But, #DonaldTrump's shutdown and Judge Leon's decision made the courts political.
The judge sympathized with the plaintiffs, but ultimately said he had to weigh the interests of the public as well as federal workers. He added that the judiciary branch is dealing with its own hardships as a result of the shutdown but said he did not want the courts to be a factor in the ongoing debate about funding the government.
“The judiciary is not another source of leverage,” Leon said.
By this decision the judge decided it doesn't matter if or how long a shutdown lasts, workers gotta work.
In #TrumpNation indentured servitude is the new "deep state".
