The federal judge in Rhode Island said the Trump administration had failed to comply with his order unfreezing billions of dollars in federal grants.
A federal judge said on Monday that the White House had defied his order to release billions of dollars in federal grants, marking the first time a judge has expressly declared that the Trump administration is disobeying a judicial mandate.
That order, he wrote, was “clear and unambiguous, and there are no impediments to the Defendants’ compliance.”
Good. Time for judicial restraints on political judges. One way to do that is to ignore rulings that are clearly beyond the scope of any particular judges bailiwick. I don’t think the constitution allows for judges to usurp the Presidents power and put a halt to any executive branch decision with which they disagree.
