Speaking of additional cases, the battle between Judge David Ezra and his attempt to actually administer the law, and the Fifth's obvious interest in promoting Republican extremism was in full display the last few days.
First of all the en banc grant on the PI granted the US was telling. Then, Judge Ezra decided to continue the merits case. Texas just played the worst BS games, and broke all protocol demanding, yes demanding, that Ezra stay any and all proceedings while the en banc appeal of the PI was in play. Texas did not give Ezra time to respond or the US, but immediately appealed a decision not even made yet to the Fifth...and the Fifth granted it.
I don't know if you're interested in any of the Texas lawsuits, but the breakdown in the courts, the lawlessness of the Fifth's actions...As Pluribus noted: what's happening in Texas is actually more important than the Presidential campaigns.
Judge Ezra's recent filings puts on display the strain between the district courts and the Fifth and politicization of the Fifth. Not sure if the US will go to SCOTUS Monday on this latest. But SCOTUS needs to send a message to the Fifth, and one that's more compelling than the message sent this week.
Anyway, this an aside. Apologies for cluttering your comments.
