![1. Defendants will be prejudiced by being required to file their response by October
9, for a number of reasons. Plaintiff’s motion is relatively long—25 pages—on a complex and
weighty issue of law that warrants a reasonable time to provide a response.
2. Beyond the ordinary burdens of responding to a complex motion, Plaintiff’s motion
poses particular burdens and unique separation-of-powers concerns that militate against the
exceedingly short time ordered by the Court for a response and support a slightly longer schedule.
As the Supreme Court has recognized in Cheney v. District Court, 542 U.S. 367 (2004), and its
progeny, the burden on the Executive of asserting the privilege itself is significant, and requiring
Case 1:25-cv-04480-CRC Document 101 Filed 10/07/26 Page 1 of 4

the Executive to do so is itself a significant exercise impacting separation of powers concerns. Id.

unacceptable discovery requests line by line. Our precedents suggest just the opposite.”); Trump

Trump has acted as an outlaw, claiming the power to wage war while rejecting Congress’s authority to authorize it. He did not simply fail to obtain congressional approval; he repeatedly asserted he did not need it while continuing military action.
Neither POTUS nor claims of national security should shield him from accountability. Congress must investigate deliberate circumvention of its war powers, establish responsibility for deaths & destruction, & pursue impeachment & referral for criminal investigation wherever evidence warrants

BJP functionaries work 24/7, unlike Cong which surfaces during polls: Nabin jabs Rahul and Oppn (Ld)
New Delhi, Oct 8 (SocialNews.XYZ) Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) President Nitin Nabin, taking a derisive taunt at the Congress and INDIA bloc allies over Election Commission (EC) protests in the national capital, said on Thursday that their demonstration remains 'timed' with the elections and with an intent to earn electoral dividend from it. He asserted that the BJP and its workers remain in mission mode, 24x7 and every single day comes with new set of responsibilities while describing Prime Minister Narendra Modi's conviction and commitment towards public welfare as the key inspiration behind it.
