POS DOJ Basura...

omg, ROFL!!! How in the heck did I miss this one!

[Califpatriot]

did you hear it at a poker game from your buddy whose brother in law works for DOJ ?

[Harambe]

I highly doubt it. Sorry. Benitez isn't going to order a stay for his own ruling.

If I had to guess, if there is something to this rumor, Becerra has gotten a guarantee from somebody in the 9th (likely Thomas) that an emergency stay from the 9th is forthcoming.

Was this rumor posted before Basura's latest whiny filing? If so, he may just have known that scumbag was going to move up his demanded deadline and go to the 9th tomorrow.

Doubt OP has an in with Benitez, but who knows.

You're right, if they are smart, they would have this ready to go. Never underestimate your enemy. I'm hoping the court packing of the 9th lately has done some serious damage and we'll get a miracle.

He more than likely arranged for that simultaneously to when he filed his motion for a stay with Benitez.

All in place, ready to go, if Benitez refuses the stay request. These people know how to play their games.

If they have this planned out with the 9th, then Benitez should throw them a curveball and order a hearing on Monday morning.

Especially Thomas, who has been doing it for decades. Becerra is a rank amateur.

So the 9th has made a decision in a matter that is not before them yet?

What country is this??

They did it in both Nordyke and Peruta.

Thomas' word is law.

News people: Better to be first than to be right.

But that conjecture didn't stop me from visiting a local retail store to buy a couple more pieces of black plastic just because I could. About 3 out of 4 people in line were holding a brown cardboard box with "D60" printed on it and the lines were substantial but moving fast.

[M14 Junkie]

Especially Thomas, who has been doing it for decades. Becerra is a rank amateur.

Sure, all that freak AG did was make a phone call to the ninth, "Hey, will you back me up if the stay is denied?"

"Sure thing pal, we got your back". "Have the docs ready."

Done.

I did not bring it up to piss on the party. Just be warned. A2
