Joseph Backes Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 (edited) President Biden's June 30 edict on the last of the U.S. government's files related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy faces a challenge in San Francisco federal court this week. The plaintiff is the Mary Ferrell Foundation (MFF), sponsor of the internet's largest searchable database of records related to the assassination of the 35th president some 60 years ago. The Foundation is non-profit, non-partisan organization, based in Ipswich, Massachusetts. The Foundation is seeking an injunction to block Biden's approval of a CIA-authored 'Transparency Plan' that keeps thousands of JFK documents out of public view indefinitely. The Foundation is represented by attorneys Bill Simpich, a Bay Area civil rights lawyer, and Larry Schnapf, a New York environmental lawyer. Judge Richard Seeborg, senior judge in the 9th circuit of the federal courts, has canceled oral arguments, originally scheduled for Thursday, July 13. Attorneys in the case expect Judge Seeborg to rule within thirty days. For more information on the MFF v. Biden lawsuit, see the Foundation’s JFK Records Lawsuit page. News Briefing The Mary Ferrell Foundation will hold a news briefing about the lawsuit on Wednesday July 12 at 11 a.m. in the Federal Bar Association Media Center on the first floor of the Phillip Burton Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse, 450 Golden Gate Ave, in San Francisco. Attorney Bill Simpich, Mary Ferrell Foundation vice president Jefferson Morley, and author David Talbot will speak and answer questions. Reporters, podcasters, and bloggers are welcome to attend. Simpich, Morley, and Talbot will talk about the legal theory guiding MFF v. Biden, the latest JFK revelations, and the politics of JFK in the 2024 election. If you want to support the Mary Ferrell Foundation in the fight for full JFK disclosure, click here. From me: I don't think the cancellation of oral arguments is a good sign. We'll see.

Based upon the information provided in the briefs the Judge doesn't need to hear. Yeah, canceling oral argument typically means the judge has made up his mind. Sometimes, however, it also means he doesn't want to give the party he disagrees with another chance to make further points against his position. What bothers me is the cancellation deprives Bill and Larry of the chance to explain what Biden's last minute attempt to kill the Act means in case the judge doesn't get it. That is, if he decides for the defendants the JFK Act is no more. I think that is one of their strongest arguments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin Cole Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 I guess we should look into Judge Seeborg's background. Wikipedia is rather light: Richard Gus Seeborg[1] (born November 4, 1956) is the chief United States district judge of the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. He formerly served as a United States Magistrate Judge in the same district. Early life and education[edit] Born in Landstuhl, Germany, Seeborg earned a Bachelor of Arts in history summa cum laude from Yale University in May 1978 and then earned a Juris Doctor from Columbia Law School in 1981.[2] From 1981 to 1982, Seeborg served as a law clerk to judge John H. Pratt of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.[2][3] Career[edit] In 1982, Seeborg joined the San Francisco law firm of Morrison & Foerster as an associate.[2] He became a partner with the firm in 1987.[2] In 1991, Seeborg left Morrison & Foerster to become an Assistant United States Attorney for the Northern District of California in San Jose, California.[2] He served in that post until 1998, when he returned to Morrison & Foerster, working as a partner and focusing on a litigation practice in the fields of securities, intellectual property, and general commercial matters.[2][3] Federal judicial service[edit] On February 9, 2001, Seeborg became a United States Magistrate Judge for the United States District Court for the Northern District of California.[2][3] On August 7, 2009, President Barack Obama nominated Seeborg to be a United States district judge on the United States District Court for the Northern District of California.[4] On October 15, 2009, the United States Senate Committee on the Judiciary voted to send Seeborg's nomination to the full Senate.[5] The Senate confirmed Seeborg by unanimous consent on December 24, 2009. He received his commission on January 4, 2010.[3] He became Chief Judge on February 1, 2021, after Phyllis J. Hamilton assumed senior status.[6] Notable rulings[edit] On March 6, 2019, Seeborg ruled that U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross could not add a question about citizenship to the 2020 United States Census.[7][8] On April 8, 2019, Seeborg ruled that non-Mexican asylum seekers did not have to stay in Mexico while awaiting their court proceedings.[9] ---30--- So, appointed by President Obama, and received unanimous, bipartisan support in US Senate. Obviously, a very smart guy. I have noticed that appointees who receive bipartisan support tend to be state apparatchiks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
