Slowly being strangled by pedantic following of the law sucks so much.

Dems are in desperate need of creative strategies that Harry Reid, and others used to muster.

Then he's worthless, and he just taught them that they can disregard every word he says.

We went through this in Ohio with gerrymandered maps. Illegal actions have to have consequences or you're just encouraging them to continue to break the law.

"The FLRA enforces labor laws for the federal workforce. The agency has been without a general counsel since 2017, meaning that unions must go through arbitration before appealing decisions to it." and Trump illegally fired the FLRA chair, so there's literally no way to appeal the way the judge says

“Federal district judges are duty-bound to decide legal issues based on even-handed application of law and precedent—no matter the identity of the litigants or, regrettably at times, the consequences of their rulings for average people,” Cooper, an Obama appointee, wrote.

Without consequences, what makes the judge think their orders will ever be followed? He basically just wagged his finger at them and said bad dog.

Of course because this judge is a weak and feckless piece of garbage.
