"There will be some clarity once this is published," says AG.
"There's gonna be clarity before I leave the bench for the day," says JR. If DOJ can't get someone here to argue that, I have to think we are well past the presumption of regularity.

Wild. When asked why he’s the only person who signed a filing, Stanley Woodward tells Judge Reyes he didn’t want to ask his colleagues to “take his word for it.”
Like, you’re the DoJ. You were just asking for presumption of regularity. Now you’re saying your colleagues can’t trust your filing?

Colleagues didn't participate in the conversations that led me to believe in the veracity of the document, he says, and I didn't want to ask them to take my word for it. Ok, says JR. You've also inquired with DOI and NPS? Yes, he says.

The government is traditionally granted presumption of regularity because of a long tradition of respecting the court. It is not a rule; it is a privilege earned.

1) Legislative abolition of the presumption of agency regularity/presumption of good faith in agency declarations in federal cases. If I have to prove my client is telling the truth so should DOJ. They can't just say "we win because we're awesome" and have the judge say okie dokie.

Chestnuts were the primary foodstuff for American black bear (Ursus americanus) during mast season: they fell with great regularity, provided enormous caloric excesses.
The American black bear was so intertwined with the American chestnut each shaped the other's reproductive success.

Wow, still begging for presumption of regularity. Can’t answer a judge’s question, doesn’t read case law, doesn’t even read the full proceedings in this particular case….but treat us as if we’re acting normal.

It’s wild to still be reading hearings where judges entertain for even a moment the “presumption of regularity”, normally afforded to executive agencies and actions, asserted by Trump’s DOJ.
