Sullivan has no obligation to grant the motion if he does not agree with their reasoning.
That is a proven LIE.
Sullivan is rejecting / ignoring 2 set precedents,
1 established by the USSC just weeks ago - before he pulled this shit -
in a 9-0 vote by the USSC. Again, Sullivan seems to be giving the proverbial middle finger to the USSC, especially to
Justice Ginsburg who wrote the opinion.
The very same Trump-hating ex-Judge Sullivan reached out to for help in continuing this farce said both you and Sullivan are WRONG several years ago when he wrote the argument that the DOJ has an almost un-challengeable authority in such a caser, that Judicial questioning / 2nd-guessing or attempts to override from the bench are all but impossible.
As both you and Sullivan have demonstrated, your belief / focus is:
"F* precedent, F* the USSC, F* Ginsburg, F* Sullivan's own decision 24 times in this case to NOT allow what he is now doing, & F* his own ex-Judge's opinion - the judge is taking matters into his own hands to punish Flynn".
And much like Comey's attitude when he declared the US was under attack only HE could save us all, you and Sullivan believe everyone else is wrong, even the USSC, and the only person who can save us is SULLIVAN.
When animals show signs of such insanity they are usually 'put down'. It seems Sullivan is showing he has lost ALL sanity, ALL respect for the law / precedence / the USSC, and has embraced extreme partisanship, making him incapable of seeing, exercising, and ruling justice equally and perhaps should be 'put down' by being removed of his position / stripped of his power.
He is not a king...but he is trying to be the king of his own kingdom (his courtroom).
