“Once I issue an order, it’s my intent to enforce it,“ Judge Lamberth told the government. And: Facing the Trump administration's ridiculousness. Until the elevator door closes.
This is another of so many incidents wherein persons in or affiliated with the current administration flout the law of this land. Seemingly, if one does not agree with something, anything, legal, civil or moral, the solution is to simply disregard it. Thus civilizations decay.
"Transgender" people do not exist. "Law" does not exist. I'm sure there are many other devoutly religious superstitions you statists faithfully believe in. But why?
Let’s be honest about one thing: the Bureau of Prisons has a long, ugly habit of ignoring federal court orders until somebody forces compliance. Judges know it. Lawyers know it. Inmates definitely know it. So yes—if Lamberth wants to remind the BOP that court orders aren’t optional, that’s overdue. But here’s the strategic problem: choosing transgender medical treatment as the hill to die on is lousy politics and lousy optics. If Congress really wants leverage over the BOP, spend a fraction of that money improving conditions for the whole prison population—more food, basic dignity, maybe bacon on weekends. Fix the system broadly, not through culture-war theater.
Wow (as to the man not speaking). If only he had been masked, we might have a better idea of who he is.
The others departing the elevator is off the charts.
Once again, the small-mindedness of this “administration” is enormous.
Agreed—they are all ridiculous. And petty, and mean-spirited, and … the list is endless, and my patience short.
"“You are all ridiculous,” I simply said." Out-fucking-standing, no notes
Wow. Just... wow.
