Nice roundup of the courts pushing back against DOJ/trump regime legal outrages, but here is the key takeaway: "[...] even if ultimate accountability to the rule of law continues to be slow in coming...[...]".
Indeed, and "slow in coming" is doing a heavy lift here, as nothing as yet has deterred DOJ from continuing to degrade and traduce courtroom procedures, and — yes, "presumption of regularity" is a dead letter...in fact, its direct opposite is the rule of the day when govt. lawyers enter the room.
One additional note from a grammatical Nazi's keen eye: From RI District Judge McElroy's cited opinion, we read this — "...did so in an obvious effort to shield IT'S (my emphasis) recent investigation...".
No-no-no, the possessive of IT is ITS, no apostrophe, please!

Courageous. Thank you.
Thank you David for the update on court and judges holding onto the tenets of the rules of law and our Constitution. Beating back the injustice dept
has become a 24/7 job.
I guess too little too late for these judges is a little better than nothing.
