The above Order of the Court, a mere 6 pages in length, was issued on January 23, 2020. United States Circuit Judge Frank Easterbrook wrote for a unanimous panel, joined by United States Circuit Judge David Hamilton and Senior United States Circuit Judge William Bauer.
Basically, Judge Easterbrook tore Attorney General Barr a new ■■■■■■■■ In no uncertain terms.
Read all 6 pages of the decision. I cannot make things any clearer than Judge Easterbrook himself did. I agree fully with the decision, the tone of the decision and the reasoning behind the decision.
Attorney General Barr tried to outright defy the Article III Judiciary. Metaphorically, Judge Easterbrook delivered a right hook and knocked Barr out cold. Basically, he dealt with Barr in the only way that will get Barr’s attention.
We’re coming to the point of the president ignoring a Supreme Court ruling. But for a tearful plea from Condi Rice, it would have already happened in like 2006. Republicans will cheer when it does.
What happened next beggars belief. The Board of Immigration Appeals wrote, on the basis of a footnote in a le]er
the A]orney General issued after our opinion, that our decision is incorrect.
This doesn’t beggar belief at all. This is the way things are now.
We have never before encountered defiance of a remand
order, and we hope never to see it again.
Hmmm what would contempt entail and is this Judge providing the parties to now ask the Judges to consider contempt?
Members of the Board must count themselves lucky that Baez-Sanchez has not asked us to hold them in contempt, with all the consequences that possibility entails.
undocumented immigrant subject to deportation for committing a crime
guy applies for a special waiver to stay
immigration judge grants the waiver
board of immigration appeals revokes teh waiver saying only Barr can grant it
guy appeals to the 7th circuit witch disagreed with the board and remanded the case, ordering them to comply with the waiver.
They board refused…
teh judge,a very conservative judge,who justice scalia though would make a good replacement for himself issued an opinion ripping into trumps board of review sayng teh board is lucky the immigrant didnt ask for a contempt citation…
his exact words…
“We have never before encountered defiance of a remand order, and we hope never to see it again,” “Members of the Board must count themselves lucky that Baez-Sanchez has not asked us to hold them in contempt, with all the consequences that possibility entails.”
