U.S. District Court Judge John McConnell in Rhode Island granted the preliminary injunction in the lawsuit filed by nearly two dozen Democratic states after a Trump administration plan for a sweeping pause on federal spending stirred up a wave of confusion and anxiety across the United States.

In his ruling, McConnell said the executive branch was trying to put itself above Congress and by doing so “undermines the distinct constitutional roles of each branch of our government.”

Congress NOT the White House controls the spending of federal dollars.

Tag team lib democrat judges

But the dems will get pinned eventually

So, he will also have to prove how denying the funds would be harmful.

I don't think DNC coffers count.

Trump should have a long look at the methods Nazi Germany used to stop uncooperative judges!

The lib judges are cooperating - with the democrats

Yes! Let’s shoot for a one hundred million dollar deficit.

And remember folks......IIRC.....

Someone wise at this forum once said......
"We are past the point of electing our way out of this mess. Now there is unfortunately only one way"

And further he she said that if the freedom loving populace does not have the guts or will, then all is truly lost.

So sad but so true

 

[BasicHumanUnit]

That would be phenomenal. Are you sure you meant "million"?

Butbutbutbut the Nazis!

It can't be worse than America's shoddy treatment of the working class.

And at least it will bring change. How else are the working class going to get out from under the very wealthy?

The remaining three Demofk judges need a education tune up! Ideally at 2 a.m.

 

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

Thanks. I meant trillion.

It's time for special solutions to the problems!

At least before turning back to the Dems again as Trump's schemes are failing.

Ya'all know that the Dems will screw the working class just as surely as always before.

You want him to further adopt Hitler's NAZI tactics to subdue the country to his goals, possibly mirroring a defeated NAZI dictatorship?

Correct.

Of course, Trump doesn't care about the Constitution.

And as usual the fascist right comes to Trump's defense.

 

[martybegan]

Congress NOT the White House controls the spending of federal dollars.

if and only if congress was explicit in how the money is to be spent.

They mostly just list a cause and say "spend it"

 

[j-mac]

Correct.

Of course, Trump doesn't care about the Constitution.

Do you believe that Judges are above the Executive Branch or equal to?

 

[Donald H]

And as usual the fascist right comes to Trump's defense.

Trump has already taken extra-judicial measures to silence uncooperative judges. There's no need to refer to the Nazi's history when it's happening daily in America.

Just don't be in a hurry to jump out of Trump's frying pan, back into the Dems' fire.

Socially responsible capitalism isn't America's style of capitalism!

Capitalism can work for all the people, if it's restrained by socialism!

Please describe this “Socially responsible capitalism” you speak of?
