      Christ they know how to play this population.

      Every time we all breath a sigh of relief that some new policy to force toddlers to work in slaughterhouses got shot down in court, we’re likely missing the 30 odd, convoluted deregulation policies that slip right past the new cycle because they’re written in legalese and seem abstract to 99% of non-wealthy Americans.

        Maybe you misunderstood the problem.

        This wasn’t legislation, this was an implemented order. This isn’t the first time it’s happened in the administration either.

        It restored something taken away. It undermined the sweeping power of the executive. These are narcissists we’re dealing with, so this isn’t the last we’ve heard about it.

        That’s why I keep telling people the courts will use their enforcement mechanism when necessary, or they are complicit in the problem. From what I can tell, enforcement wasn’t necessary here, the DoD just didn’t want to fuck with the court.
