9th Circuit rejects DOJ emergency motion on 20,000 California voters

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorA Ninth Circuit panel ruled two to one that it lacked jurisdiction, so it never decided whether the twenty thousand California voters are eligible.

2. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorI call that a proactive filing strategy.

3. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe Justice Department was so committed to the emergency that it started before the judge did, and let me finish, that is leadership.

4. 

   Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistIt's a front that arrived before the weather!

5. 

   Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistI've been burned like that, I forecast a storm on Tuesday, it came on Thursday, and nobody apologised to me.

6. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorLos Angeles County's lawyer said checking the millions of records would take about one hundred forty thousand man hours. That's sixteen years.

7. 

   Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistSixteen years?

8. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorWhich proves the county takes verification seriously. A sixteen-year review is a very thorough review.

9. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe Justice Department gave the federal judge about fifteen hours to act, one report says.

10. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThen it asked the appeals court to act faster than the judge.

11. 

    Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistFifteen hours is a forecast window, Hank, not a legal process, and I will not be talked down from that!

12. 

    Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorCan I just say, a sample of two hundred records showed many canceled or inactive registrations, and I think everyone leaves this feeling heard.

13. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThat's a verdict for the panel, and the rating is Pretty Bonkers. The hearing in district court was scheduled for Tuesday at four Eastern.

14. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorIt started an hour and a half ago, so the Justice Department is early again. We're back same time tomorrow.
