A federal judge on Monday temporarily barred the removal of a memorial to Confederate soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery after a push from a citizens group and some GOP lawmakers.
The temporary restraining order, issued by U.S. District Judge Rossie D. Alston Jr. in Alexandra, Va., comes just one day after a group called Defend Arlington, which is affiliated with a group called Save Southern Heritage Florida, filed a suit against the Department of Defense seeking a restraining order against the memorial’s removal.
It is set to expire at 5 p.m. Wednesday following an expected hearing Wednesday morning.
I mean the “citizen’s group”, and the members of GOP. The Judge might not be complicit as they might just be exercising due process or extreme caution, but they do deserve the side eye.
