remedy for a very serious situation, while she says, i can t find that here but let me go ahead and look at these are the things. as you say, she makes it up as she goes along, the 11th circuit has no tolerance for that. i will tell you as a former 11 circuit appellate chief in my old u.s. attorney s office before i became u.s. attorney, one thing that we are known for this circuit is the collegiality which which the court conduct itself. this opinion might read as very understated to people who have not practiced in the circuit or to the folks that are laypeople, but it reads loud and clear that anyone who has ever been in front of a panel in this court, it is a real sound bench slap at this judge telling her that she has done frank, removing her discretion and directing her to end this case now. i guess i ve read enough opinions to know that this was a pretty insulting opinion, properly so. glenn kirschner in the next segment we will discuss with
role for trump in this case, and really from the beginning because the federal courts in the 11 circuit points this out today, the federal court isn t a court of unlimited jurisdiction you can just file a law school lawsuit on any topic and have the court decided it has to be a specific area where jurisdiction is granted to the federal courts. and so as barb was saying this case judge cannon decided to take under her equitable jurisdiction, but that is very unusual, very and she sort of made it up as she went along. trump s lawyers didn t explicitly asked for this in their initial filings so she invited them to file a brief. and then when she didn t make this key findings that you have to make for equitable jurisdiction, that s the plaintive has some sort of constitutional right that has been callously disregarded by the government, that s why he would give an equitable remedy at all, it is very unusual
and the issue and self opinions like. this but not this time. we have time to just a department and of course the entire case. the 11th circuit has moved as quickly as possible. documents found a donald trump residence from the special master review, and five days after filing that appeal, three judge panel granted that request. then, the justice department concentrated on appealing the entire case to the 11th circuit, and the 11th circuit moved that appeal as quickly as possible. more than any case double trump has ever been involved with in his life. this is the one. where donald trump wants to delay, and delay, and delay, because this is the one where donald trump faces such serious potential criminal indictments. donald trump is indicted in this case the title in this case will be the opposite of the title of the civil case. donald trump just lost. the 11th civil case, the 11th
lower court in his tax case, he started attacking them. even though he is attacked them and they tried to buy a week or two at most by going there, in the meantime he is not going to get a say of the decision of this very conservative panel. so the case will go ahead and i would not even be surprised if, as a face saving move, judge irene cannon or to decide simply to follow the directive of the court of appeals before its words reached her courtroom and simply dismiss the case to show that she can do something right. she is not done anything else right yet in this case. so there is the potential of donald trump using a couple of weeks in one of those futile attempts to get a supreme court to rule, and then we get one of those responses from the supreme court unsigned, just throwing it away as they have done before when the same
president that i m going to do something unusual. well, this court says that given those three choices, we really do not have a choice. we have to follow the law. and i think it was an extraordinary triumph of the rule of law and a terrible embarrassment for a federal judge whose name will go down in history in a very, very negative way. a short judge summary for this audience is that this case, according to this appeals court, is every bit as simple and clear as every legal expert, including tribe, has said it is. harvard law professor laurence tribe, thank you very much for joining us tonight. really appreciated. coming up, as of today, kanye west officially became the most famous, loudest, and world s most dangerous loosely influential purveyor of extreme
