[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Coming back to last night’s 11th circuit decision, for anyone who’s been kind of following this but is feeling a little lost about exactly what has happened or what the law is here, the decision is worth a reason.  It gives a very good summary of the factual and procedural history of this past of the case, and the legal analysis is very clear and well-written.  Setting aside the merits themselves, this is exactly how you want a judicial decision to be written, giving enough context to fully understand the issues but cleat and concise about the holdings.

And yes, it’s 29 pages, but those are judicial publication pages so they’re really short.

It’s fun to frame it that way, but what the 11th Circuit did was judicially prudent because it insulates the ultimate result against an argument by Trump later that DOJ actually did show callous disregard.  If your decision can be supported on four grounds, it’s much better to articulate all four so SCOTUS can’t just reverse and remand on one.

But I think there likely is also an element of the 11th Circuit wanting to fully lay out the correct analysis to avoid further gamesmanship by Cannon that forces the appellate court to take it up again when DOJ appeals an obviously wrong decision. [/quote]
