A federal judge has issued a historic decision to temporarily block the US Postal Service and Postmaster General Louis DeJoy from changing a wide swath of USPS policies or protocols ahead of November's presidential election

The opinion from Judge Stanley Bastian in Eastern Washington's US District Court enjoin Trump administration postal policies as harmful to voters' ability to cast ballots this November and deliberately suppressive to voters. It places the judge at the center of a political furor in which the court steps into the extraordinary position of stopping the entire USPS from making any changes that may affect efficient mail delivery nationwide.

Some of the Democratic state officials who brought the lawsuit cheered the judge's decision."Huge victory to protect the Postal Service -- Washington state federal judge blocks unlawful USPS policies delaying mail and impacting elections," tweeted Washington state Attorney General Bob Ferguson, who led the coalition of Democratic attorneys general.

3 años hay HAMBRE Y NESECIDAD LOS POLÍTICOS ROBAN LAS ALLUDAS ENVIADAS ATENCIÓN FBI CORUPCION PUERTO RICO Y DIOS te ALLUDARA

Democrats desperate to win the Presidency by false moves. You have come badly unstuck now though !

A judge can’t give that order without an appeal

Keep America free from tyrants and lunacy’s.

JoyVBehar Awesome

JoyVBehar Nothing will happen to correct the situation. The damage has already been done. The courts will be busy but in the end the Postmaster General will go scot free and be rewarded by the President.

Good luck with enforcing that! Bill Barr to the rescue😡

This shouldn’t be “historic”, it should be the norm.

Look at the press release on the k1 lawsuit. Travel state is prohibiting US citizens from getting married! eNCA SABCNews SABCNews cnni CNN FoxNews NBCNews Trevornoah TheDailyShow Newzroom405 BBCWorld nytimes ABC SkyNews 90DayFiance

If you believe so strongly in the postal system, go out and mail yourself $500. How many of you would do it?

Next stop, appeal, nothing will happen.

TheTeddiAlaina Ef that neanderthug lock up every last one of these SOB’s including Trumps parents

JoyVBehar Nice to see that the law still works. There is someone, something out there that still stands up for what's right. Someone who will protect the time honored sanctity of the vote even when our prez won't. imo mym

“Let’s Roll”, people......move, get active, and busy, there is work to be done !

Great decision. Too bad they can't retrieve the destroyed sorting machines though.

Lock him up

Election mail has always been treated as first class.

It’s a ashame voting is gonna be a death sentence to some this election year. But I personally don’t care. I’m gonna vote this Buffon out of office. I’ll be up bright and early.

Political not historic. Hopefully he’ll be replaced by a judge that rules by law not politics soon.

Trump is separating America, Red’s against Blue’s! Almost trying to create a Civil War! just remember... Next Step the Blue states will consider not spending money toward red states & Vice a versa.

Way to go

Now even the cats and dogs will vote for Biden.

Crooked Americans will never learn. Assuming Trump wins, which is unlikely, De joy will be amongst the first to be sacked.

Where have you fxxxing been in the last few months? Under a ROCK?

Judge need be fired replace by republican judge

Interesting how for 25 years the USPS has been cutting service and no one( media & politicians) gave a crap but NOW they care...why? Because the plan is to blame the USPS for the Democrats election loss and not themselves.

Thank goodness someone has a brain. To think the dismantling of the PO was anything else then a political ploy by the Republicans, to take away the people's vote during a pandemic belongs to the 'Dumb Cult.'

That was a waste cause it had already been done voluntarily back when it first came up.

Rachel__Nichols Mail in voting except for absentee ballots is unnecessary. Most states have weeks of early voting prior to Election Day. The fact you tards don’t realize the party pushing for mail ballots is also the one with a long history of stolen elections is mind boggling.

A different judge will overturn

DanielN61841575 Trump is going to turn a deeper shade of orange when he hears this.🤣🤣🤣🤣

Way out of bounds.

Congratulations fed judge for taking a stand for justice rather than politicking for Trump.

America under siege, Trumpism🤦

Danniyoki blasted davido burnaboy and wizkidayo in video over unnecessary competitions👇

Person. Man. Postal. Service. Segregation.

The United States is burning in the fire of dictator Trump's disorder and mismanagement in the name of freedom.📣📣📣💪

This will not withstand a test of law. Judges can not create policy.

That won’t stand. Take it to the SC. Democrats are trying to cheat

Where he get a USPS mask⁉️SMH.

Watch CNN reporter get owned by the press secretary! 😂😂😂😂

Checkmate realDonaldTrump

Pls extend 1y out-of-country limitation for green card holders who were locked overseas duo to COVID-19. Help them back home!

DemRedistrict So happy!

One would think that ALL ballots and materials should be sent at the first class rate. I noticed that here in California that the ballots must be postmarked by NOV 3rd. How is it even possible for these ballots be delivered on NOV 3rd and be counted by election people in time?

Finally we get a break, I hope things go back to normal but Devoy might defy the court order anyway... it wouldn’t surprise me

DemRedistrict 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

YES!

Finally!!!!!

If you wonder what a country heading towards becoming a fascist state looks like just open your eyes, look around and listen. trumpfacism

About time someone takes control.

But will DeJoy follow the orders?

That’s true [de] Joy de Vivre for the USPS

Excellent 👍

Mail voting is more safer than those electric voting machines made in China. Those machines are huge security risk.

These judges are becoming political, cheat by mail is the only way to victory by the demokkkrats

cptnwillie 🎉👏👏👏👏👏

Pog

The saddest part about all this is how bad the left is brainwashed by the MSM and democrat machine.

Well, that should put them under in short order.

YES!

Key word here - Temporarily

DeJoy must reinstall all removed mail sort machines w/his own💰. Taxpayers shouldn’t waste a penny on conman who got USPMG JOB by pay-to-play, & to rig elections. maddow SpeakerPelosi RepCohen foxnews, ewarren Lawrence AliVelshi JoyAnnReid nypost RepKatiePorter

This is crazy. Who is actually in charge of this country?

Barr will try to get this undone

This is good news. I sincerely hope this measure will prove effective.

troycoverdale I'm down with it.

Why would any sane person remove mail sorting machines? So you have to do it all by hand?

TrumpIsALoser

Will they do do? Who will check, oversee, supervise? HELP!!

MSM will report anything against Trump whether it's real or not. It's a contest now. Who can lie & damage the most. We know already who are bias networks. It will fire Trumps & independents somemore. This will backfire. People like underdogs

Yeah !!!! Thank god !! Now arrest this guy DeJoy

Tbh Where I work it has always been treated that way.

You are sooo out of touch ! Do your homework! For as long as I’ve worked at the post office, political mail mid always considered first class mail ! Just shows how ignorant you are

Yaaaayyyy

Right on as it should be. I believe Trump should be thrown out of the race. Who knows what else He's done?

Does that include the changes made in spring 2016. That’s when the mail really slowed down!

IT'S ABOUT GOD DAM TIME!

VoteLikeYourLifeDependsOnIt CountEveryVote YourVoteMatters

LOL, sorry but this liberal judge does not have the authority to order anything to the post office, NONE this will be over turned, it's amazing how judges think they make policy.

Another Obama appointee activist Judge

Excellent 😎🇦🇺

Thank you your honor!

Fingers crossed the decision has big scary teeth.

I'm shocked!

Will he be held personally and financially for damage to government equipment?

Judges making law. Wow.

Well, he didn’t stop his tactics. This is where a blue box has been for years at my high traffic grocery entrance in Auburn WA. There is a post office around the corner, however, the traffic here is elderly and lower income proving it difficult to make it the half mile to USPS.

'A politically motivated attack': Federal judge says he'll block USPS changes after mail delaysJudge Stanley Bastian found the U.S. Postal Service was 'involved in a politically motivated attack on the efficiency' which would 'irreparably harm the states’ ability to administer the 2020 general election.' I don't care what Stanley Bastian found. Show me his legitimate findings of fact AND the evidence. I use their informed delivery tool and this week alone 2 pieces didn’t show up. It’s about 6 pieces in the past 3 months. Thankfully they tend to be “junk mail” pieces that go mia. Still, super shady This is not gonna stop DeJoy from destroying USPS

US judge blocks Postal Service changes that slowed mailA U.S. judge blocks controversial Postal Service changes that slowed mail, calling them “a politically motivated attack on the efficiency of the Postal Service” before the November election. Each action MoscowMitch, MoscowBarr, MoscowTrump utilize are unlawfully driven. I wonder if each of these politicians realize that Presidents are replaced, & each breaking the laws of our USA Constitution will be held responsible in these scams. JOE BIDEN IS LAW AND ORDER. USPS Indiana delivered to me three official ballots to me - carrier misplaced them into OUR mailbox! Question is? Will DeJOY restore what he has destroyed? Sorting machines, mail drop boxes, etc.
