>How the fuck does this happen? I know lawfags are generally awful people, but what fucked up laws allow this bull shit?
I do not believe ANY law is being applied here. The DOJ has dropped the case. It is a band of judges who are demanding that not be done. The judges are all in deep waters as even they know, if there is no prosecution, there is no case.
>What's the point when there's no case either way?
I think the point is the gag order in place.
Please note, that was only an opinion of someone who hasnt even stayed or passed by a Holiday Inn Express in years.
>So a federal appeals court is telling the DOJ that they continue a prosecution of a citizen that the DOJ had dismissed the charges.
And after another court told Sullivan to drop it and knock it off.
