DOJ filing reads like a Truth Social post, critics say
Acting A.G. Todd Blanche, Associate A.G. Stanley Woodward, and attorney Trent McCotter filed a brief arguing construction on the president's $400 million White House ballroom must resume. The brief uses colloquial, partisan phrasing and rhetorical flourishes that mirror the president's Truth Social posts rather than conventional DOJ legal writing. Legal experts warn the unconventional tone could undercut the Justice Department's claim of impartiality and weaken the government's position before the judge deciding whether to pause construction.
BREAKING: DOJ's leaders just filed what amounts to a Truth social post as a legal filing in the ballroom case. Acting A.G. Todd Blanche, Associate A.G. Stanley Woodward, and Trent McCotter beclowned themselves in yet another dark, embarrassing moment for DOJ. Overnight, at Law Dork:
Connor Lynch25I don’t entirely understand why judges don’t just strike these sorts of things from the docket sua sponte without prejudice to file a real motion
Hard Left - No Labels23Todd Blanche needs to lose his license, enough of this shit
Jess Herr17This type of filing alone should be sanction worthy.
Siúlach Erin12Trump himself said that the White House is the most secure place for him. No attempted assassin has been able to penetrate the security there. No need to fix something that isn't broken.
Brian Wilcox9Blanche has no shame whatsoever, meaning he probably has the inside track for an appointment as Trump's AG. He'll literally do anything Trump asks.
Matteo Panella8The Judge should use the Cleveland Stadium response.
UNHINGED VEGAN CHICK 🏳️⚧️ 🌱🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️7LMAO what the fuck. This is impressively unprofessional and insane
Roland Gerritsen van der Hoop6They beclown themselves in an attempt to please a fickle petty tyrant who can get very nasty if he does not get his pet projects. And one who apparently is unaware the White House is not his home but only a temporary lease to him from the American people.
Ruby Ninepins6The absurdity is on overdrive.
Jay W5What if we met him halfway… and allowed him to build a bubble in the shape of a ballroom, that he gets transported around in everywhere? Maybe with a hole for a golf club handle?
Ric Fouad5Welcome to Wheel of Rule 11! Thank you for playing!🤗
That information is classified5I spent a while finding it heart breaking what had become of DOJ. Now I’m just pissed at the Klan show it has become and want everyone there remembered in the future for the transparency of their hoods.
Laurie T5What’s crazy to me is they don’t seem to be embarrassed or ashamed to submit garbage like this to a court of law. It absolutely DOES reflect on Blanche here.
Zazz Blammymatazz4Spot on description. Whatever ai tool they use to generate his tweets, was used in this filing.
Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer3Judge Leon should take a page from General McAuliffe on how to respond here.
AbolishICE3seems the "any port in a storm" approach is being abused early and often here by the doj
deehellcat2I mean, for just one point, the term TDS was, if I recall correctly, originated to describe rump's minions, not the rest of us.
Carolanne2I don’t care. It’s the latest distraction.
This brief in support of Trump’s ballroom reads like a Truth Social post written by the president himself. What a disgrace for DOJ, which once relied on facts, law, common sense, decency, respect, and, most importantly, the fair administration of justice.
a-nice-karen.bsky.social7I said the same thing earlier when i first read it. Sounds like trump wrote it. Juvenile gibberish. I can’t believe the DOJ would allow this to be filed. What an embarrassment this administration is.
teresalfenton.bsky.social6Our DOJ has been compromised. In 2028, fire everyone and rebuild it from the ground up.
Don Isaacs3If there’s one thing Trump does well, it’s listening to and accepting any and all opposition to his biases, wants, and perceived needs. Not.
The Snarklepuss 🐸2it's like a parody, complete with Random Capitalizations
Carolyn2Stan Woodward Assoc AG auditioning for the AG spot.
Ma Joad ✌️2Who knew so many middle aged white, somewhat chubby white people could be so adept at the game of Twister?
