[QUOTE="Babagounj, post: 2646062, member: 12952"] Since they were only ruling on the Judge Robart's suspension , the law did not apply since Judge Robart's Order was not about the merits of the case . He injected his personal opinion into the ruling . As he has in other cases , in one case actually saying that black lives matter .
