So Judge Sullivan, back to our filing, gave Todd Blanch one more shot to respond.
And here we go.
It's about, I don't know, three and a half pages.
And listen, I wasn't that impressed with the lawyering and the mind of Stan Woodward to begin with, but I'm certainly not now.
This is what they say, and I'll give you the translation.
Page two.
Whereas the defendant's response to the order to show cause, that's the Trump side, set forth rational arguments, the plaintiff's response, that's Katie's side, is filled with hyperbolic rhetoric seeking to oppose punitive sanctions on the department for availing itself of the process the court afforded it.
No, the court told you either produce the documents or show cause
good faith basis, you know, supported by facts, usually by an affidavit, sworn testimony, why you couldn't produce it.
To this day, Todd Blanch and anybody in his Department of Justice refuses to provide sworn testimony to a judge.
If I were on the other side of that judge's order, I would have provided affidavits and declarations, but of course they didn't do it then, and they're not even doing it now.
We're just getting naked argument of counsel.
This is what they say.
The court has not ordered the immediate production of documents.
Rather, the court has ordered the department to show cause if it declines to do so.
They make it sound like it's just an offer, like an aspirational goal of the judge instead of a order by fiat of a federal judge on page two.
They say, and far from declaring that the department will not abide by a court order, the department, meaning the Department of Justice, has accepted the court's offer.
Oh, bully you.
You've accepted the court's offer.
That sounds fantastic.
