Clinton-Appointed Judge Rules Inmate Who Murdered Baby Must Be Provided Taxpayer-Funded Sex Change at ‘Earliest Opportunity’

Clinton-appointed Judge Richard Young has ordered the Indiana Department of Correction (IDOC) to provide sex change surgery for a “transgender” inmate who murdered a baby.

The inmate, Jonathan Richardson, who now goes by “Autumn Cordellioné,” is in prison for the reckless homicide of a baby.

Richardson was convicted in 2001 for strangling his then-wife’s 11-month-old daughter to death.

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) filed the lawsuit against the Indiana Department of Corrections seeking a sex change on behalf of Richardson in 2023, three years after the baby-killer decided to begin identifying as a woman.

Currently, there is a law in Indiana banning taxpayer-funded sex change procedures for inmates.

According to a Fox News report, the ACLU argued that the law violates the Eighth Amendment’s prohibition of “cruel and unusual punishment.”

Judge Young sided with the ACLU on March 5 and ordered taxpayers to foot the bill for the murderer’s vanity surgery.

United Nations judge convicted of forcing young woman to work as slave

A Ugandan judge who sits on a UN court has been convicted of enslaving a young woman while she was living in Oxford.

Lydia Mugambe, 49, took “advantage of her status” over her victim in the “most egregious way” by preventing her from holding down steady employment and forcing her to work as her maid, while providing childcare for free, prosecutors said.

She was found guilty on Thursday at Oxford crown court of conspiring to breach UK immigration law, people trafficking, modern slavery and conspiracy to intimidate a witness.

Mugambe collapsed in the dock as the guilty verdicts were read out and the judge ordered that the court be cleared after there were audible gasps in the public gallery. The Ugandan judge was escorted from the court by two dock officers.

Mugambe was appointed two years ago to the UN court that deals with residual matters from the criminal tribunals for Rwanda and the former Yugoslavia.

She is understood to be a PhD research student at Oxford’s law faculty while on sabbatical from her main role as a high court judge in Uganda.

At the trial, Caroline Haughey KC, for the prosecution, said that Mugambe had “exploited and abused” the victim by “taking advantage of her lack of understanding of her rights to properly paid employment and deceiving her as to the purpose of her coming to the UK”.

The jury accepted the prosecution’s case that Mugambe had engaged in “illegal folly” with John Leonard Mugerwa, who was Uganda’s deputy high commissioner in London.

The pair were found to have conspired to arrange for the young woman to come to the UK. Prosecutors said that Mugambe and Mugerwa had participated in a “very dishonest” trade-off.

Judicial Insurrection: Radical Leftist Judges Wage All-Out War Against President Trump — 119 Legal Challenges in Just Two Months, MORE THAN DOUBLE Any U.S. President in History

Since returning to the White House in January, President Donald J. Trump has been met with an unprecedented legal onslaught from far-left activist judges and groups determined to sabotage his administration at every turn.

Appearing on The War Room with Steve Bannon, Josh Hammer, Senior Counsel for the Article III Project, warned that what America is witnessing is not just judicial activism—it’s an outright judicial insurrection.

This is similar to how the communist left attacked him using a cadre of radical activist judges his first time in office.

After nearly two months in office, these radical extremist judges continue to wreak havoc on the Trump administration and the country.

So far, the Supreme Court has failed to shut down this lawlessness by these far-left activists.

Attorney Josh Hammer: “Let me just lay the scene briefly here. What we’re seeing is not just judicial activism, Steve. I used the words very carefully there. I mean, this is a full-on judicial insurrection, going back to the very first days of this administration in power.

By the way, those of us with a long enough memory to remember the first Trump administration. This is nothing new.

The first Trump administration from 2017 to 2021, faced, by my count, I believe, it was 65 so-called nationwide injunctions, which, by the way, is more than the first 44 presidents of the United States combined, literally in all of American history, faced there.

They basically picked up in January, just last month, as if they hadn’t lost a beat over the past four years. Whether it’s a judge in Washington State or Ohio or Washington DC or Florida, or Hawaii, the notion that you can issue a TRO, a temporary restraining order, and thereby try to bring a federal executive branch policy and executive order to halt. It’s completely anathema. It’s bat-crap crazy. That’s not how the separation of powers works.”

On Wednesday, soulless activist Judge Tanya Chutkan ruled that state attorneys general can access information about DOGE employees working to cut waste and fraud in government. Chutkan put a target on their backs so violent leftists could pursue them on the streets of America. What a complete loon.

JUDICIAL TYRANNY: Radical Judge Tanya Chutkan Allows States Attorneys General to Unveil the Names of DOGE Employees

Corrupt U.S. District Judge Tanya S. Chutkan has unleashed a legal assault on Elon Musk and the newly formed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), greenlighting a fishing expedition that threatens to expose DOGE employees to the wrath of left-wing bureaucrats.

On Tuesday, radical left Judge Tanya Chutkan, a disgustingly dishonest Trump-hater who believes she was elected to lead this country and take down Trump, issued an order today in State of New Mexico, et al. v. Elon Musk, et al. that demands Musk and DOGE cough up sensitive documents and data within a mere 21 days—all to appease a coalition of Democrat-led states desperate to undermine President Trump’s agenda.

Chutkan’s order mandates that DOGE disclose sensitive information and internal documents concerning employees, contracts, and federal engagements directly linked with states participating in the lawsuit.

Chutkan justified the plaintiffs’ aggressive interrogatories, ruling they sufficiently targeted “parameters of DOGE’s and Musk’s authority”—an issue central to plaintiffs’ claims under the Appointments Clause.

“Again, subject to a minor amendment, Plaintiffs have sufficiently tailored their interrogatories and requests for admission as well. Those requests seek to identify DOGE personnel and the parameters of DOGE’s and Musk’s authority- a question central to Plaintiffs’ claims,” Chutkan wrote.

This decision dangerously opens the door for politically motivated activists and partisan actors to weaponize personal information against private citizens simply doing their jobs.

What a sick and dangerous woman!

Judge who allegedly had a relationship with an accused child predator and let him out on bail is now accused of similar crimes

A Utah judge was put on unpaid leave after police accused him of committing several sex crimes involving children. The next day, a former fire chief from the same locality was charged with similar crimes. But court documents revealed an even deeper connection between the two men.

According to court documents obtained by KSL, a local NBC affiliate, Ned Brady Hansen, 54, was charged on Tuesday with eight counts of aggravated sexual exploitation of a minor. When Hansen was first arrested on Jan. 27 — when he was still Tremonton’s fire chief — investigators working his case asked a judge to hold him in custody without bail due to the nature of his alleged crimes.

That judge, Kevin Christensen, 64, let Hansen go free.

On Monday, Christensen was charged with seven felony sex crimes involving children and obstructing justice. And according to an affidavit for Hansen’s arrest, the two men had been engaged in a “sexual relationship,” KSL reported.

Biden Judge Strong-Arms Trump, Orders Admin to Pay a Portion of $2 Billion in Foreign Contracts by Monday Evening

A federal judge on Thursday ordered the Trump Administration to pay a portion of the $2 billion in foreign contracts by Monday evening.

US District Judge Amir Ali, a Biden appointee held a hearing on Thursday after the Supreme Court in a 5-4 ruling denied the Trump Administration’s request to vacate his TRO forcing the administration to pay $2 billion in foreign contracts.

Conservative Justices Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh dissented.

Alito said he was stunned by the judge’s order forcing the Trump Administration to pay $2 billion in foreign contracts.

“Does a single district-court judge who likely lacks jurisdiction have the unchecked power to compel the Government of the United States to pay out (and probably lose forever) 2 billion taxpayer dollars? The answer to that question should be an emphatic “No,” but a majority of this Court apparently thinks otherwise. I am stunned,” Alito wrote in a scathing dissent.

After a four-hour hearing on Thursday, Judge Ali ordered the Trump Admin to get some of the plaintiffs’ invoices paid by 6 pm on Monday.

Judge blocks Trump’s order to end funding for hospitals providing youth gender-affirming care

Afederal judge in Baltimore on Tuesday blocked President Donald Trump’s executive order that pulled funding for hospitals and healthcare providers that do not stop providing gender-affirming treatments to people under the age of 19.

Trump signed the executive order in January, which threatened to withhold federal funding for hospitals and other healthcare providers nationwide that do not stop providing the gender-affirming care, which includes puberty blockers and hormone treatments.

Judge Brendan Hurson granted a preliminary injunction against the order on Tuesday, which will impact hospitals and healthcare providers nationwide. A previous order by a different judge only impacted four states, per the New York Times.

The case stems from a group of six transgender people between the ages of 12 and 18, and their parents and advocacy groups, who claimed that their access to treatment was threatened by two of Trump’s orders.

The second executive order directed federal agencies to ensure that grant funding for research does not support “gender ideology.” Trump’s administration has also stated the federal government would only recognize two genders.

“The Court cannot fathom discrimination more direct than the plain pronouncement of a policy resting on the premise that the group to which the policy is directed does not exist,” Hurson wrote in his order.

Biden Appointed Federal Judge who Blocked Trump USAID Freeze is a Far-Left Activist and Biden Donor, Who Pushed to Defund Police and Drop BLM Charges, Previously Accused Trump of “Hatred Towards Muslim People”

A Biden-appointed federal judge who is trying to stop the President from freezing foreign aid and USAID disbursements was discovered to be a radical-left anti-Trump activist who has accused the President of hating Muslims and lobbied for Black Lives Matter activists and defunding the police.

As The Gateway Pundit recently reported, Judge Amir Ali blocked Trump’s order halting foreign funding and ordered the Trump Administration to pay the foreign contracts last week.

“At least to date, Defendants have not offered any explanation for why a blanket suspension of all congressionally appropriated foreign aid, which set off a shockwave and upended reliance interests for thousands of agreements with businesses, nonprofits, and organizations around the country, was a rational precursor to reviewing programs,” Judge Ali wrote in a 15-page order reviewed by The Gateway Pundit.

Ali’s order was temporarily paused by the U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday pending a review of the far-left judge’s ruling.

According to the Daily Wire, Ali, the former Executive Director of the leftist MacArthur Justice Center, is a donor to Democrats, including Joe Biden, whom he gave thousands of dollars during his 2020 bid against Trump, and former DNC Chair Jamie Harrison in a bid for South Carolina’s U.S. Senate race.

Prior to the 2020 election, the judge was an opponent of Trump’s 2017 travel ban, which halted travel and visa issuance from several Islamic nations to prevent terrorists from entering the U.S.

In an editorial for the far-left Guardian newspaper, Ali described the President’s order as a “campaign of animus against people of the Muslim faith.” In a 2022 interview, he further claimed that the President has a “history of animus and hatred towards Muslim people. In the same interview, he also called for DEI to be implemented within the legal profession in DC, calling it a problem that he’s “one of few people of North African or Middle Eastern descent, one of few immigrants to the country, and one of few Muslim Americans.”

Biden-Appointed Judge Blocking Trump’s ‘Spending Freeze’ Always Sides With The Left

After losing at the ballot box, the left has returned to its familiar strategy of slowing President Donald Trump’s agenda through the courts. Lucky for them, former President Joe Biden appointed reliable lefty U.S. District Judge Loren AliKhan in 2023 to the Washington, D.C. court.   

AliKhan has sided against the American people throughout her legal career, often in cases involving faith. Did you want to go to church during Covid? AliKhan actively worked against the freedom of religious assembly.

Now, AliKhan is overseeing a court challenge to the temporary spending freeze requested by the Trump Administration’s Office of Management and Budget (OMB).

The OMB requested spending pause in a Jan 27 memo, saying OMB must do an analysis of all federal financial assistance programs to identify spending that may be affected by Trump’s executive orders. It was looking for spending related to foreign aid, nongovernmental organizations, DEI, woke gender ideology, and the Green New Deal.

The National Council of Nonprofits went to court the next day, Jan. 28, challenging the 90-day pause, saying the pause “could deprive people and communities of their life-saving services,” court papers show.

“This order is a potential five-alarm fire for nonprofit organizations and the people and communities they serve,” said a statement from National Council of Nonprofits President and CEO Diane Yentel. “The impact of even a short pause in funding could be devastating and cost lives. This order could decimate thousands of organizations and leave neighbors without the services they need.”

AliKhan immediately granted a temporary restraining order Jan. 28, blocking the spending pause. The next day, Jan. 29, OMB rescinded the memo and later told the court the case was moot because the pause was no longer in effect. Money is flowing to nonprofits.

The pause was to look at spending before sending out payments. The spending cuts are still happening. This case only addresses the pause. Ending the pause should have been the end of the case, but it continued.

On Tuesday, AliKhan issued a preliminary injunction blocking the pause.

“Plaintiffs painted a stark picture of nationwide panic in the wake of the funding freeze. Nonprofits and organizations across the country were left adrift as they scrambled to make sense of the memorandum and its effects,” AliKhan wrote in her dramatic decision. “Entire funding portals were taken offline with no rhyme or reason, generating significant confusion and fear. Many organizations had to resort to desperate measures just to stay operational. The pause placed critical programs for children, the elderly, and everyone in between in serious jeopardy. Because the public’s interest in not having trillions of dollars arbitrarily frozen cannot be overstated, Plaintiffs have more than met their burden here.”

The decision from AliKhan was predictable as he often sides outside of common sense and in alignment with the political views she favors.

During AliKhan’s 2023 confirmation hearing, numerous religious groups signed a joint letter to Congress in opposition to her nomination, detailing her activism. She was approved in a tie-breaking vote by former Vice President Kamala Harris.

Federal Judge Sides with Woke Agenda, Blocks Trump’s Orders to End Taxpayer-Funded DEI Scam

In yet another case of activist judges undermining the will of the American people, a Biden-appointed federal judge has issued a sweeping injunction blocking President Donald Trump’s executive orders aimed at ending taxpayer-funded diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) schemes.

U.S. District Judge Adam Abelson, a left-wing operative placed on the bench by Joe Biden, ruled on Friday that the Trump administration cannot immediately revoke federal contracts and grants that promote divisive DEI initiatives, claiming such actions may violate “free speech rights,” according to far-left AP.

In other words, the judge believes that forcing taxpayers to fund radical leftist ideology is a constitutional right.

On his first day back in office, President Trump moved swiftly to dismantle the race-obsessed, Marxist bureaucracy embedded within the federal government by issuing executive orders that directed agencies to eliminate DEI-related funding and contracts.

He further required federal contractors to certify that they do not promote discriminatory DEI policies, a move that sent leftist institutions into a panic.

The City of Baltimore, along with a coalition of liberal academia and DEI profiteers, rushed to sue the Trump administration, desperately trying to keep the federal gravy train flowing.

The lawsuit whines that Trump’s orders will cause “irreparable harm” to DEI bureaucrats and the institutions that rely on billions in taxpayer funding to push radical race and gender policies.
