Chad Readler And Sarah Fabian Object To A RETIRED US Judge Acting As Special Master In Flores... Preposterous!

Well, I know Trump's highly political appointees at the office of Assistant Attorney General level (Immigration Section) are pedantic, but this is beyond the pale, even for these hyper-partisan knuckleheads. Exactly one week ago, I mentioned that a very able special master would likely be appointed, in the ongoing Flores reunification efforts (in both LA and San Diego) -- and I still think the able retired Judge Carol King will be so appointed.

You see, her role will be to find factual matters, and resolve documentary disputes. Of course, Mr. Readler and Ms. Fabian (the Trump lawyer who tried unsuccessfully to use dog-sitting as an excuse -- rather than work to resolve little children being held in cages over a recent Summer weekend) well know the government documents paint them, and Mr. Trump in a very poor light. From a legal point of view, the facts are damning -- that is true. But to now object to the special master because she is likely to call a "lie" a lie. . . is ridiculous. [And she may immediately tour (with assistance from the US Marshals) any facility she needs to, if the conditions inside a detention facility are in question.] And I get why that might be frightening to Ms. Fabian.

In any evnet, here is the nonsense -- and a bit:

. . . .Defendants respectfully object to the appointment of former immigration judge (“IJ”) Carol King as the Flores independent monitor. As an initial matter, while Defendants agree that former IJ King has significant experience with immigration law, Defendants object because former IJ King appears to have little or no direct experience with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) or U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (“ICE”) holding and detention facilities. . . .

In sum, they know they are cooked -- and they are simply stalling. The able Judge Gee (I predict) will shortly appoint Judge (Ret.) King. Onward. And spare us the dramatics, Ms. Fabian and Mr. Readler. Facts are not partisan. Doing bad things, as a matter of fact -- results in legal consequences.
