i woke up on a thursday
00:06
and read that the postmaster general had
00:09
instituted
00:10
uh this is la 2020 during the election
00:13
had instituted slow down procedures
00:16
that were going to make it very
00:17
difficult to deliver mail-in ballots on
00:20
time to the voters
00:21
and then to pick them up collect them
00:23
and send the vote send them in
00:25
to election officials by friday night
00:28
my team and i had filed a lawsuit
00:30
against donald trump
00:32
against louis de joy the postmaster
00:34
general
00:35
and the post office of the united states
00:37
u.s postal service
00:39
so we filed the suit in the
00:42
district federal district courts in d.c
00:45
and we drew judge sullivan i’m already
00:48
out of his court so i’m not seeking
00:50
favor
00:50
he’s one of the best judges i’ve ever
00:52
appeared before
00:54
and i’ve appeared before judges across
00:55
the country he issued an
00:57
injunction against the postal service
01:00
and there were seven or eight
01:01
injunctions
01:02
three or four in his court and three or
01:05
four around the country
01:06
so we weren’t the only law firm doing
01:08
this but we
01:10
think to a major extent the preliminary
01:13
injunction
01:14
basically precluding any further slow
01:17
down procedures
01:18
we think that had a very salutary effect
01:22
on mail-in ballots and getting them
01:24
delivered and getting them counted
01:26
and i count that i count that as one of
01:29
my happiest moments in the law when i
01:31
saw that preliminary injunction
01:33
and to get the opportunity to appear we
01:36
did it by zoom
01:37
which makes it kind of intimate you know
01:39
you see a federal judge walk away from
01:41
the camera
01:42
with his shirt tail out he kind of makes
01:44
it more human
01:45
it was a wonderful experience
