From yesterday's published order in W.M.M. v. Trump (en banc), by Chief Judge Jennifer Walker Elrod: In response to questions at oral argument and a later directive from the court, counsel for petitioners and the government revealed that the government has removed the three original named petitioners in this case. As there are currently no named petitioners in this appeal who are still in the United States, petitioners have moved to add five new class representatives on appeal—a motion that we deny today. Petitioners have also moved for these five proposed class representatives to proceed pseudonymously on appeal, as well as for the sealing of their unredacted motion to add class representatives. The government does not oppose either motion. But "the parties' consent does not end the analysis when determining whether pseudonymization is appropriate. Instead, the court must conduct its own balancing of the public and private interests at stake." We DENY these motions without prejudice to any future determination by the district court regarding whether to allow any new class representatives to proceed under pseudonyms or whether to seal a motion adding class representatives. "What transpires in the court room is public property." Indeed, disclosure is generally favored. And "[p]ublic naming of litigants is one aspect of the broader 'presumption, long supported by courts, that the public has a common-law right of access to judicial records.'" Thus, "[a] strong presumption against party pseudonymity is generally well settled." Of course, this presumption can give way in appropriate circumstances… [O]ur court has articulated "three factors common to anonymous-party suits that … 'deserve considerable weight'" in determining whether to allow parties to use pseudonyms: "(1) whether the plaintiff is 'challeng[ing] governmental activity'; (2) whether the plaintiff will be required to disclose information 'of the utmost intimacy'; and (3) whether the plaintiff will be 'compelled to admit [his] intention to engage in illegal conduct, thereby risking criminal prosecution.'" … We have also considered, among other things, "the showing of possible threatened harm." These considerations do not weigh in favor of allowing the proposed new representatives to proceed pseudonymously here. First, while the petitioners certainly challenge governmental activity, "in only a very few cases challenging governmental activity can anonymity be justified." Where "plaintiffs [a]re suing private individuals rather than a government agency," a court may find "more reason not to grant the plaintiffs' request for anonymity." But that a plaintiff sues the government… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago - Trump Demands Navy Use Steam ‘Catapult’ Jet Launchers in Rejection of Modern...
A fighter jet prepares for take off in a 2024 file photo. Mari Yamaguchi/AP Photo The Navy could end up spending billions to satisfy a new demand from President Donald Trump to rip out the high-tech electromagnetic systems it uses to launch jets from its newest class of aircraft carriers in favor of older, steam-powered catapults. Trump signed a national security memo on Thursday, commanding the change for the nation’s Gerald R. Ford class of aircaft carriers, according to an exclusive report in The Wall Street Journal. The last ship in America’s fleet built using steam catapults was the USS George H.W. Bush, constructed in 2009, according to the outlet, which cited one expert who believed replacing electromagnetic catapults with the older methods would cost billions. “Electric is more reliable,” Brian Clark, of the Washington think tank the Hudson Institute, told The Journal. “If I can turn these components to be electric instead of steam, it eliminates all the steam-related mechanical parts.” Nearly a decade ago, that wasn’t the case. The tech was less reliable during Trump’s first term, The Journal explained, pointing to a Trump pledge in a 2017 interview with Time to get the Navy to return to using “goddamn steam.” But now steam-powered catapults are so out of date, re-introducing them would be a feat unto itself, according to Navy Outlook. [Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System] is therefore integrated deeply into the architecture of the ship, crossing 48 separate ship construction zones. Removing it from a mature design would have consequences extending far beyond the machinery immediately underneath the flight deck. A steam catapult requires high-pressure steam to be drawn from the propulsion plant and distributed through substantial pipework to the catapult machinery, along with the associated water, condensation and maintenance arrangements. The spaces and infrastructure necessary to support this equipment were deliberately designed out of Ford. The move quickly drew critics, including Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ), an astronaut and retired Navy captain who logged more than 5,000 flight hours and more than 375 carrier landings during his years of service, according to his official biography. “I’ve launched off the front of aircraft carriers hundreds of times, have a Master’s degree in aeronautical engineering, and am a test pilot and even I wouldn’t suggest to the Navy how to engineer specific systems on its ships. Donald Trump should stick to what he knows best — ballrooms, bankruptcy, and… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago - The Molotovs headline King’s Cross Summer Sounds opening night
