Unlawful suspension of USAID funding probably violated Constitution, judge says

[westwall]

Why are liberal judges trying so hard to tank our country? The people see what these radical judges are doing.

Because that's their goal.

Clayton defending The MOST CORRUPT agency that DOGE has found to date.

DOGE has uncovered nothing. Only idiots believe that a bunch of twentysomething coders can audit an entire Federal agency in days, with no government or accounting experience.

But TRump nation is that stupid.

Billions in fraud isn't "nothing", twit.

 

[TimFitz]

At the time Constitution was written there was no USAID nor anything remotely like it to considered for the Consitution
More lib loon non thinking lying

Sorry, but the Constitution does say that the President cannot unilaterally abolish anything established by Congress.

 

[TimFitz]

If this judge is wrong, which is likely, how will this be made right for the taxpayers? This ruling should be ignored until this issue is properly addressed, to include the whole appeals system.

"which is likely"

Explain.

Denial of reality is a consistent trait amongst Trump Haters. Fitz is yet another example.

If in his opinion it is engaged in illegality then of course he can and Congress can override him. Judges are circumventing that and imposing themselves as a hindrance quick fix.

"Unlawful" is the opinion of a political hack moonbat activist "judge", and the deranged crackpot OP.

‘A U.S. district judge ruled Monday that the Trump administration must pay nearly $2 billion in foreign assistance owed to its humanitarian partners around the world, saying the administration probably violated separation of powers by “unlawfully impounding” the congressionally appropriated money.

U.S. District Judge Amir H. Ali in a ruling blocked the administration from withholding payment of foreign aid funds authorized by Congress, which has caused delays in lifesaving food and medicine in impoverished areas around the world. But he found that the administration could move forward with an effort to cancel future aid contracts.

More broadly, Ali’s ruling was also a forceful rebuke of President Donald Trump’s sweeping and controversial assertion that he has the power to determine how funds allocated by Congress are spent in one of its first court tests.

“The Executive not only claims his constitutional authority to determine how to spend appropriated funds, but usurps Congress’s exclusive authority to dictate whether the funds should be spent in the first place,” Ali wrote. “In advancing this position, Defendants offer an unbridled view of Executive power that the Supreme Court has consistently rejected — a view that flouts multiple statutes whose constitutionality is not in question.”’

The executive has contempt for the rule of law and Constitution and is unfit to be president.

The judge will largely get overruled.

This stuff (for the most part) isn’t actually in the realm of the judicial branch.

Libtard judges cannot overrule what actions the president lawfully executes facediaper. Already discussed and proven, give your Reichbabble a rest.

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

The issue at hand is whether or not it is Constitutional for money already appropriated by Congress can be cancelled by the Executive. Likely, SCOTUS will have to decide this.

It would seem as a co equal if Trump determines illegality or even impropriety then he is duty bound

Unlawful suspension of USAID funding probably violated Constitution, judge says​

Fuck the judge.

Tell him to STFU and worry about his district.

If he were a constitutional scholar, he would be in the Supreme Court.

BTW--- where was he on constitutional violations when the government held 1600 innocent people in prison for four years under Biden without charges, hearings, bail, due process, visitations, food, nor healthcare?

Wait
What
On my broadcast I said sunny and high of 72.!!

The issue only boils down to that question under certain circumstances. But, it is often the case, instead, that the spending authorizations are not spending commands. Furthermore, even when they are designed to be obligatory, there are OTHER reasons why it may not be legal, anyway.

 

[toobfreak]

Because that's their goal.

These judges are all part of the vast, unaccountable, unelected administrative bureaucracy that Trump is out to destroy.

It is sheer irony that they act outside the Constitution while /citing/ the constitution as the basis for their actions.

 

[Rogue AI]

"which is likely"

Explain.

Look into Biden and the border wall. If that was fine, so is this. This judicial activism needs to end.

 

[toobfreak]

The issue at hand is whether or not it is Constitutional for money already appropriated by Congress can be cancelled by the Executive.

The issue here is whether the money appropriated for something is actually being /spent/ where it was meant for and /how/ it was meant to be spent.

If not, the president has the right to suspend the money and audit it use to assure it is being used where and how intended, whether it is wasteful, and whether it is harmful to or in conflict with the USA.

Only a nation which deserves to die keeps spending money on stuff harmful to itself it cannot afford to spend just because their congress passed a bill allocating it--- better to catch it late than never.

As an extreme example, just imagine if Trump found that democrats passed a bill allocating 5 billion to Taiwan for chip development and instead found it was actually going to North Korea to develop missiles.

The president ought to be able to stop that. I mean, no bill gets signed into law without a president to sign it, so, they ought to be able to un-sign it. And if it was initiated administratively by some federal agency and not through a congressional bill, then definitely, as the POTUS is the CEO of ALL federal agencies.

All federal agencies operate at the president's pleasure.

probably?

he doesn't know for sure?

He should probably ask a lawyer.
