Excellent point, made at greater length in this thread:

twitter.com

20) The DC Circuit is thus making Judge Sullivan--a lifetime federal judge--publicly and directly explain to them his actions.

21) In short, of all the options available to the DC Circuit for ruling on @SidneyPowell1's writ, the DC Circuit, chose the most extreme, rare, and drastic of them.

22) It has ordered (not requested) Judge Sullivan to personally (and not through appointed amicus) respond and defend his actions to them.
Sullivan should be put under full FISA surveillance to make sure he isn't getting help from his Lawfare buddies. Maybe solitary confinement?

Incredible. I saw a lot of weird and wild stuff clerking in the Civil Appeals section at the Utah Attorney General's office, but I never saw a judge ordered to file a response on any kind of interlocutory appeal. Certainly never saw it in practice to date.

He’s got some explaining to do. Probably not use to being forced to justify his actions.
