help help i'm libbing out

Reyes goes off.

"You cannot tell me that transgender people are not being discriminated against." Of the Stonewall website deletion, Reyes says, "We are literally erasing their contributions to modern society. ... It screams animus."

I’ve been Liberalism pilled lately and it’s wild. I believe in democracy again, if only from an origin point of “fuck these people”

Turns out I really am invested in the idea of Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness

I made my peace with the laws, norms, and institutions being fake a long time ago but this kind of thing still scratches that lib itch.
there is a part of me that loves it when a Rules Nerd uses the rules to make these fucking idiots say "I am an idiot sandwich" during rules time in the rules room.

I was wondering when the paradox of “there’s no such thing as trans people” and “trans people aren’t allowed to do xyz” would catch up with them

Would have been great to have in 2000 but right now we will take the small victory of the fascists having to sit down and take a minor tongue lashing

Merrick Garland stans are apparently a thing and one of them was insisting that Garland’s actions were limited by DOJ regulations. The rules for the department he ran, the ones he was in charge of interpreting or changing, totally handcuffed the poor guy

the mind of the typical blue wave resist lib was BROKEN by the fact that McConnell blocked him.

he was INTENDED AS A COMPROMISE WITH THE RIGHT!
THE FACT THAT THEY TARGETED HIM DOESN'T MAKE HIM A PROGRESSIVE!
HE WOULD HAVE MOVED THE COURT LEFT REPLACING SCALIA BUT RIGHT REPLACING MANY OF THE OTHERS

The fact that he's a hero to the Hashtag Resistance demonstrates that most of the people who are "paying attention" aren't actually paying attention

Obama loved to preemptively compromise by nominating a tepid bag of goo for the Court and putting an oversized Republican in charge of the FBI, as if the right wouldn’t have boycotted a cure for cancer if it was called Obamajuice

"we super promise that we want all these progressive things but to save time we have pre-conceded half way to where we think you are, for bipartisanship"

"ok, cool, that's your opening position. Meet us halfway between there and where we are and we'll consider not pulling the football this time"

this is the bare minimum, you have the right to still be very angry. still, it's nice that ONE of these people isn't pretending they don't see this shit.

shuchancellor.online•2 days ago

Can you imagine if we had a whole judiciary of folks like Reyes, like, idk even just 2 years ago?

Law... real??

shuchancellor.online•2 days ago

It could be, if they want it to be!

pastella.bsky.social•2 days ago

Doctor morbius! I’m about to lib

rinewithoutacat.bsky.social•3 days ago

She spent several minutes going through what the Trump admin did that targeted trans people, and then went on to shout about how it's indeed bad that the govt wants to throw trans people out of homeless shelters, it's surreal and also I want more of this

shuchancellor.online•2 days ago

The judiciary can't enforce their rulings but they can tell the fascists to fuck off and that is what they should be doing

rinewithoutacat.bsky.social•2 days ago

Ok also, especially for you: Judge Reyes used the military massively discriminating against Yankee baseball fans as an example, and then went at the DOJ lawyer for being a fair-weather fan of the Nats (she's a Red Sox fan, which he admitted to being at one point), incredible, where is Sorkin

uh.mallory.wtf•3 days ago

omg I love how bad this DOJ lawyer is getting slapped around, I'm fangirling in a truly embarrassing way, have you SEEN the judge's wikipedia photo. I hope I'm ever this cool

royaldutchofdukes.bsky.social•2 days ago

There's a fucking Transylvania University and her BA is from there, I'm screaming (happily)

Oh no my parasocial feelings are intensifying. 😭

foxreels.bsky.social•2 days ago

*unaware that the super bowl was 2 weeks ago* I'm rooting for Judge Reyes etc etc

did you read the bit where she says UVA law grads are dishonorable and untrustworthy and are barred from her courtroom, makes the governments lawyer sit down, then makes him stand back up and approach and says "Did that feel like animus?"

mewyabby.bsky.social•2 days ago

She reposted it yesterday! Very good stuff. A slightly more theatrical example of the bare minimum on display!

lunarweasel.bsky.social•3 days ago

Pure, concentrated schadenfreude 💖

jane.meangirls.online•2 days ago

She should’ve kept that policy intact

forestservicehater.bsky.social•2 days ago

she should have thrown a shoe at him

forestservicehater.bsky.social•2 days ago

Ranking all law schools by how honorable their grads are. The list starts at "Mildly dishonorable" and ends with "should be jailed immediately upon graduation"

abbygator.bsky.social•2 days ago

That would be Yale

raclapper.bsky.social•2 days ago

This whole thing is fuckin beautiful

worldofcardboard.bsky.social•3 days ago

Yeah, sorry this was a full Sorkin moment in real life and my inner lib just activated.

while many of you are likely yelling “GO BIRDS!” or “GO CHIEFS!” i’m yelling “GO JUDGE ANA REYES AND THE RULE OF THE LAW!!!”

ketracelblack.bsky.social•3 days ago

Kill the lib in your head

normcharlatan.bsky.social•3 days ago

The Dril tweet but “this whole thing screams of animus” (complimentary).

dashwallkick.bsky.social•3 days ago

slapping my desk and hollering

eclectictastessa.bsky.social•2 days ago

The best part is when she said "it's libbin' time" and libbed all over those guys.

brien.rip•3 days ago

Go Ana Reyes and the rule of law!

meifumaudo.bsky.social•3 days ago

We Love to see it folks

shake1n1bake.bsky.social•2 days ago

Not a lawyer but my understanding is judges get big mad when they feel an argument being made to them is manifestly stupid.

drunkcharisma.bsky.social•3 days ago

While most libbing out is temporary if you watch more than 4 hours of the West Wing you may be suffering from a severe reaction and should immediately seek medical care.

winterpancake.bsky.social•3 days ago

It is nice when judges occasionally do the right thing
