Maybe the article deserves a second reading, but as an attorney, I found this argument rather odd as well. DOJ should have asked for more time at the beginning. If they did and didn’t get it, they should have objected to the district court judge. If they did and were overruled, and this was so important, they should have bothered to get the renewals. To argue that a judge can’t or shouldn’t place a time limit on search warrants is unpersuasive.
