Speaker 1: Yesterday told you about the legal hissy fit thrown by
Speaker 1: the wise Latina Supreme Court Justice Sonya Sotomayor. She was
Speaker 1: furious at the Supreme Court's emergency ruling that allows the
Speaker 1: Trump administration to deny green cards to welfare recipients. The
Speaker 1: wise Latina is mad that elections have consequences. Well, now
Speaker 1: there's more court news, folks, and this is delicious. On Monday,
Speaker 1: a federal appeals court sided with the Trump administration on
Speaker 1: the so called gag rule. The court refused to block
Speaker 1: a Trump rule that limits what federally funded family planning
Speaker 1: providers can tell patients about abortion procedures. Judge Sandra Kuta
Speaker 1: cited Supreme Court precedents supporting similar rules in nineteen eight.
Speaker 1: Under President Reynauld's magnus. It's a good decision, but that's
Speaker 1: not the reason it's so delicious. The fun part is
Speaker 1: where the ruling was made. This decision in favor of
Speaker 1: the Trump administration came from the ninth U. S. Circuit
Speaker 1: Court of Appeals, formerly known as the Ninth Circus. Trump's
Speaker 1: flipped it. Over the weekend, The l A Times run
Speaker 1: a panicked article about the shock waves, reverberating through the
Speaker 1: legal world. Because of the many appointments Trump has made
Speaker 1: to the Ninth Circuit, he has flipped it from a
Speaker 1: radical leftist court to one that more often rules in
Speaker 1: favor the Constitution. Liberals are in shock, and that is
Speaker 1: delicious because elections do have consequences.
