    You know it’s weird, it seems like I can predict the way the judge votes, and likely which half of the US they live in, solely by the headline of “federal judge blocks Biden administration plan to…” with 100% accuracy.

    Haven’t been wrong yet.

    Seems almost like there’s some sort of political motivation here, not what’s best for the people.

    Almost seems like the system is working… against the people?

    But no that couldn’t be. Surely a judge, who sits at a federal level, would never be swayed by something so petty as kindergarten politics.
