Anyone know who appointed the judge?
illegal payments....
More winning.
Why is he an “honest judge”?
His ruling was based on whether or not the payments would be worthwhile or not. THAT IS A LEGISLATIVE ISSUE.
He did not rule that the payments could not be restored because they violated the Appropriations clause of the Constitution, which is the ONLY issue that is of any relevance to an Article III judge.
This federal judge is a hero as far as I am concerned.
Requires???? I thought the reimbursements were deemed unconstitutional?
Not so fast on the honest judge part. The message was sent out with the SCOTUS mooting the travel ban under the Munsingwear doctrine.
Too bad the next stop is the 9th circus. They ought to have an injunction decree by Friday.
An Obama appointment, I believe.
The judge should have said...err...I’m a just, why are you bringing!e a spending request?

The important part is he doesn’t think it likely the AGs will win so he can’t give them an injunction to require the payments resume.
None of the judge’s business. The judge chose wisely.
The illegality was looting FANNIE/FREDDIE to pay them in the first place.
