A federal judge on Monday said she was “furious” with the Trump administration’s move over the weekend to cut down at least 430 trees from a Washington, DC, public golf course that President Donald Trump is seeking to renovate.
US District Judge Ana Reyes, who is overseeing a legal challenge to Trump’s plans to overhaul the East Potomac Golf Course, put a tentative hold on any further tree removal and is holding an emergency hearing Monday, in which she told Justice Department attorneys they had lost “credibility” with her because they gave less than a day’s notice before cutting down the trees.
“More than just being upset and furious right now, I am just beyond disappointed with the government,” Reyes said. When a DOJ attorney said they had done their “best” to give her and the plaintiffs a heads-up, the judge said, her voice raised, “No, you did your absolute worst.”
“I am thoroughly unamused right now,” Reyes also said.
I was speaking of within the legal profession. I agree with you. But within the legal profession it had previously had an impeccable record.
Remember both Schwartz and Snowden violated laws. Though just because something is a law doesn’t make it good or right. But the legal profession was doing what the legal profession was supposed to at the time. At least in a minimal sense. Even if not an equal application. Now any pretense of them actually doing the job they’re supposed to is gone. They are just a fascist lap dog purely now.
