Lawsuit by former Judge Tania Nemer says she was targeted for being a Lebanese American woman and Democrat, testing the limits of Article II power over the immigration courts.
Go get her! Pam Bondi is just another trump suckup. Bondi needs to be disbarred and maybe jailed. I, for one, would like that to happen. Justice is what America needs NOW!
Thank you so much for information about this important case. The termination was imposed without good cause snd appears to violate the employment discrimination laws she based her case on. I’m so happy to hear of an immigration judge pushing back against the regime’s unlawful racism , sexism and abuse of our civil service laws supporting government employees.
I hope she succeeds. Even if she wins in the lower courts, though, the supreme trump court has already signaled its intention to concentrate more power over firing and hiring in the president’s hands. And they've green-lighted having ICE detain people on the basis of ethnic characteristics, so they might not be too fussed about firing someone based on gender or race. Let’s see what they think about 1st amendment protections.
I hope this suit goes to SCOTUS. Ruth Bader Ginsberg used to say that change comes sometimes with a good DISSENT. Even if the suit doesn't win the 3 SCOTUS Justices of democracy might write some strong dissent. There needs to a Code of Ethics for SCOTUS. That might happen as soon as the midterms, if Dems win.
I’m done cataloging the sins of the past, and only interested in the wrongs of this administration for purposes of reckoning. I’d much prefer to look to the future and how to structure the kind of world in which we want to live.
For that reason, I have developed THE COMMON GOOD MANIFESTO
A Social Democratic Vision for a Free, Fair, and Honest America
America deserves a government that serves the people—not billionaires, corporations, lobbyists, or criminals. We can no longer pretend that democracy can survive under the weight of unchecked corruption, extreme wealth concentration, and systems deliberately designed to silence the public. The future belongs to a nation that is fair, humane, and honest. This manifesto outlines that path.
I. CLEAN GOVERNMENT AND REAL DEMOCRACY
We demand a democracy that cannot be bought.
Release the Epstein files and expose every abuser of power.
Overturn Citizens United and ban dark money in politics.
Abolish the Electoral College and protect equal representation.
Standardized, nonpartisan redistricting to end gerrymandering permanently.
Paper ballots nationwide—no unverifiable voting machines.
Two-term limits for all elected offices and mandatory retirement at 70.
No federal office for convicted felons.
Relentlessly prosecute political corruption, from the presidency downward.
Impeach, convict, and imprison Donald Trump and every handler who aided his abuses.
Democracy must belong to the people again.
II. A MORAL ECONOMY THAT SERVES EVERYONE
A just nation lifts people up rather than crushing them for profit.
Restore 1950s-era progressive tax rates, including a top bracket above 90%.
Eliminate the Social Security cap and tax capital gains for Social Security.
Establish a $25/hour minimum wage, indexed to inflation automatically.
Forgive all student loans and make university tuition-free for all.
Fund free, universal childcare for every family.
Dramatic pay increases for teachers, social workers, librarians, artists, and museum workers—the people who hold society together.
The economy should serve human beings, not the other way around.
III. UNIVERSAL RIGHTS FOR A DIGNIFIED LIFE
Healthcare, education, and family security are human rights.
Medicare for All—a single, public, universal system with no premiums, no copays, no deductibles, and no private intermediaries.
Replace the fragmented A/B/C/D alphabet soup with one simple, public plan for every American.
Abolish ICE and rebuild immigration systems around dignity, justice, and humanity. Every person deserves freedom from fear, poverty, and exploitation.
IV. A GOVERNMENT OF HONESTY, JUSTICE, AND ACCOUNTABILITY
We must rebuild a republic rooted in truth.
Government must be transparent, ethical, and relentlessly focused on the public good.
Corruption must be prosecuted, not tolerated.
Public office is a responsibility—not a path to power, wealth, or immunity.
A new political era begins when we demand nothing less than decency, fairness, and accountability.
THE PROMISE OF A NEW AMERICAN SOCIAL DEMOCRACY
We seek a nation where democracy cannot be bought, where work is valued, where families thrive, where rights are universal, and where justice reaches even the most powerful.
This is not radical. It is humane. It is moral.
It is the America we were always meant to build.
Please share this widely. If we don’t make it clear what kind of world we want to live in, we won’t get it. Ain’t no oligarch gonna just do this out of the goodness of their heart. If we speak loud together, maybe we can change the world!
Wonderful! I wish all of them would sue her.

Hooray for her! May justice be served. As always, thanks for your great reporting.

Go get her! Pam Bondi is just another trump suckup. Bondi needs to be disbarred and maybe jailed. I, for one, would like that to happen. Justice is what America needs NOW!

Can’t imagine how a corrupted Supreme Court will rule 🙄
Sorry judge Nemer, but haven’t you heard? Racism is legal now. Sexism is legal now.
You are not white or male.
