Apparently disagreeing with the president’s politics is an illegal situation. Just so we're clear about the folks the President is amplifying today.

Given that the real crime in “Obamagate” is that we had the nerve to elect a black president, it’s not surprising that you are jumping into this one with both feet. Project much? FYI - this is what projection looks like...

If one were to view Trump's presidency in basketball coaching terms, his tenure would combine the lasciviousness of Rick Pitino, the corruption of Sean Miller, the nepotism of Jim Boeheim, the indifference to know-how of Chris Mullin, the pettiness of Mike Krzyzewski, the belligerence of Bob Knight, and the incompetence of Dave Leitao.
Shouldn't we hold the president to a higher standard than Pat Ewing who has been criticized and second-guessed from the moment he was announced as the Hoyas men's basketball coach?

Heidi and Dennis Hodges were proud to vote for President Donald Trump in 2016. “I liked his tough stance. I liked that he wasn’t a politician,” says Dennis, who runs a window-tinting company in Erie, Penn. “I supported him for three and a half years,” says Heidi, who manages the office of an auto service shop. Then came the coronavirus crisis. For Dennis, the last straw was seeing Trump downplay the seriousness of COVID-19, even as troubling reports about the disease emerged from China. “Before the pandemic, Trump would have gotten my vote again,” he says. “Business was booming, the economy was good, it looked like everything was turned around.” Yet there is also little question that the pandemic has transformed the election. Two months ago, Trump was an incumbent president riding a strong economy and a massive cash advantage; today, he looks like an underdog in November. The RealClearPolitics polling average has former Vice President Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic nominee, leading Trump 48.3% to 42% nationally. Trump’s prospects aren’t any brighter right now when broken down by states that were key to his 2016 victory. According to Real Clear Politics polling averages, Biden leads Trump by 6.7 points in Pennsylvania, 5.5 in Michigan, and 2.7 points in Wisconsin. Biden is also leading Trump narrowly in Florida and Arizona. time.com/5829244/trump-voters-coronavirus-2020/The most startling shift, though, is among voters age 65 and older. Four years ago, Trump bested Hillary Clinton by 13 points, 55 percent to 42 percent, according to the Cooperative Congressional Election Study, a survey of more than 60,000 voters organized by Harvard University and administered by YouGov. But now Biden narrowly leads Trump 48 percent to 47 percent, based on an average of 48 national polls that included that age group.1 If those figures hold until November, they would represent a seismic shift in the voting behavior of America’s oldest voters. fivethirtyeight.com/features/are-older-voters-turning-away-from-trump/

If me and a bunch of my former DOJ colleagues figured a writ of mandamus would be in the offing, I have to assume Judge Sullivan and his law clerk knew it also and is prepared to respond. Attorneys representing former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn asked a federal appellate court to remove the judge presiding over the case at the district court level and to immediately grant the Justice Department’s motion to dismiss the criminal charge against Flynn. lawandcrime.com/high-profile/michael-flynns-lawyers-ask-appellate-court-to-remove-judge/?fbclid=IwAR0m3bL2RhbUiHLJyttlq8gPXFO2OafYdKVwdMctjZuvN7HgeoHQz1wt1OoMandamus is an extraordinary remedy, which should only be used in exceptional circumstances of peculiar emergency or public importance. LaBuy v. Howes Leather Co., 352 U.S. 249 (1957); United States v. McGarr, 461 F.2d 1 (7th Cir. 1972). The All Writs Act, 28 U.S.C. § 1651(a), confers the power of mandamus on federal appellate courts. LaBuy v. Howes Leather Co., supra. Mandamus may be appropriately issued to confine an inferior court to a lawful exercise of prescribed jurisdiction, or when there is an usurpation of judicial power. See Schlagenhauf v. Holder, 379 U.S. 104 (1964). Mandamus may be employed to require a lower court to enforce the judgment of an appellate court, or to keep such a court from interposing unauthorized obstructions to the enforcement of the judgment of a higher court. See United States v. District Court, 334 U.S. 258, 263 (1948) (to enforce obedience to court of appeals mandate). Where the right was clear and indisputable, mandamus issued to compel a lower court to release a boat under an assertion of the immunity of a foreign sovereign. Spacil v. Crowe, 489 F.2d 614 (5th Cir. 1974). It has been utilized to compel the issuance of a bench warrant. Ex parte United States, 287 U.S. 241, 248 (1932). www.justice.gov/jm/civil-resource-manual-215-mandamus

It's the Trump cultists elderly (see e.g., the Villages in Florida) who aren't wearing masks and engaging in appropriate social distancing who may not be around. Maybe they can also do hydroxychloroquine shots at Happy Hour? Darwin Awards for all of them.

Yesterday, Judge Sullivan issued an order in the Flynn sentencing setting a briefing schedule for the filing of briefs so the DOJ Alumni will seek leave to file our brief this afternoon.
Consideration is underway as to whether to file an amicus brief in the D.C. Circuit opposing Flynn's motion for a writ of mandamus. Things are moving quickly but in any event you can bet your mortgage that there will be rounds of appeals regardless of the outcome(s).

Hey, Trump cultists, you'd better head to OAN. The president’s overall approval rating stands at 42 percent approval and 53 percent disapproval, down slightly from a month ago. The president’s approval on steering the federal response to the coronavirus stands at 41 percent this month, down five points from April. Disapproval jumped five points, to 56 percent. And by a 16-point margin – 55 to 39 percent – voters say they think Biden would do a better job than the president handling the coronavirus response. The Biden campaign touted that number on Twitter. www.foxnews.com/politics/as-presidents-coronavirus-approval-drops-bidens-lead-over-trump-grows-poll
