DC Circuit just ordered DOJ to file amicus brief in Trump v. Mazars USA, LLP. This after Judge Rao pressed Trump team in oral argument on Friday and asked “Why is the Justuce Dept not participating to protect the office of the president, if that’s the primary basis of your arg?”

Hey DC #AppellateTwitter - I will be visiting your fair city June 7 & 8 and was hoping people might be free for coffee Friday morning. Thinking Foggy Bottom or DuPont. Who is in? @smmarotta @SEHarringtonDC @HeatherWeaverDC @DCCircuitBreak @SCOTUSPlaces Tag others!
I believe Rao has heard six cases (over three sittings). One interesting thing is that Tatel, Millett, and Rao were the current motions panel, and they opted to hear the case themselves. Don't think that always happens.
Talk about a tough early assignment! Neomi Rao, Trump's replacement for Brett Kavanaugh on the D.C. Circuit, was sworn in just two months ago. She's heard only three cases so far. And for her fourth, she finds herself on the panel that will decide the Trump subpoena fight.
As Marty points out, the “motions” panel in the D.C. Circuit this month, which would hear any emergency stay application from @realDonaldTrump in the Mazars case, is Judges Tatel, Millett, and Rao.
@steve_vladeck First question is going to be application for a stay during short period for court to consider. Not clear whether and for how long the House would acquiesce. I believe the question would go in the first instance to the motions panel (Tatel, Millett, Rao).
2/ The situations in which a court can invoke an affirmative defense on its own motion are very rare, and this isn't one of them, the D.C. Circuit holds. Here's the full opinion from Judge Edwards in Maalouf v. Iran (and consolidated cases): dccircuitbreaker.org/wp-content/upl…
Looking forward to the conversation today on @MSNBC with @sgurman and @kendisgibson!
If you’re by a TV at 3 pm ET, tune in to @MSNBC where I’ll be joining @kendisgibson and @katieleebarlow for a discussion of, what else, the Mueller report.
@DCCircuitBreak thank you for often/always including a hyperlink to the opinion! 👍
Judge Neomi Rao takes bench May 3 in DC Circuit, per new calendar. @DCCircuitBreak looks at the two cases on the argument docket: x.com/dccircuitbreak…
1/ NEW: The D.C. Circuit's newest judge, Neomi Rao, has been assigned to her first two cases -- and one of them involves the Trump administration's effort to roll back an Obama-era environmental regulation meant to reduce chemicals that contribute to climate change.
