“I Am Stunned” – SCOTUS Dissenters Rage As ‘Liberals’ Unfreeze $2BN USAID Foreign-Aid Payments
In a 5-4 vote, The US Supreme Court refused to bolster President Donald Trump’s foreign-aid freeze, reinstating a lower court order that requires the quick disbursement of as much as $2 billion owed to contractors for already completed work.
Does a single district-court judge who likely lacks jurisdiction have the unchecked power to compel the Government of the United States to pay out (and probably lose forever) 2 billion taxpayer dollars?
The answer to that question should be an emphatic “No,” but a majority of this Court apparently thinks otherwise.
I am stunned.

Stupid decision, yet not all that significant. It basically says, “Pay your bills.”
Agree. While you don’t like to see money wasted, it was done previously and a contract is a contract. Just cancel ALL contracts going forward and start fresh with new ones for only those things that are absolutely necessary and with tight controls on who is getting paid and for what.

Whats the Problem with The “Chief” though ?
