[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]👀 Judge Sullivan hires high powered attorney - the one who represented Kavanaugh in his confirmation battle - to argue his case for not immediately tossing Flynn guilty plea.

He's not appearing to be the neutral arbiter that judges are supposed to be at this point.  [/quote]

Hiring a lawyer isn't partisan.  What do you see as not a neutral arbiter?[/quote]

DP--being a judge is his job.  Why does he need to hire a lawyer to argue his position with the appeals court?  This is just weird.  He chose the position--he should be able to defend it.  
Maybe, this is not to argue for him, but for some other legal problem he may have.[/quote]

Is it against the rules? No? Then what is the problem?[/quote]

Maybe not against the rules.  Maybe it is.  That is up to the appeals court to determine.

WapPo in article today:
"A federal judge doesn’t typically hire private counsel to respond to an appeals court"

He is essentially a participant in this case now.  Perhaps it's time for a new judge.  [/quote]
