RedState's "Shipwreckedcrew:" Based on the Oral Arguments, Flynn Will Win In His Motion

I don't think he's right-- I think the DC Circuit Court it is going to protect its lunatic incompetent from public embarassment -- but he thinks that Powell/Flynn will win.

I think he's being very, very optimistic about that.

He adds that one judge -- an Obama appointee, of course -- decided to inject 300 cc's of racial poison into the hearing. For no reason, other than to say, "How dare we rebuke a black judge when George Floyd is dead."

One final note -- I thought it was disgraceful of Judge Wilkins to introduce, and then return multiple times, to a hypothetical question he posed to Dep. SG Wall about a situation where DOJ might move to dismiss a prosecution of a white police officer charged with beating a black suspect, where the motive for the dismissal might be the racist belief that a white officer should not have to face charges for beating a black suspect.

The hypothetical was inapposite and not on point at all with any question before the Circuit Court, and Dep. SG Wall dealt with it relatively effectively given that I'm sure he was surprised by the hypothetical as stated.

But for Judge Wilkins, and African-American Judge appointed by Pres. Obama, to suggest such an incendiary example in the argument on a case that has NO issues of racial bias or police misconduct borders on race-baiting of the worst kind.

Indeed.
