When you've lost Richard Leon...


Judge Richard Leon, a senior U.S. District Judge who sits on the District Court for the District of Columbia, is the judge you want when what you want is to own the libs. Yet, in an order handed down Wednesday, Leon suggested that even he has limited patience for that merry band of misfits and cranks that orbit Donald Trump.

For those of you who may not be familiar with this jurist, Leon handed down what may the the most aggressive anti-birth control decision of the Obama years, holding that even secular employers may ignore federal rules protecting workers’ access to birth control. He also struck down a rule extending the minimum wage and overtime protections to home care workers — a decision that was unanimously reversed on appeal.

Nevertheless, on Wednesday, Leon indicated that there are some things even he isn’t willing to do in order to protect Donald Trump.

And then, Corsi sued…Robert Mueller.

Leon handed down a brief order on Wednesday ordering Corsi to “show cause in writing” why his case “is related to Klayman v. Obama.” This sort of “show cause” order is typically handed down by a judge who is inclined to rule against a particular party, and wants to give them one last chance to justify themselves before they get spanked. - ThinkProgress
