Microsoft Corp. There, the court held that “the public interest standard did not empower the district judge to reject the remedies sought in the consent decree merely because he believed other remedies were preferable.”70 The “public 59 Id. at 745. 60 Id. at 741 (quoting Cmty. For Creative Non-Violence x. Xxxxxx, 786 F.2d 1199, 1201 (D.C. Cir. 1986)). 61 Id. at 741 (quoting Xxxxxx, 786 F.2d at 1201). 62 Id. at 741. 63 Fokker II, supra note 9, at 741 (quoting Xxxxx v.

Cir. 1995) (internal quotation marks omitted)). interest” language simply acknowledges that a district court can refuse to accept a proposed consent decree “that, on its face and even after government explanation, appears to make a mockery of judicial power.”71 The court stated that neither the “leave of court” language in Rule 48(a) nor the “public interest” language in the Xxxxxx Act authorized an expansion of judicial power into the realm of charging decisions—a core Executive power.72 The functionally equivalent “approval of the court” language in the Speedy Trial Act, then, could not be read to confer “broader authority…to scrutinize prosecutorial charging choices.”73 Thus the district court “significantly overstepped its authority” in rejecting a DPA “based on a belief that the prosecution had been unduly lenient.”74 The D.C. Circuit undoubtedly reached the right result but ducked the real issue. Judge Leon’s Memorandum Opinion did not hold that the Speedy Trial Act empowers courts to deny exclusion of time because a DPA is too lenient. Rather, he posited that the supervisory power obliged him to reject a DPA when necessary to preserve the integrity of the court. The circuit court did not reject the notion that a district judge is empowered to counter executive action when faced with a threat to judicial integrity.75 However, it refused to answer the question: when is a district court authorized to draw that line? By leaving the issue unresolved, the upshot is an opinion that encourages automatic approval of DPAs and greater imbalance in our system of separated powers.
