    the headline makes it sound like they chose to do this but in reality it was because the courts made them because the original decision was unconstitutional. :)

        I am so glad to see somebody upholding their oath to support and defend the constitution.

        I wish the President would do the same, the slob

      I’m pleasantly surprised it wasn’t just ignored. Not like anyone would have enforced it.

      Deep down I knew there was no chance it wasn’t forced. They’re actively ignoring other court orders so I guess even these evil fucks sometimes realize to pick their battles.

        They’re fully aware most of their policies are going to get shot down in court, that’s why they’re carpet bombing the US with bullshit right now.

        If we all breath a sigh of relief that some new policy to force toddlers to work in slaughterhouses got shot down, we’re likely missing the 30 odd, convoluted deregulation policies that slip right past the new cycle because they’re written in legalese and seem abstract to 99% of non-wealthy Americans.

        I don’t know how many times I can scream that they’re robbing us blind while distracting us with stupid cultural nonsense.

          100% they’re literally diarrhoea-shitting policies up the wall and seeing which fecal stains the courts and the economy miss or don’t care about.

          Oh I know. Climate change is getting accelerated as fuck right now. And so many other things you cannot even know what to be most concerned about

            Actually, if the economy crashes (like under the pandemic) that will slow climate change quicker than our proposed mitigation plans.

      I’m still glad to see that the military, at least, is still respecting court orders.
