A rare weekend hearing is taking place at the US 9th Circuit Court of Appeals as judges consider a lawsuit filed by the Trump administration challenging California’s mail-in ballot practices. According to reports, during oral argument two judges pressed a Justice Department lawyer, indicating skepticism about aspects of the government’s case.
The outlets describe the procedural posture similarly: ABC News emphasizes that the court is holding Sunday arguments in the Justice Department’s voting suit against California, while the Jerusalem Post focuses on the tone and substance of questioning during a weekend session. Beyond the scheduling and courtroom exchange, the summaries provided do not detail specific legal claims, ballot rules at issue, or what the panel ultimately decides, leaving those outcomes to be covered in later reporting.
