Judge today sternly blocks funding freeze, contradicts press secretary Leavitt

[Cellblock2429]

Changes nothing. SC issued a ruling that the Biden administration couldn’t proceed with a particular student loan forgiveness program based on a particular law.

So they came up with a different program based on a different law.

He didn’t ignore the SC.

I guess I’ll have to because you don’t know what you’re talking about.

No wonder we are a laughing stock with SassyIrishLass and Thunk writing their nonsense.

 

[Thunk]

That is not how democracy works, mein quisling.

That's not the shit you were spewing while biden kept paying off student loans against the supreme courts rulings.

He found different ways, and he did not disobey Scotus.

Same with Trump.

Trump still made the payments...they were just 1 cent instead of 10 billion dollars

Judge never said the AMOUNT couldn't be changed

No, Trump, they were not.

Slow horse got it wrong, the president does not administer the spending of money

Actually he does. Teddy Roosevelt proved that with the White Fleet. After the congress refused him funding for the around-the -world flag showing mission, Roosevelt diverted naval spending to send the fleet and when the money ran out, made a comment that if the congress wanted its navy back it would have to vote the funds. I'm sure there are hundreds of other examples, but that one comes immediately to mind.

The Constitution does not give a federal judge at the state level authority to stop the president of the United States of America.

"A federal judge at the state level?" That's a good one.

That has nothing to do with with the incorrect idea that the president administers the money.

For truth telling, while you drool in the corner.

Leavitt needs to take a Constitution course.

Placing the topic itself aside, because I don't really care about it enough to opine, I just clicked on it to see what ones was popping off about, I do think that around 95% of washington politicians need to educate themselves on the Constitution.

 

[Man With A Plan]

For truth telling, while you drool in the corner.

The truth? For you the "truth" seems to be that Joe Biden has the right to spend money that wasn't approved by Congress in a blatant attempt to buy votes but Donald Trump shouldn't have the right to NOT spend money that was approved by Congress in an attempt to fix the deficit!

 

[d0gbreath]

He ain't in Washington d.c., is he

All federal judges aren't in DC.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

The truth is that Congress controls the money, the President executes the spending of it as how it is directed, and SCOTUS makes sure neither exceeds their boundary.

‘A federal judge in Rhode Island has formally blocked the Trump administration's spending freeze, saying in an order this afternoon that the funding freeze is likely a violation of the Constitution.
[…]
"The Court finds that the record now before it substantiates the likelihood of a successful claim that the Executive's actions violate the Constitution and statutes of the United States," he added in the 13-page decision in the lawsuit filed by 22 state attorneys general.
[…]
Even after the OMB rescinded the memo on Wednesday, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt posted on X, claiming, "This is NOT a rescission of the federal funding freeze. It is simply a rescission of the OMB memo.
[…]
"Based on the Press Secretary’s unequivocal statement and the continued actions of Executive agencies, the Court finds that the policies in the OMB Directive that the States challenge here are still in full force and effect and thus the issues presented in the States’ TRO motion are not moot," he said.

The judge warned that there was "more than monetary harm" at stake with the case.

As Justice Anthony Kennedy reminds us, 'Liberty is always at stake when one or more of the branches seek to transgress the separation of powers,'" he wrote.’

Very good.

At least we have a semi-functional judiciary that will check Trump’s corruption and lawlessness.

Yeah the only thing is is that the president has not unfrozen the money yet and is probably not going to because he knows he doesn't have to listen to the judge. This will cause some major pearl clutching. The idiot judge noted yesterday that it seems as though the administration has not complied.....lol..... Does somebody want to tell him?

 

[justoffal]

I'm sure the administration expected it. Let it play out

Of course they expected it.... So far Trump has been following a game plan that was well mapped out, researched and consulted.
There isn't a single thing left has done yet That wasn't seen in advance and prepared for.

 

[justoffal]

I'm sure the administration expected it. Let it play out

Trump and his team absolutely knew that there would be legal challenges. If you notice everything has been carefully done to avoid crossing lines. The imaginary line the Democrats are screaming about has nothing to do with the legals It has to do with them being exposed.
I should say a good number of Republicans too.
