“The Court has now spent more time trying to ferret out information about the Government’s flight schedules & relations with foreign countries than it did in investigating the facts before certifying the class action in this case. That observation reflects how upside-down this case has become, as digressive micromanagement has outweighed consideration of the case’s legal issues,” the DOJ wrote [missing the point].
