I think we can accurately say much of the trump agenda is on pause. This is worse.

Judge Rules the White House Failed to Comply With Court Order


A federal judge on Monday said the White House has defied his order to release billions of dollars in federal grants, marking the first time a judge has expressly declared that the Trump White House was disobeying a judicial mandate.

The ruling by Judge John J. McConnell Jr. in Rhode Island federal court ordered Trump administration officials to comply with what he called “the plain text” of an edict he issued last month.

Judge McConnell’s ruling marked a step toward what could quickly evolve into a high-stakes showdown between the executive and judicial branches, a day after a social media post by Vice President JD Vance claimed that “judges aren’t allowed to control the executive’s legitimate power,” elevating the chance that the White House could provoke a constitutional crisis.

Already, more than 40 lawsuits have been filed against the Trump administration, challenging Mr. Trump’s brazen moves that have included revoking birthright citizenship and giving Elon Musk’s teams access to sensitive Treasury Department payment systems. Judges have already ruled that many of these executive actions may violate existing statutes.


Violating existing statutes in pursuit of enacting various EO's is one thing. Violating a recently issued court order is another kind of animal.

The most litigious prez ever to occupy the WH, resulting from the personal commission of crimes, is on course to have his admin spend much of its time defending its actions against lawsuits and judicial orders. Which, frankly, is going just as some of us expected.

Name the statutes that Trump violated by enacting EO's.

I'm very glad that Trump is defying a judge's order to unfreeze federal grants. The judge has no authority to issue such an order to the executive. His order is sure to be overturned, and irreperable harm would be caused by releasing that money. Billions of dollars worth of harm.

Your legal opinion has been given all the consideration it deserves. 0.

Both Judge McConnell and a federal judge in Washington, D.C., had previously ordered the White House to unfreeze federal funds locked up by a memo from the White House Office of Management and Budget which demanded that billions of dollars in federal grants be held back until they were determined to comply with President Trump’s priorities, including with ideological litmus tests.

On Friday, 22 Democratic attorneys general went to Judge McConnell to accuse the White House of failing to comply with his earlier order. The Justice Department responded in a filing on Sunday that money for clean energy projects as well as transportation infrastructure allocated to states by the Inflation Reduction Act and the bipartisan infrastructure bill was exempt from the initial order, because it had been paused under a different memo than the one that prompted the lawsuit.

Judge McConnell’s ruling on Monday explicitly rejected that argument.

His initial order, he wrote, was “clear and unambiguous, and there are no impediments to the Defendants’ compliance with” it.

I can't wait to see how the judge enforces this order.

I’m sure you’re similarly outraged, outraged I tell ya’ at Biden defying multiple USSC edicts to cease and desist with his student debt transfers.
 
Here's the judge's ruling.

Any trumple who wants to point out the legal errors the judge made are free to do so.
"I don't care if the American people elected you to stop exactly this kind of waste and I don't care if the case has not been decided yet. I ORDER you to spend BILLIONS of DOLLARS! Right NOW!"

LoL!

The executive is not subordinate to the judiciary. What makes you think that it is?
 
lol....how many threads about trump have you done since the election?...
How many threads have you been able to factually refute since I began posting here? If you don't like what I'm writing put me on ignore. Or take a shot at proving something wrong. I don't care either way.

Part of the mission of trump 2.0 is the hopeful expansion of executive power by means of forcing cases in front of friendly courts. So far the courts haven't been cooperating. Rather, they've been following the law. Something trump hates passionately.

LOL. You never actually read what you cut and pasted, right?

From the judges edict. "The broad categorical and sweeping freeze of federal funds is, as the Court found,likely unconstitutional
and has caused and continues to cause irreparable harm to a vast portion of this country"

"likely unconstitutional"? So... likely not.

What "irreparable harm to a vast portion of this country", has occurred?


Lordy, man. What a waste of cutting and pasting.

Trump has the federal marshals under his control so he can ignore this obscure judge's order.
 
This is just a ruling that Trump did not comply with the court order. The legal explanation for the court order would be in the court order, not this ruling.

How will the judge enforce this, you think?
The way lawful admins deal with courts orders they disagree with is to comply or seek a delay by way of an injunction blocking the order. Not defying it.

What law was followed when democrats stole USAID monies for distribution to leftist tabloids?

Let's see -- two per day for three weeks. Over forty!

Left cultists think quantity over quality is a bright shiny thing to achieve.
