Good to be back with you, Ben.
So Congress passed a law.
This is not an executive order.
Congress passed a law defunding Planned Parenthood.
And this judge is saying that that is unconstitutional for several reasons.
First of all, that it's a bill of attainder, which is an odd argument.
A bill of attainder is criminally prosecuting somebody, targeting someone for criminal prosecution without due process.
Doesn't really apply to a defunding bill, but anyway, uh equal.
Protection that Planned Parenthood is being denied somehow its equal treatment under the law and a violation of the First Amendment because Planned Parenthood engages in advocacy and that advocacy is now being restricted.
I mean, it is crazy, possibly the craziest district court uh order I've seen.
Uh, again, not against the Trump administration, against the government, against the duly enacted law uh in quite some time.
I think this is going to be uh
uh reverse pretty quickly.
Absolutely.
I mean, everyone engages in speech in some way.
Everyone has a PR department.
They issue uh press statements, what have you.
Absolutely.
And and the bill of attainder thing is just so ridiculous.
I mean, remember the TikTok bill that Congress passed in a bipartisan manner?
