#TimWu: "Tuesday’s ruling is clearly wrong on the merits. The government charged that #Meta, then called Facebook, broke the law when it bought up its competitors Instagram and WhatsApp in 2012 and 2014. Judge #Boasberg threw out the case by concluding that Meta lacks #monopolypower now, when the relevant question should have been whether it had monopoly power at the time."

While #PamBondi has yet to actually specify what “improper public comments” #Boasberg made to elicit such an attack, both her chief of staff & the right-wing #FederalistSociety have reported that this huge, inappropriate mistake Boasberg made was simply expressing his (valid!) concern that the #Trump admin was liable to “disregard rulings of federal courts leading to a #ConstitutionalCrisis,” while at a judicial conference.

Crazy
At the end of the #House #Judiciary reconciliation bill, there are 2 major restrictions on the judiciary & #litigation:
First, as noted above, it bans judges from enforcing #contempt unless there was an FRCP 65(c) bond (rare in #CivilRights suits). Obviously aimed to stop Judges like #Boasberg & #Xinis, among others.
Second, they would bar money damages in settlements. [see pic]

In the announcement Mon, the #Trump admin again criticized Judge #Boasberg. “We would have already removed these violent gang members to Chile to face justice were it not for the nationwide injunction imposed by a single judge,” said #ToddBlanche, the deputy AG & Trump fmr #criminal defense atty who lost the falsified business records to hide Trump’s #HushMoney payment to #StormyDaniels before the 2016 election. Blanche added, “We hope common sense & justice will prevail.”
