SCOTUS Halts Boasberg--For Now

Julie Kelly, Substack

Since the Supreme Court only vacated the two written orders on the docket and not his

“oral ruling,” a contempt inquiry appears to remain in play. Sotomayor offered Boasberg an assist in her dissent: “[As] the Government well knows, courts routinely issue rulings from the bench, and those rulings can be appealed, including to this Court, in appropriate circumstances.” That appears to represent the green light Boasberg needs, to the extent he believes he needs one, to move forward with a contempt case against Trump officials.
