Judge Blocks Trump's Spending Freeze.

[22lcidw]

The Appropriations Clause of the United States Constitution and the Impoundment Control Act of 1974 (ICA) are laws that mandate how money allocated by Congress must be used.

Appropriations Clause

• This clause is found in Article I, Section 9, Clause 7 of the Constitution.
  
  
• It requires that Congress specify how, when, and how much money will be spent.
  
  
• It also requires that money be spent for the purposes it was allocated for.
  
  
• It prevents money from being drawn from the Treasury unless Congress has appropriated it.

Impoundment Control Act

• This act limits the executive branch's ability to refuse to spend money that Congress has appropriated.
  
  
• It established procedures for how the president must implement appropriated funds.
  
  
• It also created the Congressional Budget Office and the House and Senate Budget Committees.

The Constitution's separation of powers is based on the Appropriations Clause, which is a check on the executive branch's power.

Separation of powers is supposed to include the courts. Progs turned judges into progressive communist we will send you into the gulag demonic monsters.

Judge has no say in budget process

Incorrect. Payment distributions are guided by a whole plethora of federal laws, some put in place after the Nixon adminstration for just this reason.

There is no "Law and Order Party" . when they elect a convicted felon.

keep watching, those 34 bullshit/Lawfare felonies will be overturned shortly.

This has nothing to do with the "budget process".

This is Trump trying to sow chaos by trying to impound money already committed.

It didn't work when Nixon tried it.

Reducing fraud is in Trump's purview. I just heard that illegals can get welfare. That needs to stop. I wondered why Welfare cost is thru the roof and the economy is humming along. DOGE needs to cut $2T.

What does that have to do with the Meals on Wheels, Medicaid, and Cancer research?

Who holds the purse strings?

Congress.

Arbitrarily cutting all grant spending is not "reducing fraud".

It's attacking everyone (regardless) with a shotgun full of salt pellets. Indiscriminate, arbitary, completely unfocused.

No attempt to plan or manage.

No sign of any sort of plan to emerge from the chaos.

An epic demonstration of Trump's incompetence and mismanagement.

Those are unaffected according to Karoline. Trump wants to reduce fraud, especially to illegals.

1. He is not cutting all grant spending, he paused it pending verification
2. DOGE is focused
3. Wasting $Trillions like democrats do is mismanagement, you don't understand what focused management looks like.

 

[Crepitus]

Congress.

Thank you.

He's attempting to destroy the USA.

1. You have no idea what "verification" even is. What mechanism did Trump set up to do this imaginary "verification".

That isn't a serious question, since all you'll do is try a deflection or just make something up.

@. DOGE is a gimmick. It keeps Musk on stage. That's all. There is no Presidential commission called DOGE. No department.

Just Musk.

3. Typical right wing pablum. Especially ridiculous since Trump intends to borrow and spend like you've never seen. Trump is the last person on earth who cares about US government debt.

1. Trump can have the US databases scanned to identify fraud, such as a $million going to one address, or checks going overseas, or multiple people using the same SS #.

2. DOGE is very similar to the Grace Commission of 1984, whose money saving recommendations were ignored. Lets hope that the DOGE recommendations are implemented. Saving $1T or $2T is required.

3. If DOGE can in-fact save $1T or $2T from the Budget that is a game-changer. To fail means more borrowing and US debt explodes and interest on that debt explodes, and the US Dollar collapses. A disaster by any metric. DOGE cannot fail, one "proof" of excessive spending is looking at past Budgets, knowing that the Freedom Caucus will not support over-spending even if Trump presses them. Here are the past Budgets, Biden has $7T budgets and Trump had $4T budgets until Covid hit.

Biden’s 2025 Budget is $7.30T with a $1.8T deficit______TOTAL BIDEN $8.3T add to Debt
Biden’s 2024 Budget was $7.30T with a $2.0T deficit
Biden's 2023 Budget was $6.13T with a $1.7T deficit
Biden's 2022 Budget was $6.27T with a $1.4T deficit
Trump's 2021 Budget was $6.82T with a $2.8T deficit___ TOTAL TRUMP $7.6T add to debt
Trump's 2020 Budget was $6.55T with a $3.1T deficit
Trump's 2019 Budget was $4.40T with a $0.9T deficit
Trump's 2018 Budget was $4.10T with a $0.8T deficit

Have no answer, that is why we need to consider slowing down
not get frantic,
& make sure each issue is going in the best direction.

Marred by Marbury

That's the inevitable result of the judicial review that SCROTUS declared for itself in 1803.

 

[SassyIrishLass]

I hope Trump ignores it like Biden ignored the courts on student loan forgiveness

Those Who Created This Mexican Standoff Should Have Their Restrictions Ignored


It is also illegal to educate their children and to give them any kind of medical aid. If deprived of those rights the traitors gave to the invaders, most of them will self-deport.

 

[Cougarbear]

Are you stupid?

I asked a question: Who holds the purse strings?

Are you stupid? Who has the most billionaires?
