A government source indicates that they believe the administration is intentionally delaying compliance with a ruling allowing trans people to change their passports.
Words cannot express the magnitude of hate I have for the vile ogres running our country. I’ve seen enough to be convinced these people aren’t human and I’m ready for National Strike. Pitchfork ready. Enough is enough.
As someone who was forcefully issued a passport with the wrong marker after Jan 20th, the lack of compliance is incredibly enraging. To add to the chaos and uncertainty, there are a couple of reports on Reddit now of trans people who got their self-selected gender markers after the class action was approved. These appear to be outliers at this point because there are way more reports of people being denied.
As someone who lives eight hours from the nearest regional agency, going in person just to be turned away is not something I can realistically take a chance on. I have to rely on the mail-in process and until I start seeing reports of others who get their correct documents back, I am hesitant to part with my existing passport. I still haven't received my birth certificate back from my initial application in January. I am also worried that if I mail in a correction form now, if the government decides to start complying additional documents of some kind will be requested. I know from experience earlier in the year that if additional forms or attestation is requested, the processing time is doubled.
Time for state department employees to start doing whatever they want regardless of the law or federal policy, too. Like processing accurate passports for everyone.
It's interesting how the passport agency complied with the EO immediately, but won't comply with the courts or give excuses about being delayed. Of course this is intentional. We all know it. I'm hoping that the SCOTUS will give us the decision that we need, but I'm not holding my breath.
And with any luck that will be reversed. If they actually disobey a court order from SCOTUS, then their agents are fairly free game.
Hey, I can dream can't I?
The investigations, reconciliation boards, and prosecutions of those issuing, following, and conspiring to endorse these orders under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 & 18 U.S.C. § 242 are a thing to insist on and work towards. If such orders are linked to provoking suicide, then the death penalty should be considered for those most responsible.
The next step is going to be more brutal (literally). The SCOTUS is going to try to continue walking a tightrope, hoping to avoid MAGA wrath while still remaining relevant (an impossible quest, in my opinion). We'll soon see more LA-type military challenges, with orders to shoot. And I see the chances of obedience and disobedience as an unpredictable tossup.
Here we have the immediate consequence of SCOTUS' ruling against nationwide injunctions, and yet more fallout from their disastrous ruling on executive immunity: a President who feels emboldened to simply ignore any court order he doesn't like. This will come back around to bite SCOTUS in the ass, too, eventually, even if the conservative majority doesn't see the peril they've put themselves in just yet. I take back everything I've said about Roberts' court being as bad as Taney's. It isn't 𝘢𝘴 bad. It's much, much 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘴𝘦. Taney was a monster, but I don't think even he would have signed off on handing the Executive as much power as Roberts and the rest of the Shameful Six have to Don the Con and his gaggle of goose-stepping goons.
This is deeply disturbing. If the administration won't follow court orders than the checks and balances of this country are broken and we essentially have a dictator.

Sadly, I kind of figured this would happen 😓

Unrepresentative government of the worst kind. Immoral and cruel.
When do we tell our employers to stop withholding our taxes?
> “We don’t answer to courts.” When the applicant asked, “You’re telling me you don’t have to follow the law?” the supervisor replied, “We don’t.”
We should name names here.
They've repeatedly made it clear that they don't give two shits about the law and do whatever they want.

What did u expect
The court will not enforce the order

It was clear from the response to court orders against the kidnapping and rendition of Albrego Garcia that this would happen. That was my scientist's "legal analysis," and it was unfortunately right. https://jaynasheats.substack.com/p/its-past-midnight-what-should-transgender
