“The evidence shows that Plaintiff displayed the 8647 flag to urge that Congress impeach and remove President Trump from office,” Moss wrote."
"An Obama-appointed federal judge temporarily blocked the National Park Service from removing an anti-Trump “86 47” flag displayed near the National Mall, siding with a progressive activist group in a dispute that has drawn criticism from President Donald Trump’s administration.
"The ruling allows the flag to remain in place for at least 14 days while litigation continues.
Trump Administration Pushes Back
"The case centers on a permit dispute between the National Park Service and Accountability Now USA, a progressive activist organization that raised the flag near the National Mall.
"The Department of the Interior sharply criticized the ruling.
“This opinion is from an Obama-appointed judge,” a Department of the Interior spokesperson said in a statement.
“In what world have we lost all decency, to demand that any threat against the President be taken very seriously.”
“While the Department shall and does comply with the Court’s orders, this type of behavior should not be tolerated.”
"U.S. District Judge Randolph Moss granted a temporary restraining order Monday after the group argued that efforts to revoke its permit violated its First Amendment rights." . . .
