Supreme Court Allows Cuts in NIH Diversity Research Grants

Newsmax-

A divided U.S. Supreme Court gave the Trump administration the green light on Thursday to cut hundreds of millions of dollars in research grants linked to diversity initiatives.

A federal judge in Massachusetts had blocked the planned cuts to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) grants in June, saying they amounted to racial discrimination and LGBTQ prejudice.

The Trump administration has targeted nearly $800 million in NIH research funding for elimination as part of its campaign against diversity, equity and inclusion policies.

In a 5-4 vote, the conservative-majority Supreme Court allowed the cuts to go ahead while legal challenges continue in lower courts.

Chief Justice John Roberts, a conservative, sided with the three liberal justices on the top court in the minority. more here

    The braindead judge has it EXACTLY backwards. It’s the funding of DEI grants that’s prejudicial and discriminatory.

    You know those tree shakers for nut and fruit harvesting? He should have his head clamped into one of those for a little while.

  2. “… Supreme Court allowed the cuts to go ahead …”

    That’s neither the purpose nor the authority of the Court – ANY Court.

    Courts have NO jurisdiction over the appropriation, misappropriation, or disappropriation of public funds.

    The tyranny of the Judiciary MUST be terminated.
