Oregon rejected foster application of woman who didn’t agree with LGBTQ child respect rule. Now she’s suing
U.S. District Judge Adrienne Nelson asked lawyers Wednesday, "Who takes priority?... Should it be the rights of a prospective foster or adoptive parent or those of a child who has experienced instability in a home and needs placement by the state?"
We really need a law that, if a state/federal agency gets successfully sued, they get their budget slashed next year. We need disincentives; as is, the taxpayer ends up paying for it.
I still hope she wins, as fuck these jackasses in government, and it will still send a message...but I would love for the government to have to pay, not the people from whom they steal money.
All of the tools to do exactly this were already provided in the bill of rights, but we're all too chicken-shit to do our duty.
Including me.
Budget slashed and the offending parties all fired/blacklisted out of government work and pensions.
Because only slashing the budget punishes everyone but doesn't actually remove the problem. Who, since they are government employees are still incredibly difficult to remove and still get lots of benefits when they are.
I fully accept and embrace your addendums.
