Judge William Young’s opinion reads like a mini-novel (based only on having read the first and last pages so far).

In light of the felon’s speech at the Pentagon today — its significance is all the more great. Fu*k Donald Trump and God bless America.

Post card dated June 19, 2025
(On file in Chambers)
19S4vE 2025
TRUMP HAS PARDONS AND TANKS..
WHAT DO
YOU
HAVE
Dear Mr. or Ms. Anonymous,
Alone, I have nothing but my
sense of duty.
Together, We the People of the
United States -- you and me --have our magnificent Constitution.
Here's how that works out in a
specific case --
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
DISTRICT OF MASSACHUSETTS

A hearing on remedy will promptly be scheduled.
BY THE COURT,

/s/ William G. Young
WILLIAM G. YOUNG
JUDGE of the
UNITED STATES (65)

I hope you found this
helpful. Thanks for writing.
It shows you care. You should.
Sincerely & respectfully,
Bill Young
P.S. The next time you're in Boston [the postmark on the card is from the Philadelphia area] stop in at the Courthouse and watch your fellow citizens, sitting as jurors, reach out for justice.
It is here, and in courthouses just like this one, both state and federal, spread throughout our land that our Constitution is most vibrantly alive, for it is well said that "Where a jury sits, there burns the lamp of liberty."

(65) This is how my predecessor, Peleg Sprague (D. Mass. 1841-1865), would sign official documents. Now that I'm a Senior
District Judge I adopt this format in honor of all the judicial colleagues, state and federal, with whom I have had the privilege to serve over the past 47 years.

NJ Gov. candidate Sherrill: I have a different kind of background, so I'll be a different kind of governor. Navy helicopter pilot, federal prosecutor, member of Congress, and mom of 4 kids. I will make government more accountable to you, safer, and more affordable. I am fighting for all of you

We are not at war with Venezuela and NO President can go to war without Congress.

Trump's illegal strikes in the Caribbean have already killed 21 people, with no evidence that they are who Trump says.

This puts us all at risk, so I voted to END these dangerous abuses of power.

Sherrill: Ship, shipmate, self. It's a saying in the Navy. Means the mission comes first, the sailors come second, and as a leader, you come last. That's the kind of governor I'll be. Our mission is to drive down costs for families. I will work every single day to be worthy of that mission.

He just decided he’d get a check-up while he’s there. Leavitt said the felon “is considering going to the Middle East shortly thereafter.”

Per @wsj.com, Trump’s DOJ is still actively investigating John Brennan, Chris Wray, John Bolton, Leticia James & others.

“Former officials have received subpoenas in recent days in the Wray inquiry”

Past comparisons to Nixon/Watergate seem silly now in light of new crimes the felon commits.
