Trump not held in contempt in WA gender-affirming care case

A judge has denied the Washington attorney general’s attempt to hold the Trump administration in contempt over allegations it flouted a court order in a case involving hospital grant funding for gender-affirming care.

The attorney general’s office argued President Donald Trump overstepped in canceling a grant to Seattle Children’s Hospital despite a court order blocking Trump’s attempt to halt federal funding for institutions that provide gender-affirming care for transgender youth.

At the time of the cancellation, U.S. District Court Judge Lauren King’s temporary restraining order in the case was active. Later the same day, King indefinitely blocked Trump’s executive order with a preliminary injunction.

The state had asked King to hold the administration in contempt and award attorney’s fees. She declined to do so on Monday.

... it almost appears as though the state's judiciary is colluding with, and bowing to, Trump's grotesquely corrupt DOJ.
Could it be that the Trump regime is flouting legal procedures to fuel public anger to a boiling point, and thereby justifying the imposition of martial law? There's no "could be" about it; that's exactly what they're doing.
And the 10-piece band continues to play "Nearer, My God, To Thee", while scolding those in the water for overreacting.
Silence is complicity.
