1. The other day I posted that the US and El Salvador have an extradition treaty and that SCOTUS could have issued a writ of mandamus to Trump/Rubio to extradite him -- but didn't.
I don't know whether the judge was asked to enter an order of mandamus.
A writ of mandamus is a court order compelling a lower court, government official, or agency to perform a specific act that they are legally obligated to do. It's used when there's no other adequate legal remedy to force compliance with a clear legal duty. In essence, it's a way to ensure that those in authority follow the law and fulfill their official duties.
2. Yesterday, Cody Balmer, Harrisburg, Pa celebrated Passover by firebombing his Jewish governor. Passover is the holiday that Jews comemorate freedom from slavery.
THAT SHOULD BE BIG NEWS.
Please remember the 11 dead at Tree of Life Synagogue, Pittsburgh, 2018.
