Oh Shit, Darrell!

Federal judge slaps down Darrell Issa over request for shutdown exception

A federal judge was less than amused when Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) requested that a lawsuit he filed two years ago be allowed to move forward in spite of the fact that federal courts have been immobilized by the Republican shutdown of the U.S. government. According to Think Progress, Judge Amy Berman Jackson refused to consider violating the shutdown to handle the case, saying that it’s ridiculous for Issa to make the request, considering his caucus’ role in ordering the government to close.

In other words, Jackson told Issa that if he wants to continue his quixotic campaign against the White House and Department of Justice, he and his cohorts in the House should lift the shutdown order. Otherwise, he can wait for the government to reopen like the “vast majority of litigants.”

IOW GFY!

Issa is like Vetteman, a man who has made a career out of avoiding responsibility for his own shortcomings.

I guess the Republicans thought the shutdown only applied to Proles.
