WHOO BOY: In an order filed last night, Judge James Hendrix–the judge in Texas presiding over latest Alien Enemies Act case which prompted unprecedented intervention by SCOTUS–accused ACLU atty of violating federal code of conduct rules by calling his chambers AFTER Hendrix denied the 1st emergency temp restraining order on April 17.
This was noted on the docket after Hendrix filed his order. Now it makes me wonder if Lee Gelernt did not do exactly the same thing with Judge Jeb Boasberg–which could explain Boasberg’s quick action on March 15.
This is not allowed:
Here is the voicemail from Gelernt.
What are the chances he left the same message with Boasberg in the wee hours of March 15? In fact (and I will look at transcript), I believe Boasberg admitted to being “in communication” with ACLU prior to issuing any order or setting hearings.
Hendrix denied the emergency motion bc Trump adm said the 2 anonymous Venezuelan illegals cited in the lawsuit would not be removed. But–just like in the Boasberg case–that was not enough.
ACLU was demanding the case be converted into a class action suit covering ANYONE in the jurisdiction that might be subject to the Alien Enemies Act–which is what Boasberg did before his “return the planes” stunt.
ACLU was hoping for same outcome here. Hendrix was not playing their game. Even so, he was advancing the suit on Good Friday–but that wasn’t good enough for ACLU, which is used to running roughshod over the courts.
They immediately appealed, taking the matter out of Hendrix’s hands. Then they cried to SCOTUS, who bailed ACLU (and the illegals) out.
SCOTUS just got involved in what looks like a very dirty case from the start. Good to see at least one judge stand up for himself and for the process.
Judge Hendrix had to admonish ACLU twice in one day about not following the rules.
Watch today–the judge sadly will become villain number one in the media. Just like Aileen Cannon.
In light of federal judge’s accusations of misconduct by ACLU attorney in Alien Enemies Act lawsuit in Texas, let’s see what Judge Boasberg had to say about his contact with same lawyer on March 15 in 1st AEA case:
How was Boasberg “alerted” at 7:25am? Did Lee Gelernt, the same atty in Texas case, also leave a similar voicemail for Boasberg after filing the lawsuit?
Note Boasberg’s shifting explanations as to how he got the case (his order on the right). How did he “connect” with ACLU that morning right before entering his 1st temp restraining order banning the removal of 5 unnamed Venezuelans?
The ACLU just another aid to the leftists Bottom Feeders forcing t heir radical ideas upon us all
ACLU has been UNIPARTY’s legal “Storm Trooperd” for 75 years!
Like Jarheads they are: smart, mean and tough!
“The only “dumb” jarhead is a dead jarhead”. War is Hell!
had many buddies die for JFK; some were not dumb! 29 of the 58 that got orders at Pendleton when I did were not walking around 15 months later! For the math challenged half of us died!
ps
Sometimes my wife thinks Im dead.
im nor dead!
