"Trump Has Now Shifted $1.3 Million Of Campaign-Donor Money Into His Business"

"Donald Trump has charged his own reelection campaign $1.3 million for rent, food, lodging and other expenses since taking office, according to a Forbes analysis of the latest campaign filings. And although outsiders have contributed more than $50 million to the campaign, the billionaire president hasn’t handed over any of his own cash. The net effect: $1.3 million of donor money has turned into $1.3 million of Trump money."

Just more data we already knew. It will please the chuds, in some hyper-convoluted way.

This is evil in its worst form. The people involved in this, every one of them is going to burn in hell. And deservedly so.

Unless and until parents are willing to fight and die for their children this is going to continue, and get worse.

And again with the perversion of the progressives, they have no idea of the irony when they call us Nazis.

What is the practical and moral difference between what we see here with the children and putting Jews in the camps and surgically experimenting on them? There is no practical or moral difference. Thus any group that thinks they are immune from this sort of government despotism is a group that will become victims.

The people that are capable of this sick surgical butcherie, and that includes everyone in favor of it or who participates in it, is perfectly capable of putting human beings in the camps and torturing them. They are capable of rationalizing any behavior that furthers their goals. Nothing is too sick or depraved for them.

We are talking about an issue where the government is coming in and forceably removing kids and injecting them with hormones or doing surgery on the kids- it’s way beyond getting a lawyer and spokesperson - You know they are coming for your kid to mutilate them- and it’s time to take a physical stand- it’s beyond lawyers, it’s beyond pr- it’s time to act in defense of your family and on behalf of your religious convictions and basic inalienable human rights- it’s time to let the world know that no- it’s not alright for governments to do this to families- to violate their inalienable right-

IF enough parents were willing to lay down their lives in defense of their families if necessary- the government would be forced to back off- There is a time for courts, and lawyers and spokespeople- but when it becomes clear that your child is going to be taken and mutilated by a perverted evil regime/agenda, then it’s time to let the world know a boundary has been crossed- and we’re not going to take it-

Unfortunately it's the loud father who isn't and he's pledged to go to the Supreme Court of Canada (they were in the BC Supreme Court previously - provincial, not federal). He got slapped down hard by the provincial court.

It'd be funny, because if their court is anything like the SCOTUS, they might just refuse to hear the case because "why the gently caress are you bothering us when this has only come to one lower court? Call me back when two federal circuits disagree. loving losers."

At least if I remember my conlaw right. They can look at it and go, "nah, there's no reason to get involved here."

Our court is not laid out like SCOTUS and we don't have multi-state circuits like you do.

In an extremely basic summary, a provincial supreme court's ruling can be taken to the (same province's) court of appeal - the BCCA, or the Court of Appeal of British Columbia in this case. It is possible to appeal a ruling from the BCCA to the Supreme Court of Canada, but the Canadian Supreme Court is not obliged to actually take it up unless it's a nationwide concern or an actual area of unsettled law; they can otherwise just say 'no, go away, the provincial Court of Appeal ruling stands'. Whether someone is allowed to petition for an appeal is usually decided by a small panel of Supreme Court judges (I think it is three?) but is guaranteed in some cases. In this case I would assume they would take it up since it's an area of unsettled law, but it would go to the BCCA first.

The other thing the Supreme Court of Canada can do is answer a question from the federal Cabinet about whether a thing is legal, if they're asked.

As I understand it, yes, but I haven't taken a civics class in twenty years and I haven't been following the case closely.

The BCCA is allowed to punt or declare it outside their bounds if they want to; if they do, that's one of the things that guarantees the right of appeal to the Supreme Court. Usually this mostly comes up with Constitutional issues where they would want a reference question (edit: a reference is when the government officially asks the Supreme Court for a law check, either to a provincial Supreme Court or the federal one depending on the question), but they could do it on a hot-button topic like this to try to get a federal ruling, if they wanted to.

Mostly I just wanted to point out that the Canadian court system is absolutely not the same as the American one and is sometimes difficult to map precise equivalents to.
