Federal Judge Absolutely Skewers DOJ Lawyers For ‘Lying’ About Obama’s Immigration Directive

Damn lying rightwingers.......Oh, wait.

Not sure why they weren't held in contempt. But ordering them to take ethics courses is too funny.

From the OP link:

*******
In the order, Hanen found DOJ attorneys misled the Court and opposing counsel on multiple occasions over a three month period as to when the Obama Administration would implement its new immigration directive. The DOJ lawyers said changes would not be implemented until February 18, 2015 when, in fact, the changes had already been implemented and “DHS had already granted or renewed over 100,000 modified DACA applications.” Judge Hanen found that the DOJ lawyers knew all of this, yet “chose not to tell the Plaintiff States or the Court.” (emphasis original). “The Government’s lawyers in this case clearly violated their ethical duties,” Judge Hanen wrote.

In deciding which sanctions to impose, Judge Hanen wrote the conduct of the DOJ lawyers was so egregious that he could strike their pleadings, but he chose not to do so.

Judge Hanen found the appropriate remedy was for the DOJ to provide the Court with a list by June 10, 2016 of all of the approximately 108,000 individuals in the Plaintiff States who prematurely received benefits under the new immigration edict. Judge Hanen will then keep a copy of the list, under seal, until the Supreme Court issues an opinion on the matters in the underlying lawsuit.

He also ensured that the out-of-state attorneys involved in this incident would not be practicing in Texas again any time soon.

“The Court does not have the power to disbar counsel in this case, but it does have the power to revoke the pro hac vice status of out-of-state attorneys who act unethically in court. By a seperate sealed order … that is being done,” Hanen wrote.

Finding that ethics are lacking in the halls of the Justice Department in Washington, D.C., Judge Hanen also ordered that any D.C. based DOJ attorney who “appears, or seeks to appear, in a court (state or federal) in any of the 26 Plaintiff States annually attend a legal ethics course.” The ethics course must be taught by a recognized expert unaffiliated with the DOJ and should be at least 3 hours, per year. The Attorney General is required to appoint a person within DOJ that will file an annual report with Judge Hanen showing compliance with the order. The order is to remain in effect for the next five years, until 2021.

Lastly, Attorney General Loretta Lynch is required to develop “a comprehensive plan to prevent this unethical conduct from ever occurring again” and file it with Judge Hanen within 60 days. LawNewz.com received a statement from a DOJ spokesperson that simply said: “The Department disagrees with the order.”

*******

OUCH! Does this mean that Loretta Lynch will have to refile her lawsuit against North Carolina? She evoked the "Violence Against Women Act" in an attempt to protect men-pretending-to-be-women (transgenders) having access to restrooms and showers behind doors marked "women" (thereby putting real, actual women, 17 million of which are rape survivors, at risk, in violation of the Violence Against Women Act).

This set of conditions is a pretty tight noose. Will Lynch jump off the chair she's teetering on in a fit of arrogance when it comes to being a whore for the Church of LGBT?
