This isn’t anything. A “magistrate” isn’t a “real” judge in the sense of being a district court judge. They’re more like helper judges that handle small / routine matters, and often they can’t even issue orders, but issue recommendations which the district judge will sign off on. This is a big case. Every magistrate judge in the country should recognize that this is above their paygrade.
