Get woke, go broke

For months, incarcerated people across the country have received conflicting and confusing information about whether they can legally collect federal coronavirus stimulus funds, while the Internal Revenue Service flip-flopped on the question. 

A federal judge recently made clear that those behind bars do qualify for the $1,200 checks, approved by Congress earlier this year as part of the largest economic aid package in U.S. history. U.S. District Judge Phyllis Hamilton ruled the decision to exclude them was arbitrary and capricious.

    That money should go to the families of their victims.

    Not sure whether to blame the incompetent Congress or idiot activist judges. The entire point of the stimulus was to help WORKING people get through due to loss or reduction of employment and not to help support prisoners who are already costing the state monies.

    Such BS. Those checks should then go to the cost of their incarceration.

    Judge appointed by Bill Clinton, with little or no objection by the GOP.

    Sickening.

    This asshat is the CHIEF JUDGE for the Northern District of Califuitopia. Appointed by Bill Clinton. That tells you all you need to know about this ruling.

      Lots of commie judges and AG's and others appointed by commies (Clintons/bush/obama) need to be convinced to retire.
