Things are quiet ... too quiet
Sources differ over whether King George III actually wrote in his diary on July 4, 1776, "Nothing of importance happened today." Notwithstanding that possibly apocryphal precedent, nothing of importance seemed to happen in U.S. military justice yesterday or today.

Uhm, en banc reconsideration of US v. Bush at NMCCA...
A military prosecutor...somewhere...watching quietly like a spectator at a tennis match, during a providency inquiry, while the military judge whizzed through the script and the accused, as usual, set-up matters inconsistent with his plea. (Good enough for government work)
5 extra minutes at trial saves 5 extra months of appellate delay.
Bush was a post trial delay case and in light of CAAF's Allende decision it's not surprising that they'd take another look at it. Was t a gov't request or did NMCCA step up and see the contradiction with their ruling?

Amen, Brother.
The Navy-Marine Corps Appellate Defense division, wrapping up another workday, at 1400...
Somewhere right now, a Navy-Marine Corps appellate government counsel is drafting a brief by copying and pasting out of a brief bank, and not even bothering to change the statement of facts.
But he knows he'll still win...
Speaking of office hours, I sent a package to Appellate Government last week and the tracking information for both Thursday and Friday indicated that the package could not be delivered because nobody was in to receive it at 1530and 1615, respectively.
Glass houses. Stones.
