⚖️ Judge Melissa Damian was clear about what she wanted from the DOJ. She did NOT ask for a breakdown of the law surrounding special circumstances or pages and pages of other court cases explaining the law. She wanted a direct response to the issue before her. And yet, that is EXACTLY what the DOJ handed her. More than half of the response focuses on the law surrounding special circumstances and other court cases to support 1903 Wright. This is specifically what the judge instructed them NOT to do. While the haters are celebrating that the DOJ responded, they’re overlooking two important details: The DOJ already needed an extension, and what they ultimately submitted was pages and pages of legal arguments and case breakdowns that the judge specifically wanted them to avoid. In hindsight, they could’ve submitted 12 pages directly addressing what the judge actually asked for. My grade: C+ Pages and pages of court case fillers. Specifically told them not to do it.
