Federal judge tosses $15 billion Trump vs. New York Times case, invoking Rule 8. Then he goes scorched earth on Trump's lawyers

tl:dr - Judge just told Trump "I ain't reading all that shit, go try again."

The order starts with the phrase "As every member of the bar of every federal court knows (or is presumed to know)..."

I believe that's legalese for "Go get your fucking shinebox!"
