Three months ago tonight, I announced that I was going to be starting a newsletter. Just hours shy of the three-month mark from my first subscriber, I passed 3,000 subscribers to @lawdorknews earlier today. lawdork.com
I am so grateful for the response that I’ve received to the return of Law Dork. The subscribers — including those of you who’ve become paid subscribers! — the kind things people have said about the newsletter, and the love & help of my family and friends. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!
It’s truly humbling to see this working. I love being able to dive into the stories that I think are important and report on them and write about them in the way that I think is necessary. I know that I’m so privileged to be able to do it, and I’m grateful for it every day.
As we head into the fall and the new #SCOTUS term, not to mention the midterms and whatever Biden and Trump do, I’ll have much more to cover and do. I look forward to it — and to trying new things at @lawdorknews! If you’ve not yet subscribed, join us! lawdork.com

There it is. DOJ got both things it asked for at the 11th Circuit (and from a two Trump-judge panel): not needing to turn over the documents with classification markings for the special master’s review and allowing them to use those ~100 documents in the criminal investigation.
The question now is if Trump’s team will try to take that to #SCOTUS, technically, asking the justices to vacate the stay just entered by the 11th Circuit.
The “Factual Background” section is worth a read for how damning it is—even when presented by a three-judge panel that includes Brasher! This is not some miracle of ~objective~ judging from the 11th Circuit so much as it is damning of Cannon’s actions in the case. Three examples: On that date, Plaintiff ask...Plaintiff sought (and recei...Based on this evidence, the...

Biden is failing on his campaign promise to “eliminate the death penalty.”

In fact, Merrick Garland is doing the opposite — trying to add to death row.

New at @lawdorknews: lawdork.com/p/the-biden-ad…
“[T]he Attorney General has decided to continue to seek the death penalty” in the case of Sayfullo Saipov, the man accused in the October 2017 deadly terror attack along a bike path in Manhattan. The court and Saipov were informed on Friday. lawdork.com/p/the-biden-ad… Image of DOJ filing described in the tweet.
During his campaign, however, Biden pledged to “eliminate the death penalty,” holding out that such individuals should instead serve life without the possibility of parole. lawdork.com/p/the-biden-ad… “Eliminate the death penalty. Over 160 individuals who’v

BREAKING: Judge Aileen Cannon denies DOJ's motion for a partial stay as to documents with classified markings seized in the Mar-a-Lago search, appoints Sr. Judge Raymond Dearie as special master to review all materials seized in investigation of Trump. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
In the appointment order, Cannon directs Dearie "to conclude his review and classifications by November 30, 2022, subject to modification if necessary as proposed by the Special Master." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
Cannon's response to the interrelated nature of the national security assessment and criminal investigation is nearly gibberish. The Government’s submissions, read collectively, do not fi

US Attorney Rachael Rollins, announcing today's arrest for a bomb threat against Boston Children's Hospital, which has been the focus of anti-transgender attacks from Libs of Tik Tok and others for more than a month.

BREAKING: #SCOTUS denies a stay to Yeshiva University in its fight over recognizing an LGBTQ club, with the 5-4 majority saying the school should seek relief from NY state courts first. A trial court judge in NY has ordered the school recognize the club.
Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Kavanaugh joined the Democratic appointees in denying the school's request to stay the NY trial court's order. Justices Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, and Barrett dissent.
The decision lifts the temporary stay issued by Justice Sotomayor last Friday, meaning the school will have to recognize the club under the current state court order. Here was my thread from Friday:

In other words, he was ... the president ... when he went to vote on Election Day. I'm so tired.
The word "employed" is doing more work there than the staff involved in getting Biden to and from Delaware did.
"Why did the president vote? An investigation."
