The opinion, authored by one of the three judges on the panel, Neomi J. Rao, "Thoroughly demolishes" a dissenting opinion by Judge Robert Wilkins - who Reeves thinks was so off-base that he "Shot himself in the foot" when it comes to any chance of an 'en-banc review' in which the Flynn decision would be kicked back for a full review by the DC appellate court.
1) Judge Rao's opinion-joined by Judge Henderson-granting Flynn mandamus is outstanding not only for its legal reasoning, but also for how it COMPLETELY EVISCERATES Judge Wilkins' dissenting opinion.
Judge Wilkins' dissenting opinion is so off-the-mark that I believe he has shot himself in the foot for purposes of en banc review-in other words, he has ensured that otherwise-sympathetic judges on the DC Circuit will vote against en banc review.
Judge Rao saves her most stinging and brutal takedown of Judge Wilkins' dissent for the end....(cont).
In other words, Judge Rao is likening Judge Wilkins' arguments, and Judge Sullivan's actions, to what is done in non-democratic, third world countries.
Hours after the US Court of Appeals for DC ordered Judge Emmett Sullivan to grant the DOJ's request to drop the case, the retired 'resistance' judge hired to defend Sullivan's actions has filed a motion requesting an extension to file his findings against Flynn.
