Otherwise, the universal injunction will return from the grave under the guise of 'nationwide class relief,' and today’s decision will be of little more than minor academic interest."

B-Man Posted Monday at 05:02 PM Posted Monday at 05:02 PM MORE on the above Judge Enters New Order in Planned Parenthood Funding Case, and It May Be the Most Insane Yet Boston-based U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani has entered another ruling against the congressional defunding of Planned Parenthood, and this order may be the most insane yet. I don't just mean that in terms of this specific case, but in terms of the entirety of the judiciary since President Donald Trump began his second term. As reported, Talwani originally put in place a temporary restraining order while giving no reason to do so, violating the law in the process. With that, she sided with the plaintiffs and told the Trump administration it must keep providing Medicaid funds to members of the abortion mill's network. After a week, the judge finally got around to offering a reasoning, amending her TRO to claim that Congress defunding Planned Parenthood likely violated the First and Fifth Amendments. Even putting aside the absurdities involved in those claims, Talwani also clearly overstepped her bounds by providing standing to plaintiffs who didn't qualify. {snip} I think a lot of people would disagree with that assessment, but it would also seem to be irrelevant. What does access to contraceptives and a supposed "increase in unintended pregnancies" have to do with the legal questions at play? You can see Talwani's biases on full display throughout this injunction. Regardless, the viewpoint discrimination angle remains arguably ridiculous. It's one thing to make such a decision regarding an executive order, as those could theoretically violate laws passed by Congress. So it's at least conceivable that viewpoint discrimination could exist in a scenario where a president denies funding to an entity on political grounds that was receiving money already appropriated to it by Congress. But in this case, it was Congress that defunded Planned Parenthood. Are we to believe that if any political opposition exists to a private entity, then elected representatives, who constitutionally control the power of the purse, can't end funding for it? That's absurd on its face, and if that standard were consistently applied, it would mean essentially nothing that an opposing party disagrees with could ever be defunded. Does that sound right to anyone? https://redstate.com/bonchie/2025/07/28/judge-enters-new-order-in-planned-parenthood-funding-case-and-it-may-be-the-most-insane-yet-n2192170
B-Man Posted Wednesday at 01:16 AM Posted Wednesday at 01:16 AM Breaking: Fox can confirm the Maga- aligned US attorney in Los Angeles Bill Essayli will become ‘Acting Atty’ after his 120 day interim period expires tomorrow. Chief Judge Dolly Gee declined to take action on Essayli appointment, basically denying him a permanent spot. This is now a similar situation and mechanism to Alina Habba in Jersey.
B-Man Posted 16 hours ago Posted 16 hours ago The judges of the Northern District of California are in full-on rebellion against the Supreme Court. There was already an attempt to stop the administration from ending TPS for Venezuelans. The Supreme Court stayed that on July 7th. Now a different Judge Trina Thompson - in a case materially indistinguishable from the Venezuelan case involving TPS for Honduras, Nicaragua, and Nepal - again enjoined the administration from terminating TPS. John Roberts needs to put his foot down. For all the nonsense talk of President Trump defying court orders, it is liberal lower court judges like Trina Thompson who are defying the Supreme Court.
