Which is just fairly typical legal maneuvering in any case - the complaintant files an injunction, the defendant writes that the injunction should not proceed and that instead they file a motion to dismiss summarily.
If we have a process story about every single motion filed in these cases, we're in for a long, tedious hall.
Regardless, these motions will of course, be heard in court and the title remains awful.
- dragonwriter 13y agoThe title is a perfectly accurate representation of the government's argument, which is that the Court's authority on this matter is limited to recognizing that the substantive questions raised are not ones subject to adjudication and dismissing the entire matter on that baisis without reaching the substance of the claims. The fact that such arguments are within he range of common legal arguments does not make a title accurately reflecting them "awful".
- ethomson 13y agoCan you cite that from the article? Because I don't see that anywhere. What I see is: > ... the alleged metadata program is fully consistent with the Fourth Amendment ... Because the Fourth Amendment is not breached, it follows that the First Amendment is not violated either Which asks for a summary dismissal. The referenced article never suggests that the court lacks authority, at least not that I can read. So I will continue to deem the title awful.
