Why the fuck does a judge get to say what the city does. Defi the order hell Trump does.
Is that what you really want? More people acting like Donald Trump?
No want to fight against fascism
Yeah, sure, fascism bad, however, I’m not sure that, in this case, a bit of judicial assholery is tantamount to fascism. This decision can be appealed and possibly reversed by a higher court.
Looks like the judge is reversing it based on nothing but carbrain, calling the bike lane “arbitrary” and “capricious”. Looks like this whole court is out of order.I’m pretty sure there’s gonna be an appeal. The judge gave 30 days before the order must be executed. He also denied all of the other claims.
This is not a ruling that should be difficult to get reversed on appeal
Can but won’t.
What about this is fascist?
Public funding was used as directed by public officials to build public infrastructure. A judge orders it torn up with no legal basis, attempting to circumvent not only the will of the people, but the law.
It’s certainly not democratic
Trump ignores the wants of the many to benefit the few. When the many stand up to the few, it’s not the same as what Trump does, it’s the opposite.
I want everyone to stop tripping over themselves to comply with dumb “orders” like this. If that means taking a page out of Trump’s playbook and ignoring them, then yeah, fuck it.
Morally you’re right of course. Everyone should follow laws and procedures. Even when others don’t. No disagreement.
But there is a line from the first Foundation book. I’ll paraphrase: Don’t let your sense of morality stop you from doing the right thing.
When you’re playing against a cheater. You’ll follow the rules every time, and loose every time. Which is fine in a game. Especially when you know someone is inforcing the rules and the cheater will be stopped. But when when actual lives are on the line? And the ref is the one cheating? Going against your moral code to do the right thing, becomes the moral thing to do.
That’s what RobbinHood was all about.
The word ‘unprecedented’ will be part of daily vernacular until…
At certain point, everything is just precedented.
rip up the bike lane and turn it into a sidewalk then rip up the street and turn it into a streetcar and bike lane.
Doug Ford moment 🥲
