMJCleveland @15poundstogo @Techno_Fog So in this case it could be new charges or it could be a hearing on a violation of release conditions, or it could simply be that the clerk issued a summons that he's required to appear at the hearing coming up that the judge set for the discovery issues, tho that's less likely.
@ProfMJCleveland @15poundstogo @Techno_Fog It is kind of odd to see it just sitting there by itself at the end of the docket. It maybe wasn't meant to be on the public side of the docket yet. Now that it is, it's not like the clerk's going to pull it back!🤣(Famous last words, watch them do exactly that!) @shipwreckedcrew
@ProfMJCleveland @15poundstogo @Techno_Fog @shipwreckedcrew So they didn’t pull it back, but they corrected it to say the process issued was a subpoena, not a summons.
@ProfMJCleveland @15poundstogo @Techno_Fog @shipwreckedcrew I explain a bit about that here:

What's interesting about this, legally, is that the Speech & Debate Clause protects members of Congress from being questioned about their views/positions/etc. "in any other Place," meaning they can't be questioned by police or other executive branch actors or in the courts.
/1
The clause applies to materials prepared for use in the legislative branch too, but not to materials produced for other purposes, say for example, a newsletter. So, you could sue a congressman for defaming you on Twitter for example. The clause is a separation of powers tool. /2
This is one of the constitutional elements that prevent the courts from shutting down congressional investigations, for instance. And why the courts apply a very broad interpretation of the "legislative purpose" test when evaluating claims to quash congressional subpoenas. /3

Using Reagan’s nomination of O’Connor to justify the affirmative action that Biden is currently engaging in is nonsense.

Until Reagan nominated her, women - of all colors - had been deliberately prevented from attaining the credentials necessary to sit on the Court by sexism. /1
O’Connor & Ginsberg & their peers were the first generation of women to be - reluctantly - allowed to attain them. The current generation of women nominees did not face that barrier. They are around my age - early 50s. My class (‘96) was the 1st at Gtown to be 50% women. /2
We were not (& younger women are not now) deliberately prevented from becoming lawyers, judges, or Justices as were women in the past.

In reality, women - of any color - have not been deliberately prevented from becoming Justices since the day O’Connor was nominated. /3

For those interested in Carter Page's case, our team filed 2 Oppositions to the 9 Motions to Dismiss that were filed by the Defendants. One, an "Omnibus" Opposition covers the arguments made by the 8 Individual Defendants, & one responds to the Govt's motion. Links follow:

1/4
We sued 8 individuals: Comey, McCabe, Clinesmith, Strzok, L.Page, Pientka, Somma, Auten.

Link to Opposition to Motion to Dismiss filed by the Individuals:

Because of the technical way some statutory claims are brought, we sued the Govt via 3 named entities: the United States, the FBI, & the DOJ.

On our mini trip last week, we were in Charlottesville, Va. As I usually do when we travel, I searched for the graves of Revolutionary War soldiers. We found a wonderful little family burying ground w/the graves of two brothers who had fought together & survived the war./1
I was delighted to see that their graves had been marked with wreaths & flags for Christmas. I think it is important to keep up the traditions of honoring these men, who risked all, so that freedom could take hold in this land. /2
Besides their Revolutionary War service recognition, their gravestones were especially poignant in other ways too. When I get the photos in better shape, I’ll add a tweet about that too. /3

We are already dangerously close to having secret juries. Many places the papers showing the identities of the jury are provided to the lawyers only for jury selection & then they must be surrendered back to the jury commissioner. If the defense lawyer doesn’t hand write . . .
. down all the info for the whole panel (sometimes 100s of people) then after the jury is sworn in, even the defendant’s lawyers may not know who they are. How can the defense figure out juror misconduct in that situation? How could the public figure out any such misconduct. . .
. or the press either? Especially if the press is precluded by the court from even watching the jurors outside of the courthouse or from watching them potentially online - because no one knows who they are? We are losing a significant check on the power of the govt if we . . .
