5/ Full text of the ruling can be found here: media.cadc.uscourts.gov/orders/docs/...

4/ That all being said, I hope this is appealed to the Supreme Court. The circuit court, both in the three-judge panel and the en banc review, were totally in the wrong here. Boasberg follow the law to the letter, and they're ignoring it.

3/ They continued: "The district court remains free to require the government to identify the decision makers who directed the potentially contemptuous actions and to carefully consider next steps."

This means that Boasberg is still 100% free to issue a finding of contempt, & he absolutely should.

2/ But it doesn't actually prevent the lower court judge, Boasberg, from finding the Trump administration in contempt.

Three judges dissented from this ruling, and they wrote that this "order does not prevent the district court from exercising its contempt authority."

5/ THAT is how much contempt they have for you, America: they would rather shut down the ENTIRE GOVERNMENT than let you have Healthcare.

Never forget their craven cruelty. Make them PAY by firing every last one of them next year.

4/ This shutdown is a Republican shutdown. Democrats simply wanted to restore healthcare coverage to Americans, and the GOP couldn't accept that; they decided to shut down the government instead.

3/ They are the ones who refused to swear in a new member of the House.

And they are the ones who spread lies instead of accepting their responsibility for all of this.

2/ They are the ones who canceled meetings to discuss solutions, without cause or warning.

They are the ones who delayed having Congress come back into session.

6/ He's also showing that he can never accomplish his goal of being a "unifier" because he will never work with Democrats under any circumstances. That's because, to him, anyone with a "D" next to their name is the enemy.

There's a word for this: fascism.

5/ The difference here is that Trump is willfully admitting this for the world to see. This wasn't buried in an interview; this was posted on an open social media account viewed by millions. He's showing how craven and fascist he is for everyone to see.

4/ For example, the late George Voinovich once admitted in an interview that, per party leadership, "if [Obama] was for it, we had to be against it".

3/ That's not leadership. That's idiocy and fascism rolled into one. He's cutting off his nose to spite his face.
In a way, this is old news. Trump's actions and words have clearly shown this to be true since 2015, and the GOP has been doing it since Obama's first term.

2/ He's admitting a truth we've known all along, which is that if Democrats support something, he will oppose it. It doesn't matter what it is, he will oppose it. He'll even oppose something *he proposed* if Democrats suddenly come on board.
