Please provide a link to the actual ruling, so people can read it. That would also allow readers to fact check your article, so we’d know it was the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit (federal court) not the D.C. Court of Appeals (local court) that made the ruling. @yuniorarivas.bsky.social

Thanks for updating the story. But does @democracydocket.com not put up correction notices when you get a fact wrong and then fix it? That’s troubling!

Just keep holding back the crimes until the midterms, when we’ll clean the traitors out of Congress and put an end to this insanity.

Let’s NEVER let Republicans use the “law and order” card again. Same goes for small government, fiscal responsibility, free speech and family values!
