I was very angry with the Legislature, with Gov. Newsom for not having the foresight to see basic assumptions that people are going to want treatment (is) not reality. The biggest problem is there is no teeth in CARE Court. It's not everyone's right to die on the street, and that's very well what might happen to my son.

The Younger abstention doctrine provides that federal courts are not to interfere with pending state criminal proceedings. The doctrine is rarely invoked in regulatory disputes, but it can block federal courts from intervening when state criminal prosecutions are already underway.

2 months agoVirginia district became the front lines of the DOJ's fight with judges
Catch me up: Halligan departed nearly two months after U.S. District Judge Cameron Currie ruled her appointment unconstitutional and after judges publicly questioned her authority in blistering orders. The ruling torpedoed indictments against ex-FBI director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James. While the government appealed the ruling, it never sought a stay. Yet Halligan kept using the title, and judges repeatedly struck "United States Attorney" from her filings and questioned her authority.
