Still trying to wrap my head around the rationale of this judgement.

You're assigning rational thought to a liberal judge. Your head will explode before it ever makes sense.

Like I said in my first response on this thread, just ignore this idiot. He's overstepping his jurisdiction and not even correct in his assertions/assessments.

perhaps the trump administration's strategy of spamming questionably legal orders and praying the judiciary doesn't slap them down is not a durable or effective governance model



I guess your former handle "Old McDonald" took the perma ban, huh?! LOL

The posts emanating from this new handle are just as weapons grade stupid.
nah it was just tied to a disposable email and 2fa locked me out, easier to just start fresh. you won't get rid of me that easily, cassius


Good. We welcome weak commentary from the left,
well you won't find any from me

Was looking at Indian press.
Look at the arrogance. "huge win for Indians". And yes, "global talent" (yes, we know). So they spend all their time figuring out ways to sneak into the US.

It's almost a certainty the Obama-judge Sorokin decision will be appealed to the 1st circuit. It's a pretty weak opinion, imho.

But, I do doubt the order will be stayed pending appeal.

Trump administration appeals ruling blocking $100,000 H-1B fee
https://www.cnbc.com/2026/06/11/trump-h1b-visa-fee-appeal.html

Quote:
  • The Trump administration is appealing a ruling that struck down a new $100,000 H-1B fee.
  • Judge Leo Sorokin ruled on June 8 that the fee functioned as a tax that Congress had not authorized.
  • The H-1B program is heavily used by tech companies and other employers seeking high-skilled foreign workers.

    • But when the left wants something it is a fee (see Obama Care) not a tax. Got it.

    These ****ing judges are maddening! This is the blueprint for Republicans when the dems are in power. Just file appeals with conservative judges and stop them in their tracks. Of course with Republicans we'll either be ******* and not file appeals or GOP appointed judges will "do the right thing" and allow the dems to destroy the country.
    Sure would be nice if we fought as hard as they do.

    It's been appealed already per above.

    I hope Trump decides to double it to $200K once reversed on remand. Call it a 'Leo Sorokin executive finding/order'.

    I mean I don't know why I have to say it but I guess I do. You are getting infinity H-1Bs. It doesn't matter who is the President. You are getting infinity H-1Bs. It doesn't matter what your favorite politician says. You are getting infinity H-1Bs. It doesn't matter that the GOP is going to get rid of H-1Bs. You are getting infinity H-1Bs

    No we absolutely don't need it (and don't want it). Doesn't matter,

    You got it.
    All the powerful people make money in this. It is a pipeline. Business owners, politicians (who get bribed), immigration lawyers, house builders, restaurants etc.

    It is a race to the bottom long term though even if it looks like we are benefitting short term.

    I'm not even surprised by this, frankly, given TAMU's leadership these past 10+ years.
