The judge is abusing her power.
Years ago I used to disagree, silently, with a FReeper who posted “nothing will improve based on our reliance on the ballot box.”
Now I see how working within the system of “justice” is a childish and naive pursuit like hoping Santa will bring us something we want.
I still admire Trump and his people for at least trying to get some good out of the system.
Since these law firm have an income producing asset (guaranteed access to government restricted areas)... then that access should be taxable. No different than any other assets.
They are afterall claiming it was taken unjustly from them... it logically follows that something can’t be taken from them if it hadn’t been owned by them. They are admitting it was an asset, so did they report this on any tax forms? If not then they are committing tax fraud.
