GAME ON - Judge Richard Leon in D.C. federal court has rejected a bid by the DOJ to delay today’s hearing in a lawsuit brought by federal employees suing over the Trump administration’s partial government shutdown, which, they say, is unconstitutional and in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act. The judge on Saturday rebuffed the DOJ’s motion for an 8-day delay of oral arguments to determine whether he should issue a TRO sought by employees at, among other agencies, the Department of Transportation; the Department of Agriculture; and the Department of Homeland Security. A hearing is scheduled for noon.
