Have You Noticed That...

With Trump it is always someone else's fault, it is never his! So when a judge rules against him it must be a fault of the judge. So a lesbian judge on a trans case must be biased... you know the whole alphabet thing, you know LGBT. Don't they all stick together?

Court official dismisses Justice Department’s misconduct complaint against a federal judge in DC

A court official has dismissed a Justice Department complaint that accused a federal judge of “hostile and egregious” misconduct during hearings for a lawsuit challenging President Donald Trump’s ban on transgender troops serving in the military.

The complaint accused U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes in Washington, D.C., of inappropriately questioning a government lawyer about his religious beliefs and of trying to embarrass the attorney with a rhetorical exercise during a February hearing.

In a Sept 29 order that wasn’t made public until Monday, Chief Judge Sri Srinivasan of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit dismissed the complaint. Srinivasan said a motion for Reyes’ recusal would have been the proper means for the Justice Department to contest her impartiality and seek her removal from the case.

Because she is a lesbian they don't think she should have the case. Hmm... I wonder if they feel the same way when a question on "religious freedom" comes up and not having a Christian hear the case?

The website Law Dork writes...

On Friday evening, Bloomberg News’s Erik Larson and Zoe Tillman reported that Chad Mizelle had filed a judicial complaint with the chief judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit accusing U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes of “hostile and egregious misconduct“ during the two-day hearing over the constitutionality of President Donald Trump’s anti-transgender military executive order.

[...]

The extremely weak grounds for Mizelle’s complaint are discussed at length below, but, broadly speaking, this is a clear effort to “work the refs” that should be quickly shut down as unjustified and inappropriate. It is, first, an attempt to undermine the credibility and eventual ruling from the district court judge in the case. Second, it is an effort to begin arguing the merits of the case to the chief judge of the D.C. Circuit.

Beyond that, though, Mizelle’s complaint could send a significantly more chilling message about judicial independence to judges in more right-leaning circuits — making Srinivasan’s response here all the more important.

Another part that Mizelle ignored — and perhaps more central to this complaint — is that Reyes raised the email in reference to the outside animosity that has been sent her way due to her role as the judge on the case. These directed attacks on Reyes have included Fox News’s Laura Ingraham accusing Reyes of bias because she is a lesbian hearing a case over one of Trump’s anti-transgender orders.

You know the Republicans think of us as a one large monolithic block,

The Republicans just think that we are all alike, hopping from one bed to another and bring hyper-masculine they can't even wrap their heads around us, why anyone would give up male privilege is beyond them. 

Meanwhile the Advocate writes,

Reyes, a lesbian and an immigrant from Uruguay, is hearing a case known as Talbott v. Trump, filed by six active-duty trans service members and two people who want to enlist. They are represented by GLBTQ Legal Advocates and Defenders (GLAD Law) and the National Center for Lesbian Rights. The suit was filed January 28 in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia to challenge Donald Trump’s anti-trans executive order, now being implemented by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. A second lawsuit has been filed against the military policy as well.

The lawyer from GLAD also help us and the other New England states pass their non-discrimination laws.

“You and I both agree that the greatest fighting force that world history has ever seen is not going to be impacted in any way by less than 1 percent of the soldiers using a different pronoun than others might want to call them. Would you agree with that?” Reyes asked Lynch, who responded, “No, Your Honor, I’m not. I can’t agree with that.” She also challenged GLAD Law attorney Jennifer Levi about whether discharging this small number of troops would harm readiness.

[...]

She said of Trump’s “two genders” executive order, the basis for his other anti-trans actions, “There are people who are neither male nor female, and so the premise of the executive order is just incorrect.” These actions are motivated by “unadulterated animus,” she said.

They know that they are losing... so they are fighting dirty. Or rather dirtier than usual.

You never truly appreciate your rights until a judge has to rule on your existence!
