Federal judge halts new U.S. rules limiting credit card late fees | Bank lobbyists challenged the legality of the cap, which was set to take effect next week.

The judge is a Trump appointee.. I'll also note that he's in Texas, where the rules against judge-shopping aren't being applied, so the suit was likely filed with advance knowledge that he'd be hearing it.

Let them fucking secede if they want to make their own rules so bad. As we say in Oklahoma, it’s 11:30 and Texas still sucks

Fucking crazy to think that Oklahoma sucks less than Texas these days.

Oklahoma has no illusions about what they are, Texas on the other hand thinks their the greatest thing since the discovery of fire.

Every Trump appointee should be considered a threat to America.

They're not serving Americans.

I’m sure the blatant criminality of this will be thoroughly uncovered and reported in our fine modern corporate news media. Then people will see the dangers of allowing a demented, incompetent rapist to appoint judges.

Right?

Or... We could just talk about It on social media and in the news then enough of us will ignore the story in lieu of a single issue that we are completely misinformed on and vote him back in and allow him to escape without significant consequences.
