A federal judge in Manhattan ruled Monday that the Justice Department unlawfully fired Maurene Comey, James Comey's daughter and a career prosecutor with years of outstanding reviews. Judge Jesse Furman rejected 47's claim that line prosecutors can be fired at will, called the government's theory "sweeping and unprecedented," and awarded her back pay and retroactive reinstatement. DOJ says it will appeal.

With the prospect of a ReformUK led govt. after the next election (not a foregone conclusion, but neither an impossibility), we should heed Prof Mark Elliott's conclusion on the informality of the UK's constitution:
