A federal judge in Ohio ruled against the Trump administration Monday, citing bigoted comments President Trump and Vice President JD Vance made about immigrants.

U.S. District Judge Algenon Marbley ordered the White House to unfreeze immigrants’ benefit applications, citing Trump and Vance’s “outright hostility towards immigrants, both before and after the 2024 presidential elections.” These applications include filings for work authorization and green cards from people in the U.S. from countries including Burma, Canada, Iran, Nigeria, Syria, Tanzania, and Venezuela.

“Their ire appears focused on immigrants from countries in the Caribbean, South America, Africa, and Asia,” Marbley, nominated to the federal bench by President Clinton in 1997, wrote.

    It will make it to SCOTUS where a 5-4 decision will say that it’s ok.

          Most of the time they’re a right-wing extremist pretending to be a leftist or enlightened centrist. If you start probing these tankies, you see they have a blind-spot the size of Putin’s bald-spot for Chinese or Russian atrocities, and their goal is oftentimes just to try to divide-and-conquer the genuine left-leaning Americans and stop them from voting, which helps fascists.

        You’re aware that Democrats directly gave us three of those Republican SCOTUS justices, right?

          You and I have different definitions of the word, “directly,” but I think mine is at least in-line with the dictionaries just a tad bit more.

          How can Democrats directly give three Republican directly- appointed SCOTUS justices?

          Do you often blame the hero for failing to win, over the villain who made it necessary for the hero to act in the first place?

      5-4 decision

      I wouldn’t give it more than 6-3. Isn’t there 6 bigots on the big bench, or is one a wildcat?
