    Is Betsy DeVos Going To Jail?

    “At best it is gross negligence, at worst it’s an intentional flouting of my order,” Kim said. Kim then threatened DeVos with possible jail: “"I'm not sure if this is contempt or sanctions. I'm not sending anyone to jail yet, but it’s good to know I have that ability."


    Kim is referring to her June 2018 ruling in which she ordered the Education Department to stop collecting debt from 16,000 former Corinthian students. Kim ordered that the lawsuit should proceed to determine whether DeVos is in contempt of court and will face sanctions.

    The "rule" was stopped before it was even implemented....But just weeks before then, the Trump Administration reversed course and announced it would “delay” the rule, indefinitely suspending its implementation, and renegotiate it anew. In other words, before it ever took effect, Secretary DeVos announced she planned to effectively kill the 2016 rule while establishing a new one.

    How does a Judge enforce a rule that never was implemented?

    I think the Judiciary in both the UK and US are far too involved in politics, this judge is clearly foaming at the bit to send Betsy DeVos to jail and it's all political... just couldn't resist tossing out that line.

    Yeah because your typical rationalization was so hard to anticipate.

    She specifically said she's not sending anyone to jail yet. You call that foaming at the bit?

    In that case run for your life! This dog is foaming at the mouth!!!

    Devos isn't very bright if she thinks she can defy a court order.

    DeVos in 2001 listed education activism and reform efforts as a means to "advance God's Kingdom".[3][4] In an interview that year, she also said that "changing the way we approach ... the system of education in the country ... really may have greater Kingdom gain in the long run"

    In the US there is doubt that the judiciary is politicized. Look at how judges are in the tank with the anti abortion gang. How about Kavanaugh's middle school girl rant at his confirmation hearing. On the other side of the political fence judges are shamelessly pro gay, pro trans, and pro sexual pervert.

    I did not realize that Betsy Wetsey was a drug and chemical pusher. What deranged unhinged buffoon nominated a drug and chemical pusher to head the department of education? Oh never mind we just ID'd that character.

    She isn't going to to go to jail. If you believe she is or might, then you don't know jack about politics.

    So many Americans re religious what's so evil about that? As for student loan forgiveness she just can't wave it she has a duty to taxpayers that loans taxpayers funded are paid back you go get college is elective by choosing to go on debt your expected to practice proper diligence selecting the school and in seeking an education that will lead to making a good chance at a job. Many spend more time buying a car while don't with going to college on the debt being much higher.

    Many self identifies "religious" people I have encountered are big time hypocrites. When caught their excuse is that " everyone is a sinner and Jesus already foregave us". Do it's sin sin sin away and hide behind the Cruxifiction of Christ" . At least thatbis how many do called Christians act.

    Sexual perversion such as pedophilia is a " human right"? Well that is what too many Catholic priests believe. Recently in New Haven CT a Rabbi was convicted of Porking a young boy. So no I am not just picking on Christians other cults do evil things in the name of religion.

    Anyway we are getting a little of topic.
