Why would a judge in one of the most high-profile cases of the year – one that could determine for decades the extent of a President’s power in wartime – write such a godawful rant of an opinion?
Well, one reason could be that she had already reached her conclusion and just wasn’t very good at stringing the trappings of judicial impartiality from it, as Ann Althouse writes today.
Another reason could be that she was on the Board of Trustees of a group who gave one of the plaitiffs a rather large sum of money.
Neither of them bode well for the decision making it past an appeal.
Maybe Jimmy Carter could have actually picked a well qualified African American women to the bench instead of her, but he didn’t.
This is sooooo laughably predictable. Judge Diggs is just another installment in the insanity of the left–corrupt and insane, marvelous. Not even a pretense of honesty in the opinion, which will go down in history as the most childish opinion ever authored by a federal judge. She may actually have crossed the line of decency by a large enough degree to merit impeachment.
