Judge Ho starts drafting his opinion.

good!

I'm glad there's someone - a judge - to stop what they were doing. I'm sad that they are trying to do it and very worried that the only thing that seems to stop them is the ability to go to court with a lawyer and a judge who saw through the charade and wouldn't close his eyes.

Who does this judge think the attorney general is? A criminal??

It's an old nazi trick.

Wasn't that a plot point from one of those God's Not Dead movies?

Is religious liberty playing any role in this litigation? I don't see it in the judge's order but that doesn't mean that isn't in the backdrop.
