DC Prosecutor Ed Martin Goes After Wikipedia For Exercising First Amendment Rights

2 weeks ago | abovethelaw.com | Liz Dye

Ed Martin, the improbable acting US Attorney for DC, is at it again. This time he’s menacing Wikipedia for the dastardly crime of not citing The Federalist as a reliable source, which is apparently a capital offense these days. As first reported by The Free Press, Martin sent one of his signature nastygrams to the Wikimedia Foundation.
At Harvey Weinstein's Re-Trial, #MeToo is Also on the Docket

2 weeks ago | airmail.news | Liz Dye

Harvey Weinstein’s re-emergence as a hero of the far right was probably inevitable. Before his convictions in New York and California for rape and sexual assault, the movie mogul was a prolific Democratic donor. “He was sort of the king of woke, right?,” Donald Trump said on a 2024 podcast with Dan Bongino, the current deputy director of the F.B.I. “I was so amazed that Harvey Weinstein got schlonged.”But now the “king of woke” is being embraced by conservatives as a victim of woke overreach.
Judge Lamberth Will Shank Anyone Who Touches The VOA

Fascism makes strange bedfellows. Especially when the fellows who refuse to get in bed with the fascists wind up bunking together. And so we find ourselves grateful to Judge Royce Lamberth for saving Voice of America from the depredations of the DOGE bros. First Judge Harvie Wilkinson, then Lamberth! Whodathunkit?
DOJ Scores Spectacular Own Goal In NY Congestion Pricing Case

2 weeks ago | abovethelaw.com | Liz Dye

Last night at roughly 9 p.m., thousands of very online lawyers had a sympathetic panic attack. The precipitating event was a litigation memo thoroughly rubbishing the Department of Transportation’s attack on New York’s congestion pricing plan which was inadvertently published on the public docket.
Trump Justice Department *Still* Trying To Grab E. Jean Carroll By The Process

3 weeks ago | dealbreaker.com | Liz Dye

On April 11, the Justice Department moved to substitute itself as defendant in the E. Jean Carroll defamation case. More than a year after a jury found President Trump liable for defamation and ordered him to pay the advice columnist $83 million, the government is trying to grab the case by the Westfall Act in on the theory that, when you’re the president, they let you do it. It’s an exceptionally weird turn of events, since we’ve already been here before.

Fourth Circuit To DOJ: Bro, Do You Even Law?

3 weeks ago | abovethelaw.com | Liz Dye

Reading the latest batcrap Justice Department filing in the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case is an exercise in confusion. Are they letting ChatGPT draft now? Are they really this ignorant about the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure? Are they assuming that the Supreme Court will bail them out in any event, so they just barf out nonsense and head to the bar? Okay, that last one is unfair.
DOJ Sues Maine For Aggravated Nice To Trans Kids

4 weeks ago | abovethelaw.com | Liz Dye

In February, President Trump summoned the nation’s governors to the White House for an airing of grievances. As usual, the tiny number of trans athletes topped the list. “Is Maine here?” he asked, before yelling at Governor Janet Mills for refusing to bench trans kids. “I’m complying with the state and federal laws,” she noted testily. “We are the federal law,” the wannabe dictator shot back furiously, before threatening to pull all federal funds from the state of Maine.
