Pillard weak sauce IRS ruling

von Flint: Internal Revenue Service

An Obama appointee on the DC Circuit just dismissed the IRS's defense as "weak sauce" in a formal opinion. Judge Cornelia Pillard's ruling goes against letting taxpayer data reach DHS. The court's reasoning, spelled out in Section III.D tied to the Nov. 21, 2025 order, calls out the government's position as lacking merit. Rogue judges making fools of themselves, exactly.
