""The deck was always stacked against us with Judge [James] Boasberg, who is currently facing articles of impeachment,""
""You wonder how much there's an element of irritation or annoyance just at Judge Boasberg himself here, and how much of it is an institutional decision that, 'we're going to show you,'""
A federal judge ruled that Meta was not an illegal monopolist and the Federal Trade Commission announced an appeal. The FTC issued a statement expressing disappointment and also attacked the presiding judge, describing the judicial environment as 'stacked' and noting the judge faced articles of impeachment. The statement referenced articles filed after rulings unfavorable to GOP lawmakers and the Trump administration over a 2020 election probe and immigration policies. Legal experts view the appeal as unsurprising or reasonable but warn that the political attack on the judge casts a shadow over the agency's motives and institutional impartiality.
