A federal judge on Monday temporarily barred the removal of a memorial to Confederate soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery after a push from a citizens group and some GOP lawmakers.
The temporary restraining order, issued by U.S. District Judge Rossie D. Alston Jr. in Alexandra, Va., comes just one day after a group called Defend Arlington, which is affiliated with a group called Save Southern Heritage Florida, filed a suit against the Department of Defense seeking a restraining order against the memorial’s removal.
It is set to expire at 5 p.m. Wednesday following an expected hearing Wednesday morning.
Fucking racists bawling like babies because their valorization of traitors is going to be removed.
I don’t know a single other country that has monuments to the losing side of a civil war.
Do you mean the judge who halted this? Because he is black. You just as well could mean the locals, etc., though.
I don’t have a comment either way.
That’s not how judges work. The judge is just following due process.
