Judge halts Trump and Barr law enforcement report, citing commission's lack of diversity
2020-10-04
[CBSNews] A federal judge's ruling on Thursday stopped next month's expected release of a report from a presidential commission created to study American law enforcement. Judge John Bates
...senior district judge of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia appointed by President George W. Bush, ordered President Trump to reinstate DACA. At age 73, he likely will be replaced by President Trump in his next term...
ruled that the commission, comprised solely of current and former law enforcement officials, lacked the diversity necessary to address issues plaguing policing.

None of the 18 commissioners appointed to "study a broad range of issues regarding law enforcement and the criminal justice system," and then make recommendations to the president through the report, have any background in "criminal defense, civil rights, or community organization," Bates noted in his decision.

#1  ???

Based upon what authority other than that which the judge granted himself?

It's a board internal to the executive. Period. Pure violation of separation of powers.
