How is there an option in MA when MA is the problem with the previous solution?
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Seems like a semantic difference to me - "campground" vs "sleepaway camp"

I wouldn't gamble and put my hopes on a sematic differentiation (especially in the current environment).

He tested positive on his precamp test? Why was he allowed in before the results came back?

Negative pre-camp
Positive on arrival

One daughter left to camp today B.H. (((SIGH))). This camp definitely had the upper hand on us. No bargaining on price or anything. I hope it works out well.

Any updates on the judge ruling on the TRO? Everyone assumed it would come out late Thursday. Now the judge had a long weekend for a time-sensitive issue, and still no ruling either way? I really feel for the camps to be kept in limbo for so long.

As in their camp in the Catskills?

+1, feel the same. Would be nice if a ruling would be issued once and for all.

Nothing new filed on the docket since Friday.

Keep in mind the old joke - the only difference between Hashem and a Federal District Court Judge is that Hashem does not think that he is a Federal District Court Judge.

Honestly I also feel for the judge.

Seems he thinks the camps are right [as per his writings before the case], but knows that if he rules for them his career is over as the Dems rule NY one party.

Quite a pickle.

I'm not understanding why his career would be over based on that. He works for the Federal government and has a lifetime appointment.
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

Respectfully, you must have this Judge confused with someone else. Federal Judges are appointed for life so his career is not over, regardless of how he rules.

Also, Federal Judges are appointed by the President. If he ruled against Democrats and this ruling made any impact on the President, he would have Judge Suddaby on the short list for an Appeals bench position.

Or the Supreme Court declines to take the case.

As in back to NY where sleepaway camps are currently illegal, and specifically in Ulster County which has been particularly aggressive in trying to prevent them from open. I feel terrible about what happened to them in MA, but not sure this was the best way to respond...
