A federal judge has halted a loan forgiveness program for farmers of color in response to a lawsuit alleging the program discriminates against white farmers.
A federal judge in Wisconsin has issued a restraining order freezing the Biden administration's loan-forgiveness program for non-white farmers, pending a ruling on whether basing benefits on skin color is constitutional.
The Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled Friday that local health departments do not have the authority to close schools due emergencies like the coronavirus pandemic.
Biden Administration’s Blatant Institutional Racism Gets Rebuke from Sixth Circuit
Margot Cleveland, The Federalist, June 1, 2021
Last week, while the press drooled over the president’s ice cream selection, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals in
Vitolo v. Guzman declared unconstitutional the Biden administration’s race-based approach to distributing COVID-relief funds.
While
Vitolo only addressed the race- and sex-based reverse discrimination in the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, the precedent could prove fatal to many other federal and state statutes, regulations, or practices, leaving the Biden administration with a difficult choice: accept defeat in
Vitolo and risk a domino effect, or appeal and face an even more unpalatable decision from a newly comprised Supreme Court.
