Supreme Court smacks Trump down on foreign aid.

[1srelluc]

I understand our laws and our government and how it works.

LOL....You sure can't tell that by your body of work here thus far. You seem pretty much clueless.

 

[citygator]

You cannot articulate why they ruled that way.

It is one thing to say that the Present dent cannot refuse to pay contractors for already completed services. That much I agree with, in fact.

It’s another thing to contend that the President has an obligation to further spend allocated funds for matters not yet performed.

Thankfully, the matter is still under litigation and the final result isn’t written in stone.

President executes. The Legislature budgets. Trump cannot do the spending himself. He has to execute the will of the legilsatrue. It’s basic American governing. Visit us here in the US and you’ll get the hang of it.

The SCOTUS decision is actually far more circumscribed than folks like our dim OP pretend.

The litigation will continue in that very case.

Realistically, all it says is that the President may not refuse to pay for completed services which had been contracted-for.

A lot of libtard huffing and puffing over something not particularly momentous.

 

[Donald H]

Trump needs to tell the Scotus to mind their own fkn business.

Now this thread can be closed. Right?

Fake news. But what do you expect out of you Democrats.

 

[Oddball]

Wrong.

What they said is the District judge has to be specific on what the admin needs to pay out on and give the admin time to do it.

TRO's only affect things that if not performed OR performed have an irreparable harm on the parties impacted.

So the people suing have to go to the judge now, say they are being harmed, the admin can counter, and the judge has to direct on specific instances now.

So get ready for "Biden judge orders admin to pay for Guatemalan transgender clinic funding."

If they couldn't misrepresent and lie, they'd have nothing to say.

Cant we just let the fraud roll on until we're all impoverished..... Opah got 250 million from the govt ...pray tell why

Look at the democrats high speed rail scam in California. Democrats spend over 100 billion and no train.

Democrats aren't even mad their train wasn't built because they are traitors and they support the intentional collapse of America.

Wrong again, croc.

The legislature can and does authorize spending. The President may then write the checks. But one of the numerous points you libturds always choose to ignore is that legislative authority to spend is NOT always a command to spend.

SCOTUS by a 5-4 count has ordered USAID funds be dispersed until the settlement of all suits.
I’m happy to see that two of the conservative side agree with following the rule of law.

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.

the president can’t stop sending out social security checks dummy.

the president can’t stop sending out social security checks dummy.

None of the things being reviewed and held up are entitlement spending sent directly to US citizens or green card holders.

 

[pknopp]

In his State of the Union address on Tuesday evening, Trump boasted that he had imposed a “freeze on all foreign aid”, reeling off a list of what he considered to be egregious spending by the US government in countries including Mozambique, Mali and Uganda.

That must have been uncomfortable sitting there knowing they were about to rule against Trump on this.

You’re too stupid to breathe.

Hey, retard. Nobody said he could. In fact, your comment isn’t even responsive to anything I have ever said.

Keep swinging, croc. Keep missing.

There is no difference. A budget is passed as law, its called an appropriations bill. The Constitution then delegates to the president the task of spending approved funds in the Take Care Clause, which requires the chief executive “shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed.”

There is a huge difference.

Lots of those laws that cover what Trump is fighting say "spend X on Y" but don't give details on paying A,B,C to achieve Y.

No one disputes the SS laws say make payments to people ENTITLED to them as qualifying for retirement benefits.

Didn’t come up. Why is that? Is there an ambush cabal?
