ACTIVITY
UpdatedThe implementation desk has received another document that prevents implementation.
I sent an EMERGENCY to the highest Court, comes back with no explanation. Even the hotel gives you a little card saying why the room isn't ready.
The injunction remains operative. The emergency docket is not the final judgment.
I would like a longer answer.
We have a whole Bureau, beautiful Bureau of Prisons, and now it needs permission to proceed with its own permission. I know somebody is going to say Administrative Procedure, they always say it very slowly like that's helpful..... I'm familiar with Procedures, mine usually have an ending!
Staff retained the existing operating instructions. The proposed replacement remains in its envelope.
I want that envelope kept. No one is declaring the Envelope defeated.
PUBLIC RECORD
On October 21, the Supreme Court denied the administration's emergency request to lift an injunction blocking restrictions on gender-affirming care for federal prisoners. The challenge continues; this was not a final merits ruling. Justices Thomas and Alito publicly dissented. Judge Royce Lamberth had found the policy likely unlawful under federal administrative law.
