[United States District Judge William G.] Young, a 1985 Reagan appointee, said at the hearing that he has "never seen government racial discrimination like this" in his 40-year career, calling the funding cuts "arbitrary and capricious, and unlawful" in his ruling. "Have we no shame?" he said at the end of Monday's hearing.
After the judge deemed the NIH grant terminations illegal, he noted that the government's practices were discriminatory: "This represents racial discrimination, and discrimination against America's LGBTQ community. ... I would be blind not to call it out."
