[U: Schedule Set!] Several Crackpots Are Trying To File "Amicus" Briefs, In The Boston/Harvard v. Trump Matter -- But We still Expect Some Real, Meaningful News, Later Today...


It is increasingly common that hard-right crackpots, mostly not practicing lawyers at all (but occasionally, lawyers, too) file reams and reams of meaningless diatribe in prominent Trump related federal cases. This morning. . . is no exception. A guy from rural Mizzou tries to say that the Boston judges in federal court cannot hear any case related to Trump, under its own local federal rules. Huh. That's a new one. No, he possesses no legal training (and may not have even ever finished a college level US history course). Whatever, dude -- cool story.

[I think this is a would-be MAGA "strategy" -- to (hilariously and impotently, see video below) slow the courts down. How silly is that? The filings are generally denied and dumped the morning after they appear. Very much like... Goobs tee-peeing the Robinson Empire to bring it to its knees!] We will update the readership when something more meaningful, or news-worthy -- or even just more. . . interesting takes place in Boston:

. . .Electronic Clerk's Notes for proceedings held before Judge Allison D. Burroughs:

Status Conference held on 4/28/2025. Parties would like to go straight to summary judgment and have an agreed upon briefing schedule.

Administrative record by 5/19/25, Motion for SJ filed by 6/2/25, amicus briefs by 6/9/25, govt. opposition and cross motions by 6/16/25, amicus briefs 6/23/25, plaintiff's opposition/reply 6/30/25, govt. reply briefs 7/14/25. Hearing on the motion will be 7/21/25 at 9:30 a.m.

Related case will have until 5/5/25 to amend complaint and will follow the same briefing schedule.

Scheduling Order to issue. [More here, late afternoon, after initial status conference]. . .


Welp, there you have it. Now, go -- be excellent to one another. Onward. Harvard will win -- and win, resoundingly, here.
