Federal Judge Compares Trump to the Tyrannical Queen of Hearts in Alice in Wonderland - Glenn Kirschner
District of Columbia Federal District Judge Beryl Howell pulled no punches in a new ruling against Trump and his administration.
Trump issued an executive order punishing a law firm he doesn't like, prohibiting the firm's attorneys from interacting with federal agencies and even from entering federal buildings.
In ruling against Trump and in favor of the law firm, Judge Howell said:
"This may be amusing in 'Alice in Wonderland' where the Queen of Hearts yells, 'Off with their heads!' at annoying subjects . . . and announces a sentence before a verdict, but this cannot be the reality we are living under."
Federal courts are not only ruling against Trump's unlawful and unconstitutional executive orders, but they are beginning to call out his obvious autocratic conduct. - Glenn Kirschner - 03/12/2025.
