2. You can feel how pissed off he is from here......

3. I'm so glad I paid the $29

for a year's subscription to the WaPo! I don't hit the pay wall any more! And there is so much good writing and reporting in the paper.

Go get 'em Judge Sullivan!

7. WaPo & NYT...

... I subscribe to both.

9. Side note... $29?

I pay WaPo $10 - A MONTH!
How do you get away with $29 A YEAR?

10. As a new online subscriber

They had a special offer of $29 for the first year and then $100 per year thereafter. I jumped on it!

4. Obviously, this is calling Barr's hand. I hope he teaches him that he isn't as powerful as he thinks

Hopefully, McConnell is listening, as well. They are both pulling way too many tricks and need to be put in their places.

5. The delay alone now that's he's made this move is worth the price! Instead of Barr thinking we'd...

...forget the dropping of the charges long before Election Day, it's blown up in his fat face! This will lead to multiple court appearances, motions for new evidence, delays by the judge or Ms. Wilkinson. In fact, for those who may not know, since she is brand new to the case, she can easily (and likely will) ask the judge for say a 3-4 month delay simply for her to get up to speed, a not unusual occurrence.

My, my has Barr totally underestimated this judge. Pass the popcorn!

6. Another group, led by Lawrence Tribe, is involved in this clusterf**k

He's another very sharp cooky who has taught just about every member of Congress & Senate a law course or two...

8. This matter is a serious threat to the separation of powers

Laurence Tribe, et al., wrote a powerful, yet easy to read brief that clearly sets out what's at stake here. I'm very glad Judge Sullivan is standing strong.
