A federal judge in Washington state on Thursday granted a request from 14 states to temporarily block operational changes within the U.S. Postal Service that have been blamed for a slowdown in mail delivery, saying that President Trump and Postmaster General Louis DeJoy are “involved in a politically motivated attack on the efficiency of the Postal Service” that could disrupt the 2020 election.

Stanley A. Bastian, chief judge of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Washington, said that harm to the public “has already taken place” by changes put in place under DeJoy. Bastian ruled from the bench Thursday afternoon after a two-and-a-half hour hearing.

“The states have demonstrated that the defendants are involved in a politically motivated attack on the efficiency of the Postal Service. They have also demonstrated that this attack on the Postal Service is likely to irreparably harm the states’ ability to administer the 2020 general election,” he said.

Bastian said that the mail delivery backlogs “likely will slow down delivery of ballots, both to the voters and back to the states” this fall.

1. Great news, but he will of course NOT do anything the judge tells him to do...and if arrested

traitor will pardon him, etc.

Love the judge for doing this, but the law and courts dont matter anymore, sorry.

I remember saying that a few years ago and I was BLASTED for even suggesting that could EVER happen that our laws and courts dont matter anymore....FUCK

The only way they will EVER matter again is if we prepare for next month and somehow vote, somehow.
