Judge tosses Trump administration's lawsuit against Maryland's 15
federal judges, calling it a 'constitutional free-for-all'
A federal judge on Tuesday threw out an aggressive, unusual lawsuit
the Trump administration brought earlier this year against all 15
federal judges in Maryland, rejecting a bid by the Justice Department
to limit court power in fast-moving immigration cases.
The opinion on Tuesday framed the lawsuit as a major constitutional
standoff, with Judge Thomas Cullen writing the Justice Department
couldn't pursue a "constitutional free-for-all."
The ruling from Cullen, who was appointed to the bench by President
Donald Trump during his first term and brought in from another
district to handle the case in Maryland, said the government lacked
the legal right -- known as standing -- to bring the challenge and
that the judges are immune from such suits brought by the executive
branch.

All lawyers know/understand this legal underpinning, but apparently,
those in Justice Department who brought this suit should get the
"board of education" for this stupid stunt.
