The spaceship hidden by the comet’s tail

Rep. Andy Ogles (come on writers) is filing articles of impeachment against a radical leftist judge who granted a temporary restraining order against the Trump administration for ordering a bunch of federal agencies to take down things from their government websites which purportedly reflect “gender ideology.”

A Republican member of Congress announced he’d introduced an article of impeachment against a Washington federal judge who ruled against the Trump administration in a public health case, the latest effort to remove judges hearing challenges to the president’s actions.

In a resolution posted on X on Monday, Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) claimed Senior Judge John Bates of the US District Court for the District of Columbia engaged in misconduct and promoted a “grave moral evil” by ordering health agencies to restore certain webpages with health information and datasets.

The webpages were taken down under Donald Trump’s executive order to remove any agency statements that “promote or otherwise inculcate gender ideology.”

Ogles said in the impeachment resolution that Bates “failed to consider” that these webpages contained information about gender-affirming care, and “at no time in the history of the American judicial system, until very recently, would judges have considered the purposeful damage to the bodies of healthy young men and women to be a compelling or even legitimate health concern.”

Who is this “radical activist judge” — Der Sturmer’s The Federalist’s characterization of him if you want to get out of the boat — who went so far as to issue a minor procedural roadblock to the further advancement of the New Order?

Bates was on detail as Deputy Independent Counsel for the Whitewater investigation from 1995 to mid-1997. In 1998, he joined the Washington, D.C. law firm of Miller & Chevalier, where he was Chair of the Government Contracts/Litigation Department and a member of the executive committee. From September 1995 until leaving in March 1997, Bates worked as Deputy Independent Counsel for Kenneth Starr and the Independent Counsel’s office during the investigation into President Bill Clinton. . .

On September 4, 2001, Bates was nominated by President George W. Bush to a seat on the United States District Court for the District of Columbia,
