Mehta sits on the District of Columbia Court of Appeals and has been the subject of non-stop investigations by Republicans since be appointed in 2014.
I wonder how he got the suit? Merrick Garland – name sound familiar – is the Chief Judge and assigns cases as he sees fit.
On Monday, the Republican president’s attorneys objected to Mehta’s plan to fast-track the lawsuit by holding a trial on Tuesday, saying that would deny Trump a “full and fair” hearing.
Either way, Mehta will likely issue a written decision at a later date, although he may indicate on Tuesday how he intends to rule. Whatever the outcome, his ruling will almost certainly be appealed to a higher court.
The appeal, when it comes, will go to a panel of judges from the district court, again appointed by Judge Garland. After that, it will go to SCOTUS.
