“falling for” equals willful ignorance in order to push anti gay agenda. All Maga judges are traitors
>Thanks to the Post’s reporting, we now know that ADF’s tactics go far beyond soliciting clients through such missives to pastors. The Post found multiple instances where ADF’s website published promotional materials of its plaintiffs taking wedding photos, which were actually photos of ADF’s employees, seemingly in costume. These findings raise grave legal ethics concerns, and even more troubling questions about whether a high court mired in its own ethics debacles would even care.
>Now the Post’s investigation suggests that Nelson never truly ran a wedding photography business in Louisville at all — but that Trump-appointed judges accepted her claims nonetheless. The Post reported that a lawyer allied with ADF’s national lawyer network filed incorporation papers for Nelson’s company just one month before her lawsuit. After serving just five months as a trial judge, Walker was rewarded with a seat on the prestigious U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. The case was assigned to another Trump-appointed judge, who issued a permanent injunction in her favor.

On appeal, a lawyer for Louisville pointed out that Nelson had not photographed any wedding in nearly two years, and in any case has moved to Florida, out of the city’s jurisdiction. ADF told the appeals court that Nelson has photographed two weddings, neither in Louisville, hundreds of miles from where she lives — but the Post uncovered that these weddings were of a family member and a church friend, suggesting she is not open for business to the public in any event.

Judges be like: Oh no!
anyways…
It’s not “falling for” when they are winking at each other.
Almost as if they were selected for their loyalty rather than their competence.
As they say in software, it’s a feature, not a bug.
Fucking CHRIST we’ve been yelling about this for damn near a year now and *finally* the WaPo gets a fucking hint. Truly the best in “journalism”. If they actually paid attention to the email leaks, they could have stories for years…
Yeah falling for implies that they’re not absolutely aware of what the scam is. They’re not the mark, they’re an accomplice.
“falling for”? I don’t think so
Newsflash.
They KNOW they are fake.
“Keep falling” = know exactly what they’re doing because that’s exactly why they were appointed.
They’re not falling for them, they’re in on the con.
They aren’t falling for shit, this gives them way too much credit.
There are a fair number of Trump appointees who were rated “Not qualified” by the ABA…
Gorsuch’s admission only hinted at the shaky foundations of Smith’s case. The New Yorker reported this week that Smith said her pastor “had directed her to speak with A.D.F. before she even entered the business of making Web sites for weddings.”
Does the law not provide for reversing judgements that were based on lies? Honest question
Won’t someone think of the trump appointed judges for falling for this????? This is why liberal media sucks, they love to handhold fascists while our rights get taken away
If you help plan it, then “falling for” it is a matter of fact.
They’re not being bamboozled into this, they’re racist bigoted judges that already have their mind set on hating LGBT
Why not? the conservatives on SCOTUS fell for the religious coaches claims, even when presented with photographic proof.
They’re not falling for them. They’re just the excuse to rule how they want
They’re not “falling for” anything.
They see an opportunity to push their ideological agenda, and they take it. End of analysis.
These are carefully scripted cases with the scripts likely coming from the SCOTUS Six via Ginny Thomas.
