Betrayal at SCOTUS

The Hill – Supreme Court denies Trump administration request to cancel $2 billion in foreign aid.

The Supreme Court in a 5-4 emergency ruling Wednesday refused to halt a judge’s decision ordering the Trump administration to immediately release nearly $2 billion in foreign aid payments owed under existing contracts. 

It hands a loss to the administration in the first time that Trump’s efforts to drastically reshape federal spending, agency by agency, have reached the high court. 

Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Amy Coney Barrett joined with the court’s three liberals to side against the administration.

  1. The Supreme Court’s emergency decision keeps in place a lower judge’s order enforcing his directive that the administration maintain foreign aid agreements that existed before Trump took office.

    And what about the contracts in place for the Keystone XL pipeline? Resident Biden cancelled them his first day in office. Not a peep from the SCOTUS.

    This makes me sick.

  2. This quote is SOOOO applicable so often, I just have to keep quoting it.
    Attributed to Pres Andrew Jackson, “John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it”.
    What’s the SCrOTUS going to do if PDJT47 DOES cut off foreign aid? Arrest him? Good luck with that.

  3. This is a declaration of war. It’s been coming for 222 years, since Marbury v Madison. Roberts is challenging Trump and the Executive Branch. This case is from Vivek Murthy’s group.The judiciary has no standing to make any judgment whatsoever. Roberts has thrown down the gauntlet. Now it’s time for Trump to respond. HE should stand his ground and protect the Executive Branch and ignore this unconstitutional order. Roberts has no other choice but to sit there and take it. However, if Trump backs down, 2 things will happen; he’ll lose my respect and support, and it will effectively be the end of his administration, because all the left need do then file endless lawsuits to paralyze the administration. This the hill to die on.
