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.
The city is "enjoined and permanently restrained from implementing or enforcing the new regulations," New York Supreme Court Judge Milton Tingling decided Monday while slurping up the last noisy dregs of a 7/11 Big Gulp...
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?
The regulations are "fraught with arbitrary and capricious consequences..."

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.
You know he might have meant Capri Sun but was loaded when he wrote it.

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?

and hold the coke.
Victory for Freedom.

The return of the green mile?
How about tackling obesity at its source. There isn't 1 gram of sugar in any soda drinks anymore unless you special order them. It is the HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP that is the fucking problem. But NOoooo, Bloombut knows better for that is a highly traded commodity now adays. Bloombush wouldn't dare cut off the hands that feed him or any other two bit low life blood sucking cock squesing piece of shit that he and the rest of his ilk are. There I feel a lot better.

Haha not important but it will still be fun to see Boobberg's petulent pissface when the press asks him about it.
I have a theory that the ban was part of a larger plot whereby Bloomberg would confiscate the Big Gulp cups so that he could stand on them behind the podium at press conferences and look less dwarfish.
Yes, Dark Helmet is indeed altitudinally-challenged (in addition to being morally and Constitutionally challenged).
I wonder if he has to ask for a phone book for his chair when he eats out at restaurants --- or has he made phone books illegal in NYC too? Maybe he will just mandate that all chair seats must be at least 30 inches from the floor.
It really isn't all that important in the grand scheme of things, but I do get satisfaction from the idea of Bloomberg getting kicked where it hurts — right in the vagina.
I've said it before, it's always the Little Men you've got to watch. Fucking little stuntbodies will try to kill you every time, it's like the Lollipop Guild was some sort of assassin's den.
Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Rahm, Marshal Applewhite, Napoleon, the list just goes on and on. They have some sort of genetic pre-disposition to be tiny little assholes who love to meddle with other people's lives.
We need to bring back dwarf-tossing to combat them. That's what held them in check for centuries.
You forgot about little man Krugman, the most malevolent dwarf of all.
Not that you hate midgets or anything though....
+1 for "Dark Helmet" reference. Perfect for him.
Now he's gonna get Moooooochelle involved.

It actually is
Nominate him for Attorney General!
wow. my first response was a Big Gulp!
Let 'em drink as much of that shit as they want and have Darwin sort 'em out!
The ultimate result of shielding men from the effects of folly, is to fill the world with fools.

Ban Bloomberg and the millions he pours annually into gun control efforts.
HAHA jewberg.
Do we really have to bring religion into this?
Always.
Next up, ban unconstitutional and arbitrary NY gun control laws.
that is gonna piss the fuhrer off big time!
“To conquer a nation, first remove from the citizens the Big Bulp.” Herr Bloomberg
It is confidence in the men and women who administer the judicial system that is the true backbone of the rule of law. Time will one day heal the wound to that confidence that will be inflicted by today's decision. One thing, however, is certain. Although we may never know with complete certainty the identity of the winner of this year's Presidential election, the identity of the loser is perfectly clear. It is the Nation's confidence in the judge as an impartial guardian of the rule of law.
– former Justice John Paul Stevens's dissent from the infamous 5-4 ruling in Bush v. Gore.
Of course, we do know what the results of another recount would have been. Bush would have won. And of course John Paul Stevens was a commie blowhard.
"Although we may never know with complete certainty the identity of the winner..."
In fact there was a clear winner. GWB. The NYT, and many other organizations investigated throughly. They all declared that GWB had won in FL.
Of course this was not splayed all over the MSM like perhaps JP Stevens pathetic remark.
The same NYT that got dumbasses believeing Saddam was going to nuke us in 45 minutes? Yeah, that's fucking credible. That's like asking Soviet Pravda to tell the fucking truth...
This just makes me all warm and fizzy inside.
In yo face muthafucka!
Poor judge, now his ass has to constantly watch for falling pianos.
Bloomban
what a fucking stupid proposal of a ban.
me personally, i only drink water pretty much, none of that sugary drinks, but people should be able to drink whatever they want. yes its not healthy, but there are plenty of stuff, such as ciggarates and alcohol that are a lot worse for you, yet i dont here any proposal for a ban on those items.
let people do what they want, its there bodies, most stuff in this world is not healthy. why not just close down all fast food restuarants, ice cream parlors, etc while we r at it.
It has nothing to do with health or public well-being. It is behavioral conditioning, "we will tell you what you can and cannot drink, and you will listen!"
You left out "And we'll allow alcohol and tobacco because some people are addicted to those products, and we can tax them out the wazoo and they won't do a thing about it."
Fucking hypocritical bastards.
Glorious stadiums will be erected through the tax of sin (alcohol and tobacco), along with huge government subsidies and sweetheart low interest rate loan deals for all who build. The circuses are alive and well. Eat MOAR peas.
Sports, the olympics, TV, Hollywood, and political campaigns ARE the modern day "stadiums". People cheer for their own slaughter and mental destruction
The authoritarian parasites learned well from past empires' distraction techniques.
Exactly. Just a few days ago he was saying the government "probably" shouldn't force people to exercise. Notice there's no hint that they don't have that option in the statement, or that people have a right to refuse to do what the government tells them; "probably not" force people to exercise is restraint in his mind.
This guy is on a power trip that would make most dictators blush and he doesn't even realize it.
Funny how "non-partisan" plays out, huh?
Won't somebody please think about the children!

lol
bread and circuses
This makes me happy on so many levels, and I almost never drink soda...
We need more fat people.
You will not decrease slave intake of high fructose corn syrup. The legal system has spoken.
In fact, that shit is free from now on!
Impeach Obama Now!
Hey buddy, you're impeaching to the choir here!
Yes impeach him NOW so you you don't get anymore of the same for the next forthy years or is it frothy years. How the last steaming pile of shit hundred years were OH so much better than this. "Change you can't believe in", is all you have left brother.
Fuck You Bl00mberg.
Couldn't have happened to a nicer Doucheberg...it actually brings a smile to my face!
A spark of sanity.
Unfortunately all the businesses that had to throw away all their 32/64 oz cups and(buy smaller ones) and print new menus,marketing material are screwed again!
Can we get that same judge to rule on Drones
When they apply this logic to gun control, BLOOMBERG ends up being a paranoid dictator.
Hey Bloomberg you stupid Little Gulp, how's that feel? Tingling all over!!!
all products containing sugar should have a surgeon generals health warning along with all of that lardass food shoveled at mcdonald's, arby's chick-fila, burger king, kfc, etc etc
the judge's ruling is a comical....if a state can force everyone to consume its health care products, it can certainly enforce abstention from sugar....
on the other hand, bloomberg is a nazi who can go fuck himself....
I'd piss myself if our surgeon general waddled up to a microphone telling us we have a problem with fat people.

Milton Tingling : YOU ROCK DUDE.
Fuck you Tingling
No its fuck you
Nice to see a fuggin' lib get slapped down for a change... here in AZ, we voted NO benefits of ANY kind to the damned illegals... but a judge, of course, felt that withholding welfare and food stamps, healthcare and free education from people in our country illegally was against the Constitution... Jefferson would have puked.
These so-called "leaders" would have been fine allowing British soldiers seeking shelter while they occupied the colonies pre-Revolutionary War...
Damn all these treasonous puppets.
Nuremberg for Holder.
can we ban the fed now from intervening in the market?
I'm tingling all over.
Can he have the Bernank arrested for treason and shot for being a waste of skin too??
Pretty please...
Uppity nigra judge kicks Bloomberg in the balls. Someone arrest that slave!
Corruption demands obediance.
the ayatollah of cokeacola will not be pleased
Now that is catchy!

I'm going to send "The Mayor" a giant Diet Mountain Dew in a 5 gallon styrofoam pail.
Didn't ZH just post an article on lobbying by the 'Health' lobby? Sounds like they offered more to the poor judge than Boomberg. ;-)
Any way of upping the calorie octane even more? A lot more? And see what happens?
MSM will spin this and label the judge a racist
Would be fun to see places in the city taking the same route as the arms makers. No donuts to government employees until regular citizens regain the right to their own sugary snacks. That would have the cops on strike within a day.
A righteous Judge.
I was so sure Justice Tingling was a member of the Cree Nations.
Now the good mayor can appeal......and who wins:the LAWYERS!
Hey Bloomberg....ya FUCK, the only thing you can pass is GAS! So Fuck off you 3 term loser....
kramer said the same thing to the NYU administrator when she denied the legitimacy of his intern Darren working for Kramerica industries
And with Darren's help, we'll get that chicken!
WILLIAM WALLACE
Bringing new hope to a nation staring into the abyss, with infectious courage, he defeated the English under John de Warenne, Earl of Surrey at Stirling Bridge. Warenne offered to negotiate, urging Wallace to accept the king's peace, this was proudly rebuffed 'Tell your people that we have not come here to gain peace, but are prepared for battle, to avenge and deliver our country."
And we successfully pushed back on soft drink size.
Grape Drank, or was it Oran Pop?
Comrades:
Today we celebrate the assertion of our unalienable right to consume vast quantities of sugar. We urge all Betas to pick up the consumption rate in order to support corporate profits hence enabling a tax cut for the Alpha class.
Further good news: we are proud to announce the availability of diabetes management classes for all. A small fee is all that is required for your citizens to attend the multi level marketing presentation for the distribution of new pharmaceuticals and sundry equipment to support present and future full blown type II diabetes. Most importantly...you need not cut back on sugar and other carbohydrate intake.
Long live our free Republic!

Bloomberg should just tax those sugary drinks like alcohol. I'll just keep doin like I'm doin and hardly ever drink soda and keep drinking likker
So, If you'ld have lowball bought all "soon to be worthless" 64 oz cups 3 mos ago, you could sell 'em now for a pretty fuckin' penny in NYC!
Meanwhile, the US deficit and debt just keeps growing without bound.
And all of these pin heads are debating the consumption of soft drinks
And Bill O'Reilly calls the US an "exceptional" country??!!
Any country that has leaders like O'Reilly and Bloomberg is in the sewer.
Is Bloomberg going to pay back all of the money merchants lost throwing away inventory?
"fraught with arbitrary and capricious consequences,"
Ha! Buy my tapes and improve your Word Powa!
If the law is illegal then place its author in prison
And if someone hits 300 pounds because he is stuffing himself with the wrong shit, then let him pay his own medical epenses.
Because calling Bloomberg a moronic, paternalistic, arrogant asshole would be too harsh?
He may even be wrong about the cause of obesity too but arrogant people do not consider that ever possible. After all if you are successful in one area of your life you must be a genius....right...?
The superorganism, all the tiny folk using their tiny brains, are always smarter than the brightest of men individually....eventually. This is why central planning ALWAYS fails. Once some 'genius' makes a policy it can never be undone. In most things people should be left on their own. At MOST it is OK to tell them what you believe. After that mankind will get it right....but the genius is worried he won't get the glory.
here come da judge!
he took 36 pages just to say, "Nein!"
Mayor Bloomberg do you mind if the black robed brother has some of your sugary drink to wash down your tasty burger?

Milton pissed all over that blooming berg
Note how the judicial system stands behind our God given right to pour sugary death down our throats. Now if only they'd stand behind the 2nd amendment. What a bunch of morons.
Fully agree with you, but the masses demand that their daily allotment of bread and circuses also inludes a bath tub full of sugary piss.
If the ordinance was found to be arbitrary and capricious .... the petitioners should be allowed to recover attorney's fees and expenses ! Sock it to them .... or they will continue to generate expenses for the petitioners .... Nigger Judge didn't have the balls to go all the way .... government hole licker !
Fake drinks, fake food, fake money, fake breasts..........no wonder the country can't recover.
Bloomerg's directive my have been capricious and arbitrary but if people were forced to walk around in their underwear, it would not be a pretty sight.
Next move by DOH .... scary warnings and pictures of cancerous guts on your Big Gulp .... yummmmy ! Maybe a picture of Gov. Christie eating a donut .... or Al Roker shitting his pants at the White House .... or Michael Moore jacking off .... or Rush Limbaugh swimming naked with dolphins ?
No DOH bureaucrats were killed in the over turning of this stupid ordinance .... more the pity !
