52. Todays ruling cited Monday's opinion

The bench ruling came two days after D.C. federal judge Amit Mehta issued a lengthy and broad opinion denying a similar request from Trump to shut down a Congressional subpoena to his accountant Mazars. In that opinion, Mehta compared Trump’s behavior to that of President Buchanan.

Ramos called Mehta’s opinion “thorough,” and quoted it in his own ruling.

Ramos’s decision came after lengthy and contentious oral arguments, during which the judge took pain to grill both sides.

The private attorney representing Trump at the hearing — Patrick Strawbridge of Consovoy McCarthy Park — stammered as he attempted to respond to an initial volley of questions from Ramos.

Wasn't it EB's friend, who is a judge, who made that statement? bitterross May 2019 #26

My OP quotes Effie's entire post, including her friend's quote StarfishSaver May 2019 #27

But the OP title gives the wrong person credit for the statement bitterross May 2019 #28

Effie said in her post she thinks her friend was right, so my OP is accurate StarfishSaver May 2019 #29

Because facts and their subtlety are important. bitterross May 2019 #33
