Loading ...Trump gets late night victory at Supreme Court — briefly pauses order for Trump admin to imminently release foreign aid
Chief Justice John Roberts temporarily delayed a midnight deadline for the Trump administration to unfreeze nearly $2 billion in foreign aid payments, imposed by a lower judge who found the administration had flouted his ruling.
The administration said it could not feasibly resume payments on the rapid timeline set by U.S. District Judge Amir Ali, who on Tuesday directed the State Department and U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) to resume funding for foreign aid contracts and grants by the end of Wednesday.
Roberts ordered the plaintiffs to respond in court filings by mid-day Friday.
The Supremes inevitably will rule that the President has absolute control of the Executive Branch. I wish they would get off their asses and do it.
