Langbord update

SanctionIISanctionII Posts: 12,590 ✭✭✭✭✭
I just happened to check the case docket for the Langbord appeal today.

Yesterday the court of appeal issued an order denying the Langbords' request for permission to file an opening brief in the appeal that exceeds the "word limit" for a brief. The court is requiring that the Langbords file their opening brief in the appeal 30 days from yesterday.

After the Langbords file their opening brief the government is required to file its brief in the appeal (which is supposed to address the matters raised in the Langbords opening brief and set for the government's position on the appeal). After the government files its brief, the Langbords may then file a reply brief that responds to the matters contained in the government's brief. After these three briefs are filed, the case will proceed to where there is a hearing before the court of appeal at which time the attorneys for both sides will present oral argument to the court. At the conclusion of oral argument the case will be submitted to the court of appeal for decision. It is also possible (but highly unlikely) that both sides will waive oral argument and submit the case to the court of appeal on the briefs only.

So things are starting to move in the case again.

    Court of appeal denying a brief because of a "word limit"? LOL.

    If I were the judge I'd just say, "The plaintiff gets 5, the defendant gets 5". Case dismissed, next case.

    The first business of the court is to ensure continued business, therefore you cannot be a Judge. Sorry.

    Judge is the boss. Not surprised that lawyers used too many words.

    so, exactly who appoints a federal judge and who issues the paycheck for a federal judge? image

    I wonder what the Feds have spent trying and appealing this case? People wonder why our government is such a mess. Its not only the President and the Legislature causing all the problems.

    That to me is one of the most compelling issues of this whole thing. Someone in the justice dept. got a hold of this, and will. not. let it. go. This is not a faceless government going after the $20s, it is a very specific person.

    Who is that person, and what is their story? That story may be just as intriguing as Izzy Switt's connections in the Mint.

    Israel Switt is a numismatic hero (a visionary and a genius). Who cares what the media and corrupt politicians or lawyers say ?
    Look how many jobs he created in all those other fields.

    Yep. It is a kangaroo court all the way. I wish they would just melt these things and not waste taxpayers' dollars shipping them around the country to show to people who are are not interested. Government lawyers work for a salary so they don't care what the case is, and government judges had their minds made up before the arguments were presented. So why waste time with this case? Heat up the melting pot and be done with it. The government bought the one coin that is "legal" so the hell with it. There are two of these coins in the Smithsonian, and that is all we need.
