Optional soundtrack for this post because I adore this Radiohead cover, and the lyric above is sort of relevant:
Okay, to business: the DOJ has appealed filed a notice of appeal to Judge MAGA Hat Cannon’s special master nonsense. Here’s a link to the breaking WaPo coverage, and here’s an excerpt I found interesting:
While the appointment of a special master means investigators cannot use the documents they seized until the outside expert clears them, an appeal of Cannon’s decision carries its own legal risks for the Justice Department.
The appeals process could take longer than any document review by the special master. And there is no guarantee that the government would prevail, particularly if the case were to reach the Supreme Court, which has a 6-3 conservative majority that includes three Trump appointees.
Cannon’s ruling was brutally panned by just about every reputable legal analyst, so maybe the DOJ figures it’ll get tossed, even if the court is stocked with low-quality Trump hires. Or maybe they’re fine with the appeal going all the way to the corrupt SCOTUS.
In the purloined papers case, the DOJ has been ahead of the Trump morons at every turn. I heard the filing notes that the attempted assertion of executive privilege is a legal absurdity. We’ll see what happens, but if we have a SCOTUS that will assign fictitious rights to a felonious blob of oleaginous orange goo, I guess it’s important to find that out sooner rather than later.
Open thread.

This makes no sense. The special master process will go forward during the appeal. DOJ only requested a partial stay of the judge’s order. Even if that is granted, the rest of it will remain in effect.

@Omnes Omnibus: Although presumably, instead of only pursuing the appeal on the merits, DOJ will immediately file a motion to stay with the 11th Circuit (once Cannon denies the DOJ motion to stay that DOJ already filed with her). That process could be ruled on within a couple of weeks – and there’s a slim chance the 11th would grant a stay given how “out there” Cannon’s ruling is (a Circuit that wasn’t stacked with Trump appointees might be more likely to grant a stay).

DOJ has asked her to rule by September 15, and if she has not by then they will file the same motion in the 11th Circuit (the rules on stays pending appeals require that the motion be filed with the district court first to give it a chance to stay the order pending appeal).

Yesterday was the 2 year anniversary of Oregon’s Labor Day 2020 fires. Yesterday evening we received an email from our power company warning of a fire safety due to hot, dry east winds forecast for Friday and Saturday. Since then automated calls to both our phones from the power company, county emergency services and state emergency services. Packed the freezer full of water jugs. Sprinklers running on our perimeter. Cat carriers and go bags are ready. Mrs Kelly is cooking stuff from the fridge that we can pack in a cooler and eat cold. Mrs Kelly met a friend for breakfast at a nearby restaurant. Everyone talking about their preparations. Plan to hook up the camp trailer before I go to bed.

@Old School: It’s complicated..
The song is biographical. It describes a time when Thom Yorke was quasi-stalking a girl in college that he didn’t have the courage to ask out. At one point the girl shows up for a live performance and Yorke is just mortified because ultimately the song is how Yorke sees himself as a loser for stalking this girl that he believes is out of reach – and here she is listening to the song, possibly connecting herself to the song, possibly not?
Anyway, the band doesn’t consider it their best work, it makes it on to the album because the producers like it, and it becomes their first big hit in the backdrop of grunge in the US. And now they need a followup.
So it’s already a difficult song for Thom because it’s very personal. It’s not reflective of how the band sees themselves. It’s of a style that the band doesn’t want to lean into, and it’s the only thing they’re known for. A followup hit is expected, and the band nearly tears itself apart trying to follow this song up while still doing the kind of art they are interested in doing.
So it’s not like they dislike the song on its merits, but how the song set the image and trajectory of the band early on, mainly without their consent since they didn’t really even want it on the album. Its like being famous for some stupid fucking catch-phrase that you’re forced to lean into the rest of your career. So as a result, they refused to play it at concerts because they just didn’t want anything more to do with it.
With time that passed and they started playing it again. So fair to say that for a long time they *did* hate that song. I think getting out from under a label, getting ongoing success for their later work all allowed them to let that go.

@Baud: I didn’t see an argument that it was improper either, just that Trump’s lawyers bypassed a nearby courthouse to file at a distant one in hopes of getting this judge.

@Betty Cracker: He tried the same thing earlier this year, to get a motion in front of Cannon, specifically, in some other case – it’s hard to keep track of all the ongoing litigation – and it wound up in front of a different judge who either denied the motion outright or refused the change in jurisdiction/judges (and sent it back where it belonged).
If I read the DOJ motion correctly, it does address the issue of jurisdiction, but a little tangentially in that the DOJ doesn’t come right out and say “Plaintiff was judge shopping, and you accepted.”

@OzarkHillbilly: The SC will have a completely different view. Only Repubs have post executive privilege.

@Baud: Could this have something to do with the location of the agent for service of process? A couple days ago Marcy Wheeler retweeted someone who noted that the Mar-a-Lago corporation had changed its long-standing agent for service in south Florida to a new one up near Tallahassee. This was done in late June, right around the time the subpoena process for the stolen documents was heating up.
New Deal democrat
I just finished reading the DoJ’s motion for a partial stay.
Very well done. I think they have a shot of this being granted, at least in part, even by Judge Cannon. In a nutshell, they argue that classified documents (vs. all the other items seized) by that very fact cannot possibly be personal documents of Trump, and that the intelligence review and investigation cannot be meaningfully completed without the involvement of the criminal branch (by, e.g., investigating who else might have touched or otherwise had access to the classified documents).
Hardly unreasonable to allow this to go forward. If Cannon denies, she is choosing benefiting Trump over national security. I don’t even think most Trump judges want to go there.
As an aside, has anyone read *any* legal commentary not blasting Cannon’s opinion? There seems to have been either wide criticism, or silence (by the right). Has even, e,g., Turley tried to defend it?
And P.S., no an appeal is not likely to take longer than special master review. Cannon’s opinion allowed for lots of issues to be litigated over involving the selection of the special master, the scope of their review, and the decisions they make – all of which are likely to be exploited by Trump for purposes of delay.
Baud
@Geminid:
The corporation isn’t a party. Trump is claiming these are his personal records.
Roger Moore
@Mallard Filmore:
That’s true, but the previous documents were handed over at least somewhat voluntarily, so it might be hard to prove willfulness. The search warrant came only after Trump’s lawyers swore they had searched diligently for responsive documents, so keeping them is clearly willful infringement. Not getting the documents from the search warrant wouldn’t be the end of the case, but it would be a serious blow.

@Betty Cracker:
As I understand it, judge shopping is part of venue shopping. There are laws on venue that limit the extent of venue shopping, but the basic idea is that you find a place where you are legally allowed to file a case where you think the local justice system will work in your favor. That might be laws that are especially favorable, judges or juries that lean your way, or what have you. This is why, for example, many patent trolls set up in the Eastern District of Texas. It happens to be a very favorable venue for them, and locating there means they can always file cases there because the courts have personal jurisdiction (jurisdiction based on the location of one of the parties).

Whew! Thanks for the link. Looking at the motion for a partial stay.
Starting on page 12, argued at length, Cannon is essentially informed that she ordered a halt to a counterintelligence investigation in her attempt to block a criminal investigation of her benefactor (controller?) DJT. If she has any sense and any loyalty to the USA, she will grant this stay. If she considers this to be the start of a negotiation, when the government is only making a very well argued ask for a partial, focused stay, she will (if she is intelligent) know herself to be an enemy of the USA. She may be OK with that, in which case … what happens, happens.

I don’t know anything about the handling of classified documents so this may be the dumbest comment I’ve ever offered, but I think the appointment of a special master is coming too late to help trump one bit.
My guess is that the FBI and US intelligence agencies have already catalogued the recovered documents, know exactly what’s in them and have already analyzed them for fingerprints. Turning over the originals won’t slow the investigation at all. The special master fight amounts to nothing more than a chew toy for trump and his legal team.

When looking at polls, remember a few things.
Pollsters are looking at past voting patterns and trying to replicate them in there tabs.
2022 is going to blow a major hole in that since
1. Democrats are more fired up to vote than normal for mid-terms
2. Under 25ers are more fired up to vote than any time
3. Women are more fired up to vote than ever before, particularly the younger set.
I am not saying this guarantees anything, but it means the pollsters really have no super knowledge about how the voting public is going to break out. And everyday something new happens with Trump and the GOP tries to cover for him is a bad day for the GOP. A new poll shows 58% of the public sees Trump and MAGA followers as a distinct threat to democracy. That matters.

@Geminid: Not necessarily, and I only speak for myself but she was and is a moderate and it’s difficult for her to become a progressive. I think she doesn’t know how to run as a progressive.
Between the extreme abortion law and hospital closures, this should be an easy race.
Now if Warnock is in a runoff, she can get out the votes.
Geminid
@JPL: Being a moderate typically does not hold back Democratic candidates in purple states. It does not seem to hurt Mark Kelly in Arizona, for instance. I don’t think that Abrams and Warnock differ much on policy anyway.
Warnock seems personally more likeable than Abrams, but I suspect that much of his advantage over Abrams is due to the fact that his opponent is a mediocre Black man, while Abrams’ is a white man with a more or less successful record as Governor. Georgia is a prosperous state whose government is in good fiscal shape. Rightly or wrongly, some of that is bound to rub off on the incumbent.
