WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Trump administration’s law enforcement commission won approval from a federal judge on Monday night to release its controversial report on policing reforms, as long as the Justice Department includes a disclaimer stating that the report was drafted in violation of federal open meeting laws.

The ruling from U.S. District Judge John Bates marks a partial victory for the Justice Department, after Bates temporarily halted the commission’s work last month, blocking its release in response to a lawsuit filed in the spring by the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund (NAACP LDF).

Attorney General William Barr unveiled the policing commission in January following an executive order by President Donald Trump. The commission had planned to deliver a slate of proposals to the International Association of Chiefs of Police at its annual conference shortly before the presidential election on Nov. 3.

Drafts of the report obtained by Reuters through public records requests push for bolstering police surveillance powers and due process protections for officers, but do not address concerns by civil rights advocates about systemic racism in policing.

2. Too late to matter. Barr thwarted again. These really are America's dumbest criminals.

5. They'll pass it in the lame duck period, along with the 2 federal judges.

And along with hundreds of other laws just to make it the most difficult they can for Biden.

One dirty trick might be to pass a huge tax break for average Americans, and not the wealthy this time. Something they NEVER would have done if they'd won. Then Fox News and Trump and other Republicans would rail on how Joe Biden is going to nix their shiny new tax break, or as they would put it, raise your taxes. Putting the new government between a rock and a hard place.

3. I wonder how many of the recommendations they lifted from Mein Kampf.
