Fortunately, in the other related case Judge Boasberg has been carefully & systematically building a contempt case against the DOJ lawyers. The Supreme Court ruling on procedural grounds yesterday does not make it moot. Remains to be seen whether a contempt verdict could be enforced, but Boasberg is a patriot doing heroic work.
That language is in the right direction of a summary, but the Court did not hold that the district court erred — merely that the district court must clarify that part of its order on remand, in light of the deference the Judiciary owes to the Executive in foreign policy matters.
