Southwest Airlines on Tuesday said it will appeal a Texas federal judge’s unusual order requiring three of its senior lawyers to attend “religious liberty training” by a prominent conservative Christian legal group.

    It sounds like the judge is doing it because the lawyers failed to carry out the original order. Judges can be assholes if you defy them.

      A judge who orders anyone to attend a class held by the ADF ought to be removed from the bench. They’re as interested in religious liberty as a shark is interested in veganism.

        The way I read it is that he was pissed that they didn’t carry out the original order by the court, so he was just shelling out a punishment that would get his point across.

        Maybe I’m reading too much into it. 🤷
