Do read this judgment – and my Prospect comment
Yesterday this blog published a post, but it had a borked link to the judgment mentioned. Although this was quickly corrected online, it meant those who only read emails would not have the link.
That judgment of the ages is here – and you really should read it in full.
And my Weekly Constitutional article at Prospect on the case is here.

I should be publishing a fuller post on here on the case soon.
Wow! Thank you. The whole lot of them should be impeached instantly for this.
Whoa! That is one of the most excoriating judgments I’ve ever seen, and that in a presidency which has already produced a number of impressive decisions.
I have deep admiration for the judges (like Kathleen Williams in this judgment, or James Boasberg)
who are unflinchingly asserting the rule of law, and refusing to bow to political pressure. When all this is history, their names will be held in honour.
Thanks for posting, David, looking forward to your further comments.
