Judge Halts Bloomberg's Sugar Drink Ban, Calls It Illegal, Arbitrary And Capricious
Just hitting the tape ahead of tomorrow's scheduled hit of Bloomberg's ban on "large sugary drinks":
- Judge invalidates New York City's ban on large sugary drinks; ban had been scheduled to take effect tomorrow.
- Judge says sugar drink limit "illegal"
- Judge finds ban to be arbitrary and capricious.
Has the time come to ban independently thinking judicial authorities who don't agree with multi-term Spanish-speaking authoritarians?
A state judge on Monday stopped Mayor Michael Bloomberg's administration from banning New York City restaurants and other venues from selling large sugary drinks, a major defeat for the mayor who has made public a health initiatives a cornerstone of his tenure at city Hall.
The city is "enjoined and permanently restrained from implementing or enforcing the new regulations," New York Supreme Court Judge Milton Tingling decided Monday.
The regulations are "fraught with arbitrary and capricious consequences," the judge wrote. "The simple reading of the rule leads to the earlier acknowledged uneven enforcement even within a particular city block, much less the city as a whole….the loopholes in this rule effectively defeat the state purpose of the rule."
We pray Judge Tingling didn't miss a comma or two in his New York State bar exam or else Holder will have a drone on permament patrol above his home.

His name was Milton Tingling

This is totally important!
Drone that motherfucker!
Goddamn activist bench!
If I could like this comment 50 times I would. Made my day!!!
Where you stand depends upon where you sit and of course whose lined your pockets!
What’s the big deal?
Bloomberg’s dictates are only offensive and illegal if you take the Constitution seriously.
Make no mistake. As a NYC "outerborough" resident my "Bloomberg Offense Detector" melted down sometime in spring 2003. The nerves went numb and really all I get is a dull whine.
But, welcome to the party, pal.
Fuck Bloomberg. Call the Judge and tell him thanks! http://www.nycourtsystem.com/applications/judicialdirectory/Bio.php?ID=7...
Damn, that sounds bad. Right? Thank you, brother!
"illegal, arbitrary and capricious..."
sounds like a jackie chiles routine...

If I was mayor of NYC I'd ban all short people with the last name of Bloomberg.

i can see that little muthafucker now...getting his step stool out and climbing up in the big peoples chair with the phone books on it and typing out a piece of his mind....i hope he breaks his fucking legs getting down.....
looks like napolian bloomberg could reach the down arrow..or is it his mother....
Napoleon reference is always make Russian laugh. Boris is laugh so hard is make 32 ounce of Cherry Coke expel through nasal cavity!
King Bloomberg gets his ass kicked.....have a big gulp on me Amigo.
I hear they're looking for a new Pope.
Might want to consider applying for that position.
The judge looks like the dude from The Green Mile.
Judges, all is look same.
dont mess with the bro's grape soda.
Hmmm I hope he's not diabetic
Looks like he had a few too many sugary drinks himself
That's what Freedom looks like ... free people making their own choices.
I'd go a step further and say that's what priming demand for healthcare in order to dilute per person costs looks like. If everyone in the world has diabetes, then health.gov gets a volume discount for insulin! And that's all that counts, right!
It's not just a banana republic, it's a hyperbanana republic!
After drinking all that sugary soda, none of those hyper banana's could be found hanging around in their hammocks.

It is probably high fructose corn syrup which is genetically modified (to be a pesticide or to make herbicide saturation possible) and high in mercury content.
ENJOY!
PS - If you support cane sugar (non GMO) drinks and remove support form GMO pesticide/herbicide "food," you will get better quality food that won't drive as much chronic disease.
That's bad for Big Agra and Big Pharma.
soda drinkers and judges that side with soda drinkers are all 'Enemy Combatants'......release the drones.
It's outrageous, egregious............preposterous!
Maestro tell you to ban the sodas?

Tried to, seems like the nycourtsystem.com site is temporarily unavailable. Jeez, I wonder how much they spend on their "web presence" and it can't handle a few thousand concurrent connections....
He'll just task his "5th largest army in the world" with stop-n-dump. I fucking hate him.
"Has the time come to ban independently thinking judicial authorities who don't agree with multi-term Spanish-speaking authoritarians?"
Why, yes, yes it has..
Almost forgot.
Judge, please avoid all hot tubs and any body of standing water more than one inch deep, (you know the drill).
Thank you, and good luck.
"capricious"
I love it when they use those big words.
Half of the US population won't know what that means.
It's the sugary kids drink that comes in silver bags, right?
I think it is a sign of the Zodiac, or has something to do with goats. Both should be illegal anyway --- for the children!
Yeah, but I can't put that on my EBT card.
Yep, it is. It comes right behind Aquarium and Feces.
Thank you for the goat reference.
It's good to see that ZH denizens are mindful of our classical heritage.

8+ years after Bloomberg bought and sold NYC and pissed on every binding document from parking tickets to the City Charter to the Constitution, people are suddenly wise and angry.
That boat sailed. Plenty of other things to be mad about.
Hey look, big gulp ban! [swipes your wallet]
I guess you could call this "the soda straw that broke the camel's back."
May I please have a 32 oz coke and large bottle of Makers Mark?
... and a straw...
... and a large bag of chips
Maybe this will set the stage for a 4-loko comeback?
pods
and hold the coke.
Victory for Freedom.

Fuck you Al-caida
