Bad headline, lazy article.

introduced the legislation ... to have a court-appointed neutral arbitrator – known as a special master – compel the DOJ to comply with the law.

On Friday, however, the DOJ filed a motion to block that effort in the Southern District of New York, arguing that courts lack the authority to force the agency’s hand in the matter.

The DOJ filed a motion to block a special master. That's it. No one living in the US or reading the news could possibly be "floored" by that.
