A federal appellate court ruled last week that Oregon may house trans women inmates in men’s prisons, overturning a lower court’s ruling earlier this year.

The three-judge panel of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals consisted exclusively of Donald Trump appointees. They voted unanimously to overturn an April ruling from U.S. Magistrate Judge Mark D. Clarke ordering the Oregon Department of Corrections to assume that trans women prisoners should be housed in women’s prisons, and then assess individual cases to confirm that placement, not the other way around.

      There is no point in engaging in conspiracy thinking. You can take a moment to read up on how this works, there are plenty of webpages out there that explain it.

      I know you want to be able to point at the bad guys doing the bad things, but sometimes it isn’t that. Sometimes bad things happen just because that is how the system works. Remember that it is a legal system, not a justice system.

      What % of judges on that court are trump appointees? Cube it and you’d get the chance of getting 3 of them.
