Procedurally this tweet undersells the import of the opinion. Appeals court isn't simply affirming a lower court's dismissal; it's granting a writ of mandamus to COMPEL a lower judge to act.
One of the best parts: today's ruling was a direct slap in the face to Barack Obama. It was Obama who told Sullivan to ignore refuse the DOJ's plea of dismissal. Obama just got blown the fuck out.
