The link wanted me to sign up for the WSJ... I did read the article by doing a quick search

What Justice Ginsberg was ruling is that: " In a nutshell, this concept dictates that judges must decide the case as presented by the parties before them. They are not to go out questing for d**gons to slay (or issues to tackle) that the parties have not brought before them."

One week ago, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a 9-0 decision, authored by Justice Ginsburg, that took judges to task for similar amicus antics. Her opinion for the Court in U.S. v. Sineneng-Smith upbraided the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit for violating a basic aspect of legal proceedings called the “party presentation principle.” In a nutshell, this concept dictates that judges must decide the case as presented by the parties before them. They are not to go out questing for d**gons to slay (or issues to tackle) that the parties have not brought before them. As J. Ginsburg put it: “[C]ourts are essentially passive instruments of government … They ‘do not, or should not, sally forth each day looking for wrongs to right. [They] wait for cases to come to [them], and when [cases arise, courts] normally decide only questions presented by the parties.”

Justice Ginsberg was a Clinton appointee, like Judge Sullivan... Judges have to be stopped from Legislating from the Bench.

Apparently even they believe they have gotten out of hand.

It's a corrupt judge, no doubt!

Judge Sullivan is an ally of Obama. He is trying to complicate the matter without legal authority to hold the Gen. Flynn's verdict. He is Obama's defense at this time when all of Obama's C**PE conspirators are under investigation by Durham , and now the Senate also are in that process.

Sullivan has no shame on his position. He hired a new lawyer to handle the matter with Gen. Flynn. Why is he doing this?

I have mentioned at the BEGINNING that he could not override the authority of the Executive Branch. Sullivan broke he law. He is a lawless judge with no shame! Even SC Justice Ginsburg does not agree with him.
