She again shows what a leftist-hack she is. She should never have been a federal judge.
It will be heard by Appeals Court. One Tinhorn Obama appointee can't get away with this partisan hit job.
Laughable that anyone considers that Øbama appointed hack to be "respected".
Oh, the lefties respect her as long as she makes a mockery of what a judge is supposed to be about.
Lest we forget this:
Appeals court stays ruling that former White House counsel Donald McGahn must comply with House subpoena
The Trump administration hasn't yet blatantly defied a court order. I've been watching for it to happen though.

“‘[A]n impeachment investigation involving the President of the United States’ is ‘a matter of the most critical moment to the Nation.’” In re Application of Comm. on Judiciary, 2019 WL 5608827, at *3 (quoting In re Report & Recommendation of June 6, 1972 Grand Jury, 370 F. Supp. 1219, 1230 (D.D.C. 1974) (Sirica, C.J.))) (alteration in original). Indeed, the fact that the issuance of a stay of McGahn’s testimony wouldimpede an investigation that a committee of Congress is undertaking as part of an impeachment inquiry is yet another distinction between the instant circumstances and those that existed when the D.C. Circuit stayed the district court order in Miers. And as this Court noted above, the D.C. Circuit Miers panel also did not address any of the four traditional stay factors, each of which weighs against the issuance of a stay under the circumstances presented here for the reasons previously explained.
Accordingly, it is hereby
ORDERED that DOJ’s Motion to Stay Pending Appeal and For Immediate Administrative Stay (ECF No. 49) is DENIED. It is
FURTHER ORDERED that the administrative stay entered by this Court on November 27, 2019 (see Minute Order of Nov. 27, 2019), is LIFTED.

the ruling basically tells the DOJ that they're full of crap. Everyone already pretty much knows they're just trying to run out the clock. But, to see it in print as told by a judge , as Katyal said - is "remarkable". This nonsense of just going along with what ever Trump wants needs to stop. These people know better.
