NPR sues Trump over executive order cutting federal funding

[Zincwarrior]

As of right now though, are they entitled to it?

Yes because COngress appropriated those funds. Congress has the power of the purse not the Executive. They can pass a budget going forward that provides no funding.

Does the original poster ever respond to replies or is he still hit and run Clayton?

 

[jknowgood]

He will lose this one but going forward he can try and keep the funding out of future bills.

So you good with federal funds going to conservative radio?

Congress has the obligation to stop these ruaway Marxist courts.//

Where are you Lil' DickyJohnson?

I like NPR but "Free Speech" shouldn't take the form of us taxpayers and future generation toting the cost of that speech. And that's regardless of whether we agree or disagree with what is being said.

They sued him for violating the First Amendment you said he will lose. I asked you how he's violating the First Amendment.

That was one aspect. He will lose because the money had already been passed. Hence my remark about the future.

I simply stated an opinion of what I believe will happen

Its not a marxist court to apply the law as written.

Since when do taxpayers have to pay for a ******* biased shithead radio station like NPR? **** 'em. How is this first amendment? Nobody is stopping them from spewing forth their liberal filth, they just won't do it on the taxpayer dime anymore.

 

[SassyIrishLass]

Clayton, Trump isn't shutting down NPR or any other radio stations. So that shoots your
First Amendment rights all to hell. They will still be able to broadcast, but without taxpayer funding.

Yes, it really is that simple.

Planned Parenthood, NPR, Harvard...etc

Poor loons

Since Congress allocated the money and the President signed it into law.

You should see if the BBB has funds allocated or not.

I used to watch PBS all the time and donate when they had fund raising programming, after which they had announcements of who all their corporate sponsors were.

And then I grew up and realized how they were insulting me.

They can succeed in the media market place without government funding. Or, we can go the other way and highly regulate Public Broadcasting Corporation for bias if they want funding that bad.

NPR has about 50,000 subscribers

They're small potatoes

Yes, there is no requirement for COngress to fund them in the future.

That president signed it into law, this one says **** 'em.

Cool, but he can't change the previous allocation without legal approval from Congress. Thats why he keeps losing these things.

The chief executive can do a hell of a lot, SCOTUS has already ruled that.
