See you later Alligator

 Judge Kathy Williams temporarily halts construction at Alligator Alcatraz.  From the Miami Herald:

 A federal judge has put a temporary but critically important halt on construction at Alligator Alcatraz. It wasn’t for the reasons you might think: lack of due process, detaining immigrants without criminal convictions, limited access to legal counsel and religious services or the fact that the government is housing thousands of people in tents in a hurricane zone. No, this ruling, issued Thursday, is the result of this center being built in just eight days in the middle of the Everglades. There was no time to consider the threat it may pose to endangered species, clean water, dark skies and the sensitive ecosystem. Now there is, thanks to a lawsuit brought by the Miccosukee Tribe and environmental advocacy groups Friends of the Everglades, the Center for Biological Diversity and Earthjustice.

Ho Hum! She told the government to hold off for two weeks. So what. Nowadays, I guess this is what the Left calls a victory.

She has no authority. Another liberal idiot. Robert's will crush her on the shadow docket

Sad that on a blog for lawyers, people who are presumably lawyers would laude the hope of one judge “crushing” another judge, derided as an “idiot,” through the sketch vehicle of the shadow docket. Have you no decency sirs? Never mind your comments answer the question.

No, they don’t and that should tell you everything you need to know about their kind.

The usual dangerously incendiary MAGA rhetoric. Not to worry. The rest of the (intelligent and rational) world just has a few more years before their orange diety is gone. Then, true to form, his sheep will follow to a most fitting final resting place where ignorance, irrelevance and indifference abound.
