First we had the Supreme Court rule in Trump's favor on the military paying for border wall construction. Tonight we have a Federal Judge (put on the court by Bill Clinton) ruled against the DNC in a lawsuit over Russians and Trump stealing info from the DNC computers. The Judge ruled that the DNC failed to show Trump or his team ot be connected in any way to the Russian hacking.... www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/judge-dismisses-dnc-lawsuit-against-trump-campaign-russia-wikileaks-over-hacking/ar-AAF5bE9?li=BBnbfcLAre we seeing the courts finally accepting the fact America elected Trump and he is legitimate and judges will not necessarily rule against Trump becaiuse they dislike him?

Or it means the Conservative Majority on the Supreme Court gave Trump his way because he is Conservative. Either/or.

Federal judge strikes down New Hampshire’s Medicaid work requirementsJuly 29 A federal judge has expanded the legal obstacles to the Trump administration’s efforts to compel certain poor people to get jobs in exchange for Medicaid, ruling that New Hampshire cannot move ahead with such new requirements. The ruling Monday marks the third state for which U.S. District Judge James E. Boasberg has held that federal health officials were “arbitrary and capricious” when they approved the state plans, failing to consider the requirements’ effects on low-income residents who rely on Medicaid for health coverage. link2020 Census Won’t Have Citizenship Question as Trump Administration Drops Effort ImageCourt Allows Undocumented Teens in U.S. Custody to Seek AbortionsThere are more.

Is that like trump not wanting Judge Gonzalo Curiel to hear his trump University case because the judge is Mexican-American? Talk about racist. Just one more example.

I'm going with the "a stopped clock is right 2x a day" theory - sort of even 45 is going to win SOME court cases.

the SCOTUS border wall ruling was narrow and not 100% in favor of the administration.

Apparently, U.S. District Judge Randolph Moss has not gotten the word yet he is to agree with whatever trump says and does whether it's lawful or not. After all, trump won the election.

Pentagon officials announced this week which programs would lose Defense Department funds to build the wall, The Wall Street Journal reported.
Notably, it said about $224 million would be taken from the Blended Retirement System, which combines elements of the military's retirement system with a system offering benefits similar to civilian 401(k) programs.
Other programs set to significantly lose funding: $604 million that was supposed to support Afghan security forces; $251 million in Pentagon funds for destroying US chemical weapons; and about $343 million "in spending from Air Force weapons programs where officials have negotiated reductions or canceled systems," The Journal said. Funds for construction projects for military bases across the world could also go toward the border wall.
Fuck all those veterans & their retirement. They don't matter to this administration.

mcconnell got 12 more federal judges in, they are over 100 now. His goal of packing the courts seems to be getting it done. We are going to be totally fu**** before we can get them out. If we don't we are further fu**** as our democracy will be compromised or done.

"The Senate has set an aggressive pace for fulfilling Trump’s campaign promise to appoint conservative judges," Bloomberg Law reported Monday, "so far clearing 43 appeals court judges, 86 district court judges, and Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court." Kristine Lucius, executive vice president for policy and government affairs at the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, said in a statement Tuesday that "McConnell's flagrant move to clear the deck before the Senate leaves for recess would bring Trump's total to 150 judicial appointments." "The agenda is clear: transform the courts as quickly as possible to achieve through the courts what Senate Republicans cannot accomplish legislatively," Lucius said. "Senators must put an end to this blatant disrespect to our judicial system, traditions, and democracy. They must demand that each nomination receives a roll call vote, so the public knows where their senators stand." www.commondreams.org/news/2019/07/30/democrats-urged-oppose-takeover-mcconnell-rushes-confirm-19-right-wing-judges-recess

Let us know, if we still have freedom of speech and an internet available how this will work for you. Remember once he takes control he won't be happy with just destroying dems. He will put the hammer to the repubs so he can be like little kim and start his dynasty. You people have no concept of the evil of this guy. You can already see he is amoral and I don't think he even understands the concept of compassion or sympathy for others. I really believe he is close to being a sociopath. He feels nothing for anyone or he could not do what he is. He will be the closest we ever come to either having our democracy destroyed or will do it. You better be really worried.

As you know it is only a matter of time before the pendulum swings the other way. it may surprise you to learn that it bothers me greatly that the judicial branch is becoming MORE political.
so, yeah, I am not looking forward to it swinging EITHER way.
but maybe we will see the day when it is de-politicized.
