Obama Judge looking to Fani to find caselaw to help him keep the case in State Court when statutes are clear. Bet this is a Friday late dump if the Judge has to rule in favor of Meadows. It then becomes a shit show of partial tried in Federal Court / State Court. Walt should be justified to have his brought into military Court as he was a Navy Senior Petty Officer at the time.

Reminder: there is very little hard guidance on what factors a Judge should consider with regard to the disposition of a case in a removal proceeding beyond the basic threshold question. It's largely uncharted territory — he's within his rights to partially remand and/or sever the case.

Difficult to see where that's justified given that there are multiple federal questions presented and the core question of whether Meadows' conduct was entirely job-related or not is a huge one.

Judge Jones asks the parties in the Georgia v. Meadows case to provide supplemental briefs. Expect DA Fanni Willis to twist the law into an even tighter pretzel in her response; removal statute is pretty cut & dry, so it should be concerning to Meadows that the Judge is hedging.
