If nothing else, it should be clear that something is up when Millett (Obama) and Garcia (Biden) are the majority and Rao (Trump) writes a 12-page dissent to a remand.

Notably, the panel even says that the additional stay time gives DOJ the option to even take *this* ruling to the Supreme Court, which honestly they might! (Which, in and of itself, shows clearly enough that everyone should understand this as a bad ruling for the administration.)

It doesn't seem accurate for that Trump judge to assert that the nonprofit congressional nonprofit organization is "one individual" to me.

Rao’s arms must be tired from carrying all that water for Trump. Case after case after case.

Also: Rao's statutory interpretation section — what she does with the word "improvement" at pages 8-10 — is embarrassing.

I truly kept thinking of my legislation professor and wincing. She would not be OK with this!

That expansionist reading of 3 USC 501 is pure Rao.

Nothing desparate about her opinion. She's a true believer in Trumpism and authoritarianism.

Have you found anything that explains how Rao keeps being assigned to the motions panel? The odds of it happening so consistently for so long are staggering.
