43. Yes but why can't the deadline for discovery be extended

As you say, we're in uncharted waters and so much is happening at the same time. There's no way for the DoJ to keep up with all of this. The deadline is unreasonable in this case, especially in the tense political situation right now.

I'm sure the courts can understand that. SCOTUS (and other federal courts) can't let our democracy die over a stupid deadline that could easily have been extended.
