Don't know about courts, but Ball was pardoned before convicted, while awaiting trial on J6 charge? (@rparloff.bsky.social?)

NEW: The Justice Department now says Donald Trump’s sweeping pardons for Jan. 6 rioters covers unrelated gun charges some faced after the FBI searched their homes.

It’s moving to drop felony charges against Daniel Ball and Elias Costianes.

Guessing, but sounds like 2d Cir will remand to Hellerstein to reconsider -- under standard that 2d Cir clarifies -- whether good cause to remove, rather than, as Trump seeks, move appeal directly to 2d Cir now. State appeal proceeds (absent stay) until Hellerstein ruling & any appeals therefrom.

@forbes.com, I believe this misrepresents what @stevevladeck.bsky.social said -- he said the law allows what happened *in NDNY* but distinguished that from the Habba situation. bsky.app/profile/stev...

If President could withdraw nomination and then name First Assistant —> Acting, SCOTUS would have said so here, no?
July 25, 2025 at 12:44 AM
NLRB seems to assume once nominated, you’re always a nominee ineligible under (b)(1)? At the relevant time Solomon was not a nominee, and later withdrawal of nom still didn’t make him eligible?
July 24, 2025 at 11:01 PM
It says more than that. The President can’t appoint the “first assistant” to be the acting officer if her nomination was *submitted,* not just if it’s *pending.* Withdrawing the nomination doesn’t change the fact that it was submitted:

This will be challenged.

Can it be corrected before amendment? This case dismissed without leave to amend. x.com/asfleischman...
