• “Section 1446 establishes procedures for removal, and a ‘defect in the removal procedure’ means failure to comply with § 1446.”
• “Procedural issues [regarding removal] must be resolved quickly or not at all, and once the 30 days have passed the parties may conduct the litigation without risk of a sudden change of forum (unless it turns out that the federal court lacks jurisdiction).”

• discussing non- jurisdictional objections to removal
