Secretary's Jackson actually order actually raises other questions about the original order: While he states that the waiver of the rest of the term of the denial order is justified by the "extraordinary cooperation" of Omega, in a single, less-than-a-sentence phrase, he dismisses a multitude of other grounds for relief as having "no merit" without ever mentioning what the other claimed grounds for relief were, or why they lacked merit, in flagrant violation of the Administrative Procedures Act, knowing that as long as Omega got off on "extraordinary cooperation", they would have no reason to challenge denial of relief on all the other un-named grounds. Well Mr. Jackson, don't be so sure: You might just want to read some law for a change, like the entirety of 5 USC 552 for example, before you try burying those "meritless" arguments. You might want to prepare for spending some time in court. Ass.
