After ruling the NIH grant cuts were illegal yesterday, Judge Young, a Reagan appointee on the bench since 1985, ended the hearing with a blistering 15-minute speech. I've cleaned up my notes — here are his remarks in full:

(Note that recordings are not allowed in federal court, so this was all derived from fast typing and is subject to typos/limitations of the Zoom audio. A court transcript will follow.)

YOUNG: "There's another aspect of this case — a darker aspect. One that I take very seriously. And it’s this:

I could not — I cannot as a United States district judge read this record without coming to the conclusion — and I am hesitant to draw this conclusion. But I have an unflinching obligation to draw it. That this represents racial discrimination. And discrimination against America's LGBTQ community. That's what this is. I would be blind not to call it out. My duty is to call it out. And I do so.

Now clearly I have no hesitancy in enjoining racial discrimination. I said during the course of the argument, and it is the law, and I must uphold it. And I have no hesitancy in upholding it. The extirpation of affirmative action is a legitimate government policy. It is *not* a license to discriminate on the basis of color. It simply is not. That's what the Civil War Amendments are about. Any discrimination by our government is wrong that it requires the court to enjoin it. And at the appropriate time, I'm gonna do it. Having said that, I welcome, if the parties wish, though I don't require any extension of the record, evidence as to harm so that I may more carefully and accurately frame such an injunction.

It is palpably clear that these directives and the set of terminated grants here are also designed to frustrate — to stop — research that might bear on the health — we’re talking about health here — the health of Americans. Of our LGBTQ community. That's a problem. Having said it, I have very real questions about whether this court has the power to enjoin them. I do not assert such a power though I find the record will be clear to anyone that it has and is occurring under what's going on. Now, I'm speaking only of health care.

I'm speaking only of the parties before me. Nothing else. I don't have a record as to that. It's not the province of this court just to invade against discrimination. But on this record, these two aspects of discrimination are so clear that I would fail in my duty if I did not note. The parties are invited as to those two aspects and — but I make no finding with respect to it — any harm to issues about women’s health.

Gender differences are an appropriate area of research trying to advance the frontiers of science so all Americans have the best health care that we can afford. ...But let me say something about racism. I've never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable. I've sat on this bench now for 40 years. I've never seen government racial discrimination like this.

And I ask myself, ‘How can this be?’ Because on this record anyway, I don't see anyone pushing back against it. Take a look at the people who have been named as defendants here. One of them is a cabinet-level officer. The other is not the same individual, but is now the director of the National Institutes of Health. They are people whose profession has been devoted to the American people and to our society. All our society. They are all American citizens.

Now, I don't claim any high moral ground here. I'm a United States district judge. I have the protections that the founders wrote into the Constitution. Along with imposing upon me a duty to speak the truth in every case, and I try to do that. And so I've asked myself. What if I didn't have those protections? What if my job was on the line? My profession. All a career to which I have devoted whatever poor skill I have. Would I have stood up against all this? Would I have said, ‘you can't do this? You are bearing down on people of color because of their color. The Constitution will not permit that.’

I see nothing in this record. And when I ask myself that question without the protections of an independent judiciary, so necessary for our society, as I know my own part, I do not have an answer to that question for myself. But is it true of our society as a whole? Have we fallen so low? Have we no shame?" (nature.com)

A man checked out 100 books on Jewish history, Black history, and LGBTQ+ education from a library only to burn them

NPR has identified three Trump officials with close ties to antisemitic extremists, including a man described by federal prosecutors as a "Nazi sympathizer," and a prominent Holocaust denier.

Amy Spitalnick, CEO of the Jewish Council for Public Affairs, argues that the administration is using antisemitism as a pretext. "If the administration were serious about countering antisemitism, first and foremost they wouldn't be appointing people with antisemitic and other extremist ties to senior roles within the administration," Spitalnick said.

Federal prosecutors described Hale-Cusanelli as a "Nazi sympathizer" who once went to work at a naval weapons station with a "Hitler mustache." He also recorded a lengthy antisemitic video rant in which he compared Orthodox Jews to a "plague of locusts."

President Trump, during a speech at Fort Bragg, N.C., said on Tuesday that he would restore the names of all Army bases that were named for Confederate generals but were ordered changed by Congress in the waning days of his first administration.

His move skirts the law mandating the removal of Confederate symbols from the military through the same maneuver used to restore the name of Fort Bragg, which was briefly renamed Fort Liberty. In a statement, the Army said it would “take immediate action” to restore the old names of the bases originally honoring Confederates, but the base names would instead honor other American soldiers with similar names and initials.

For example, Fort Eisenhower in Georgia, honoring President Dwight D. Eisenhower — who led the D-Day landings during World War II — would revert to the name Fort Gordon, once honoring John Brown Gordon, the Confederate slave owner and suspected Ku Klux Klan member. (nytimes.com)
