Judge Rules that Trump has Some Authority to Freeze Federal Funds

[TemplarKormac]

"In these circumstances, we assume we have jurisdiction, see Doe v. Town of
Lisbon, 78 F.4th 38, 44-45 (1st Cir. 2023), and deny the motion for an administrative stay without
prejudice. We are confident the District Court will act with dispatch to provide any clarification
needed with respect to, among other things, the defendants' contention that the February 10 Order
"bars both the President and much of the Federal Government from exercising their own lawful
authorities to withhold funding without the prior approval of the district court." We note in this
regard the plaintiffs' statement in their Opposition to Defendants' Motion for Administrative Stay
Pending Appeal that, consistent with the TRO, the February 10 Order "does not stop defendants
from limiting access to funds without any 'preclearance' from the district court 'on the basis of the
applicable authorizing statutes, regulations, and terms.'" The parties may file any further
memoranda in support of their positions on the motion for a stay pending appeal in this court by
5:00 PM on Thursday, February 13, 2025.

By the Court:
Anastasia Dubrovsky, Clerk"

Other formal sanctions by a court, though grounded in a deep history, also come with a host of potential problems when applied to the executive branch. Should a judge decide to pursue criminal contempt, for instance, it would need to be initiated by the Justice Department – meaning it’s highly unlikely given the president’s control over that department. The US Marshals Service, which enforces federal court orders, is also part of the Department of Justice.

Authorized. There is no authorization.

Looks like the liberal judge overstepped his bounds under Article II and is backtracking before he got his dick slapped.

I don't know why Fox would break it on their live broadcast at the 12:00 hour, then.

It wouldn’t be the first time.

Nobody talks X posts seriously.

Nobody outside the Trump fake news bubble take lying Fox Noise seriously either.

As long as they have authority in the law.

That’s right.

But the issue is that in much of this chaotic nonsense, they don’t.

And the armchair facists in the Trump cult are cheering for Trump, and hoping that the Supreme Court gives him his wish and makes him a dictator.
