"Young said he never meant to run afoul of Supreme Court precedent, ... he 'simply did not understand that orders on the emergency docket were precedent,...[T]his court will absolutely obey and generously adhere to the precedential decisions of the Supreme Court,'" that's ... not an apology
He literally uses the word apologize in his statement though
It’s very, very sarcastic since shadow docket decisions typically don’t create precedent since they’re not usually supported by any opinion/reasoning to draw precedent from. So him saying he’s sorry he didn’t realize it was precedent is *snaps in a zig zag formation*
Yeah I like this interpretation and my first idea was how can you follow a decision with no reasoning.
Followed by the word "if"
should be the other way around ..
He said he was apologizing, and he said it in a straight forward, not sarcastic way. I wish audio recording was allowed in federal court because tone is lost in a story like this.
He's a better man than me. I would not have been so gracious.
"I really feel it's incumbent upon me to, on the record here, apologize to Justices Gorsuch and Kavanaugh if they think" no actual apology goes "I am forced to apologize, if" however the tone of voice is an actual apology goes "I apologize for xyz"
i believe he said it with sincerity. it wasn't an apology. it was a middle finger. i don't blame you for the straightforward reporting, but this was a legal middle finger.
As the kids say, the judge has clapped back
“I’m sorry if anything I did gave you the impression I was wrong.”
Young said the word apologize Followed by "if they think..." I don't doubt what you say about tone But the entire sentence is easily read as implying that if the justices really think that, they're not thinking clearly or fairly
"Wait, you were SERIOUS?" Also, the SC is hardly in a position to accuse anyone of ignoring precedent and court orders when they're constantly running interference for Trump to defy what's left of the courts. "Oh kettle, thou are black, the pot exclaims!"
to put it another way, he did in his own way what the dc circuit just did. "Show. Me. The. Reasoning."
"I really feel it's incumbent upon me to, on the record here, apologize to Justices Gorsuch and Kavanaugh if they think that anything this court has done has been done in defiance of a precedential action of the Supreme Court in the United States," he said.
yes and i'm sure there were actual tears
waiting for a judge to snark to SCOTUS: "you're "due process" precedent on immigrations lasted .. what four-six weeks?
I think he was making a point but he was also apologizing. Both can be true and saying otherwise is at best silly.
I apologize for not approaching the situation with sufficient gravity.
Should we argue now about whether that’s an apology?
this man is NOT sorry. (nor should he be.)
I almost feel his sentence was written in Sarcasm font.
To be fair part of that is knowing judge young (his writing not personally) he is entirely out of fucks
This is comforting to hear, because while I was inferring that his statement was fuck-lacking, I don't know his style, and was chagrined at the thought he might have actually been kowtowing.
