The judge had to remind herself not to let her anger take over. Remarkable indeed.
This ruling will be overturned. And rightly so
You've not read the detail of the case have you, in particular the legal argument behind the Judges decision? The DOJ got eviscerated for its preparation for the case, trying to change its submission when challenged and for the substance of what it was trying to defend. On a purely legal basis there is no chance it will be overturned ... however in Trumpland we now know the rule of law means feck all unfortunately.
It will be and should be overturned

If low level district court judges want to make decisions like this run for office.

That's not how it works. He has a case presented to him and he makes a judgement as he MUST do. The parties can appeal it up the line if they want.

I know some Conservatives that now see Poilievre is a negative nerd who's got nothing going for him now that Trudeau's gone.

I think he fucked it in going totally on that route when the history of our elections should have told him that people were already tired of him and he could have pulled in even more people by positively going "I'm going to be middle of the road and here are some things we'll do to ease the cost of living because the pandemic screwed a lot of things for a lot of you."

Instead, this is his playbook...
