A federal judge in Texas this week blocked the Biden administration from prioritizing (grants) in a COVID-19 restaurant relief program by their race or gender.
U.S. District Judge Reed O’Connor, a George W. Bush nominee, said he believes plaintiff Philip Greer, a cafe owner, is likely to succeed in his lawsuit against the Small Business Association (SBA) as he granted a request for a temporary restraining order (TRO).
[snip]“The Small Business Administration lurches America dangerously backward, reversing the clock on American progress, and violating our most sacred and revered principles by actively and invidiously discriminating against American citizens solely based upon their race and sex. This is illegal, it is unconstitutional, it is wrong, and it must stop,” his (lawsuit) states.
Ha!!! Those ‘professors’ will not like that!
BTW-If merit and academic achievement are not the first considerations, is THAT really ‘science’ ... I??
About time!
If any organization should be prohibited from discrimination based on race, gender, ethnicity and such, it’s the Federal Government.
Finally, a little sanity. For now at least.
And he should be in jail for trying it!
1. I need the court to impose this TRO because I will be irreparably harmed if the defendant's actions are allowed to proceed while this case is working its way through the court system.
2. I am likely to prevail in the case no matter how long it takes, so I should be given the benefit of this temporary order while the case is being fought.
When the judge considered this ruling, Item #1 wasn't really a consideration. The case is basically being contested over money, and money is actually one of the things that is hardly ever the basis of "irreparable harm" in a court case. It's not like the guy is suing over something that is a threat to his health and safety. Whether he wins the case five years from now or five weeks from now, he'll get the money he's suing for.
So the judge probably issued this ruling entirely on the basis of Item #2, which means the likelihood that the plaintiff will ultimately win the case is very, very high.
This is illegal, it is unconstitutional, it is wrong, and it must stop,” his (lawsuit) states.
Nice to see this judge call out this garbage the left is pushing for what it is.
You didn’t build that!
Yeah, but wait for the appellate decision.
5th circuit I think. Time for the racist in chief to punt.
Fascinating that this “administration” (er, criminal enterprise) finds it OK to discriminate in government grants and contracting.
That takes us back to 1963!
If it’s OK to do that now, then can the white states start reserving contracts and money for white businesses only?
Right. Didn’t think so. The riots would be never ending.
About time a judge puts a stop to growing racism and bias by the government.
They were doing that with Covid shots here in NYS...saying it was more equitable. BS.
Seems we do have laws against discrimination and the libtards are breaking them. File more lawsuits.
Gender? You mean sex.
Gender is a fraudulent behavioral term for normalizing perversity.
I wonder what the difference is between Biden’s plan and Trump’s? I’m not defending Biden, but this was one of two major things Trump did that I did not like.
This is good news. Hope it’s not shot down by liberal activists judge.
Democrat party founded on racism.
How mush doe a billboard cost?
