The Judge James Boasberg Page -- November 28, 2022

Disclaimer: it's hard to say if anything on this page is still up-to-date. But I do know that in a long note like this there will be content and typographical errors. 

Fitness "clubs": they haven't changed. 

Statues: now that "we're" pretty much done with tearing down Civil War statues, it's time to consider commissioning a Judge Boasberg statue somewhere. 

Or perhaps just using "Boasberg" as the middle name for one's next child (he/him/ his).  Or alternatively, "Boasberga" (she/her/hers).

Gender pronouns in e-mail correspondence, link here.


Also: along with the appropriate pronoun sign-off, consider noting one's preferred "work-from-home attire: falda, vestido, pantalones, burqa, kilt, or au naturel.

Judge Boasberg: tosses Mr Vindman's suit against Trump allies. Link here to Politico.

Alexander Vindman, the former National Security Council aide who helped trigger the first impeachment of former President Donald Trump, suffered a legal setback Tuesday as a federal judge tossed out a lawsuit in which Vindman accused several top Trump allies of conspiring to violate his civil rights.
U.S. District Court Judge James Boasberg said Vindman’s allegations that he was smeared by the former president’s son Donald Trump Jr., adviser and attorney Rudy Giuliani, former Deputy White House Communications Director Julia Hahn and former deputy chief of staff Dan Scavino did not give Vindman a legal basis to sue the foursome under the Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871. 

Where have we heard that name before?

DAPL: I've long lost the bubble on "everything" DAPL -- Standing Rock suit; expansion; the "Illinois issue." These are old links but that's all I could find during an exhaustive (all of five minutes) search on the internet in which it seemed there were an enumerable number of articles on the "Illinois issue" as just one example. So, let's begin:

  • Illinois, September 15, 2022: link here. I don't know if that's a news story or an op-ed. Earlier, January 12, 2022, it was reported that an Illinois appellate court had "vacated" the regulatory agency's permit to allow the expansion.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A federal judge on Tuesday dismissed the lawsuit filed by the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe challenging the operation of the Dakota Access Pipeline.
With his ruling, U.S. District Judge James Boasberg outlined a path for a future legal challenge to an ongoing environmental review, should the tribe seek to make one.
Boasberg indicated if the tribe plans to challenge the outcome of the study it must do so in the form of a new lawsuit that would be assigned to his court. The judge also left open the possibility of reopening the case should any previous orders he made concerning the pipeline be violated.
Boasberg in May answered lingering issues in the litigation, ruling the pipeline could keep operating. Standing Rock had asked him to issue an injunction forcing the line to stop pumping oil, but he concluded the tribe had failed to demonstrate a “likelihood of irreparable injury” from the line’s continued operation.

Expansion: is the DAPL expansion complete? I'm glad you asked. Yes.

Speaking of Updates: Sophia

Sophia has ended her dance lessons to devote her life to Brazilian jiu-jitsu.

Her last dance class was two weeks ago. Later this afternoon she begins a new chapter in her life.  US Judge Boasberg played no role, advisory or otherwise, in her decision. 

She will continue with gymnastics and is signed up for soccer in the spring.
