First, the well-argued motion for a preliminary injunction to extend the TRO protecting unlawfully barred (and then separated from their families) would-be asylees was filed in San Francisco, overnight (backgrounder). It is a very good thirty page read ("turn it. . . UP", says Shawshank's Andy Dufrain!). As if we needed any proof of this proposition, it does make clear that 45 and his marginally competent lawyers understand very little about how US law is actually made, and amended -- here.
Or. . . less charitably, it could be that they are just prone to "make sh!t up" -- as they go along, and hope no one will notice. [Welp, I'd say it's too late for that.]
Separately, in San Diego, the briefing schedule on (among other matters) whether the legal guardians (backgrounder) will be included in the class -- and whether all people wrongly separated will be included (not just ones on an arbitrary cut-in date deadline), under the agreed relief -- is now on file, as an order -- thus:
. . . .The Court sets the following briefing schedule: Plaintiffs shall file their opening brief on or before December 14, 2018. Defendants shall file their responsive brief on or before December 28, 2018. Plaintiffs shall file their reply brief on or before January 4, 2019. Counsel shall file further status reports on or before December 12, 2018. A further status conference shall be held on December 14, 2018, at 1:00 p.m. Signed by Judge Dana M. Sabraw. . .
Updated: It seems team 45's lawyers have filed a notice of appeal, to the Ninth Circuit, in the Flores case -- trying (vainly, to be certain) to stop the similar and overlapping remedies entered in Los Angeles, by the able USDC Judge Dolly Gee. SO that's three for three.
Now you know; looking forward to baby-sitting (for "Hamilton", tonight), again -- with soft flakes wheeling overhead. Smile. . . .
