Another dusky foreign born communist. What is the random probability that every Biden appointee would be a foreign born dark secret with an un-American name?

Another foreigner. Congress needs to get their lazy arses back and start impeaching these corrupt freaks.

Judges don’t decide who can and cannot be investigated. Congress should impeach this judge immediately

Little judges rule. Yay. /S

This can’t go on.
Remember before the first US Civil War the judges made controversial decisions at the expense of the people.
One was Dred Scott v. Sandford (1857), a landmark Supreme Court ruling that declared enslaved people were not and could not become citizens of the United States, and that Congress had no power to prohibit slavery in the territories.

Sotomayor clerk.

“Wise Latina” boss, Trinidadian clerk, with a memorable name of sorts.

This will get overturned so fast it will make heads spin. A judge has no authority to determine who and how investigations are handled outside of a warrent.

Way outside his authority.

“The FTC in May announced that it would open an investigation into the far-left advocacy group for their coordinated attacks on X and its advertisers.

The US Federal Trade Commission demanded documents from Media Matters about its coordination with other leftist groups to rid X of its advertisers.”

Thanks for highlighting this. Now it will be investigated twice as hard.

The democrat party liners successfully shopped - AGAIN - for a compliant Obama-Biden-Harris judge. Now some 210 cases.

And got just ONE Trump appointee in those 210 cases.

Justus. Nobody else.

Not from Mad Magazine or the Babylon Bee, apparently. Always have to check.

A judge cannot rule against having investigations. This is flagrantly beyond the judge’s authority.

This judge should herself be investigated.

A judge named “Sparkle?”
