How can you tell you’re in a republicans house? The bible still has shrink wrap.
That or the pages are littered with paragraph-long highlights, underscores, and "THIS!!!" in the margins but no critical thought or insights on the passages
And all those notes and the heavily-read pages are in the Old Testament portion, while the New Testament portion is barely touched.
the date on the order is 2/31/2026..... 🤦
It only adds to the sense that he was quivering with barely restrained rage as he wrote the order, which also came through in the text quite nicely I thought.
The fuck?
This is, uh, this is not how judges normally sign off on opinions:
He's trying to add every single bit of gravitas to his order
It's amazing, tbh, one thing I didn't expect from this entire situation is that the judiciary starts to really flex their literary and theatrical muscles in their authority, because while most legal business is rote ritual, they take advantage of that with this, and allow their legal opinions and the weight of their urgency to be seen
It gives me a little hope
Normally, no. However it does humanize Liam Conejo Ramos as a child. The judge isn't talking about some child that the public can't visualize. We actually get to see what Liam Conejo Ramos looks like.
Are you suggesting it’s inappropriate?
No. I am suggesting that these times are abnormal.
I have to wonder if they really are, or if Trumps regime is just so terrible at optics that we are seeing all the rot they been hiding behind the curtain for years.
He’s not smart enough to amass this much power this fast. He’s not rich enough. He’s not influential enough.
He stole something someone shouldn’t have had in the first place.
Yeah, the Bible should not enter legal documents and a judge seemingly taking guidance from it should be disbarred.
He quoted “Jesus wept.” Hardly inappropriate.
No religion belongs in the courtroom. It is by definition inappropriate and he should be punished for this.
Grow up, bud.
You act like there's ever been separation of church and state. There has not.
All states so indeed still have some theocratic elements. That is precisely why religion should be given no quarter, it already has more prominence in goverment than it ever deserved.
Freedom of religion in most states is just placing religious people above rules that bind everyone else, religious people don't need the addition of lax enforcement ofthe few guidelines that exist to just expand their already extreme unearned and indefensible privilege.
You're arguing what should be. I would argue the same. We're explaining what is.
Indeed, let's return a 5 year old child to jail because the judge said a few words from the bible. Grow the fuck up. I grew up in a very conservative Christian family, I never was a believer myself but I do respect each ones beliefs as long as they don't bring any harm.
Wishing for a 5 year old child to return to jail because the judge said a few bible phrases is absolutely macabre.
I didn't say to overturn the judgment. But this could bring him harm. But him being a "Christian" to flaunt his beliefs is more important to this self-absorbed piece of shit judge.
Its more in the sense the maga and the proud boies all cry about the bible and christianity. He spoke in their words and proved their evil. I think he did a fine job with this, honestly. Especially given the whole context.
We need to learn to take off our horse glasses and watch further than religion, especially in times like these.
Excuses "in times like these" is what got USA to this point. Principles that are dropped when the going gets tough aren't principles, they're an aesthetic.
There's a truth in that too.
Perhaps, but, I won’t complain about Christian theology being used against Christofascists, of which I suspect many ICE agents are. Donald Trump has been known to wave a Bible around. Turnabout is fair play.
They are not, most are zionist jews that are part of ICE and try to rally the moronic Christopats like sheep. Here is a good example of it: https://www.instagram.com/reels/DRXjgkriEfB/ (Yea, fuck instagram, its just the first result that popped)
I doubt that just based on the number of rabidly Zionist Jews relative to their Christian counterparts in civilization society. I suspect many “Proud/Boogaloo Boy” types comprise a significant portion of their ranks. Like 50% or greater, and veterans, jobless young ones who are still quite impressionable.
Number wise, the proud boogalo boys are definitely bigger. But despite that, most significant rallies and movements were mostly initiated by jewish zionists. Actually quite a few "white supremacy christian" groups were funded by jewish zionists. Nonetheless, both groups deserve exactly the same thing. Neither the zionists are true jews and neither those so called "christians" have anything to do with Christianity.
Leave it to militant atheists to be more concerned about fighting religion than about fighting fascism
And why are you making multiple comments about it? Give it a rest already.
I think it’s cute how mad this guy got lol. Wait til he finds out ICE murders people.
Enjoy your regressive shithole, you've all earned it with your hard work keeping it that way.
lol k
The regime uses religion to justify ignoring legal norms. The judge knew exactly what he was doing. Basically, even if the Bible matters more than the law, this is STILL wrong.
Appeals courts will overturn. The patriotism of some of the district court judges does not seem to apply to higher courts. Or state courts for that matter fuck them all
