Judge deems Trump's cuts to National Institutes of Health illegal

Because, you know, Constitution/laws/No Kings.



"U.S. District Judge William Young said during a nonjury trial that the NIH violated federal law by arbitrarily canceling more than $1 billion in research grants because of their perceived connection to diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives.


Young said he was reinstating grants that had been awarded to organizations and Democratic-led states that sued over the terminations. And he indicated that he could issue a more sweeping decision as the case proceeds.

“This represents racial discrimination and discrimination against America’s LGBTQ community,” said Young, an appointee of Republican President Ronald Reagan. “Any discrimination by our government is so wrong that it requires the court to enjoin it and at an appropriate time, I’m going to do it.”

Referring to the termination of grants for research related to issues involving racial minorities, Young said that in four decades on the bench, he had “never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable.”

Good. Long live science!

 

[Mr Person]

Judge Young...I know him as extremely hostile to 2254 habeas petitions

 

[Mr Person]

This damage last decades.

Bio samples/animals... gone, unless the university paid out of pocket to continue. Subjects discharged, grad students ****ed and reeling, wasting money probably for another year or two or more. etc etc etc.

The ****ing evil idiot could easily have nixed something that might have lead to a cure for cancer. All because Fox programmed his morons to think there is "waste" and "fraud" everywhere, and because they hate the left, of which universities are supposed to be an example.





God damn Trump and God damn MAGA.

Means little, in practical terms.

Trump won't listen.
