Jan. 13 – DOJ Files its US Supreme Court Reply in Texas Top Cop Shop

Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar submitted the Department of Justice’s reply on its request to the US Supreme Court to reverse the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals’ decision to keep in place Texas Eastern District Court Judge Mazzant’s nationwide injunction pending a decision on the merits.

Solicitor General Prelogar is a remarkable lawyer with an extraordinary career. Defending the constitutionality of the Corporate Transparency Act is a thankless assignment. One has to wonder whether the administration’s enthusiasm for a law entrusting the government with a vast database of private information in the name of crime fighting and national security might have been dampened since election night.
