In a jaw-dropping opinion issued by the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago on January 23, Judge Frank Easterbrook—a longtime speaker for the conservative Federalist Society and someone whom the late Justice Antonin Scalia favored to replace him on the U.S. Supreme Court—rebuked Attorney General William Barr for declaring in a letter that the court’s decision in an immigration case was “incorrect” and thus dispensable.

“We have never before encountered defiance of a remand order, and we hope never to see it again,” Easterbrook wrote

Impeach Barr!

LOL. That's not likely. Barr is the personal attorney to the President of the United States of America, Donald J. Trump. That shields him like a force-field. As long as Barr is working for his client (Trump) then he can't do anything wrong.

(I wish more people read the Constitution)

...from the op's article:

"We have never before encountered defiance of a remand order, and we hope never to see it again,” Easterbrook wrote. “Members of the [Immigration] Board must count themselves lucky that Baez-Sanchez has not asked us to hold them in contempt, with all the consequences that possibility entails.”
