Supreme Court smacks Trump down on foreign aid.

[Crepitus]

The court now has to tell them exactly what they have to pay out, and how long they have.

Now Trump's team can point to each one and say how much of a waste of money it is.

The payment is what was passed by congress and the time frame is now.

It won't make any difference anyway. tRump has no respect for the courts or the rule of law and they have already ruled him to be unassailable in most cases.

 

[pknopp]

You ignored the first part. I wasn't disputing the timeline part.

Again, read the opinion, dunderhead.

The first part is Congress passed it, the president signed it and there is nothing Trump can do to stop it now.

He will follow this ruling, lets see if the district court does.

Roberts is telling all the district judges, no more blanket TRO's, you have to describe what you want the admin to do in detail.

 

[Crepitus]

There is but it will get ugly. Trump will have to go on record saying "I will ignore the Supreme Court". So far he has been unwilling to go that far.

Not really IMHO. All he has to do is ignore it. No statements will be made.

The second time the court has refused to step in to help Trump.

Congress passed it, it was signed, Trump can't just pretend he can end it.

LOL, did you copy that from creepitus?

The TRO is about immediate harm to the parties not being paid. Robert said clearly the court has to tell the executive what to pay and how long they have, in a reasonable timeline.

From what I understand Trump expected to lose but it gave his team time to find out just how misused our money was and to let the American people in on it.

OK, say money has to be spent on trans clinics in India per court order.

I think most Americans will take a dim view of the expenditure and also of the dems who will defend it.

5-D chess....Trump wins again.

 

[1srelluc]

I'll bet it is. Congress isn't passing a record debt budget without a ton of this stuff in it and if Trump signs it there will be nothing he can do about it.

At least it will be "stuff" for Americans, not against us.

And now he is going to have a Biden appointed judge have to tell him to release the money.

Not going to happen. The money will be released. And I note this stating that I was against spending this money with debt.

 

[berg80]

Essentially, the SC ruled trump is not a king and must respect Congress's authority to appropriate funds.

Sammy is not pleased.

In a strongly worded dissent, Alito wrote that he was “stunned” by the court’s decision to permit the lower-court judge to order the administration to unfreeze the foreign aid at issue in the case.

Alito added: “A federal court has many tools to address a party’s supposed nonfeasance. Self-aggrandizement of its jurisdiction is not one of them.”

Note to Sam, go **** yourself.

It gets better and better for us, worse and worse for the dems.

That and the gears of the .gov turn slowly.

Actually they ruled the Judge has to tell Trump what funds to release and give him time to do it.

Bugger off. I was against spending the money but that is 100% irrelevant.

 

[Auld Phart]

Congress approved the funds. The President cannot trample over the Constitution on a whim.

No Trumpers, Trump is not a dictator.

'trumpers aren't calling him one. Dimocrats are,

In the same way Biden ignored the court when it came to student loans.

It will be the same old, same old.

That didn't happen.
