Meadows removal

As we know, former Trump chief of staff Mark Meadows removed the Georgia prosecution under § 1442; the district court ordered remand. As your preparation of § 1447(d) tells you, that is appealable. Meadows appealed and requested that it be expedited; argument will take place this Friday morning, via zoom. Also, the court of appeals ordered the parties to brief whether a former federal office holder (one not in office at the time the action commences) can remove. Recording of the argument may be available as early as Friday afternoon; check the 11th Circuit web site.

When I said the material in this class makes the news, I was not kidding.
