(The Center Square) – U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts late Wednesday paused a lower court’s ruling requiring the Trump administration to release $2 billion in foreign aid payments.
U.S. District Judge Amir Ali had ordered the Trump administration to pay out the money by midnight Thursday. Ali was appointed to the bench by former President Joe Biden.
In an emergency filing with the U.S. Supreme Court, the Trump administration argued it would take weeks to disburse the funds.
“The court’s 11:59 p.m. 30-some-hour deadline thus moved all the goalposts,” acting Solicitor General Sarah Harris wrote to the Supreme Court. “It is not tailored to any actual payment deadlines associated with respondents’ invoices or drawn-down requests, or anyone else’s. And it has thrown what should be an orderly review by the government into chaos.”
Roberts gave plaintiffs suing the Trump administration until noon Friday to respond to the pause.
Not much difference in “Allahu Akbar”(God is Most Great) and Judge Ali U Akbar (Corrupt Judge is most Great) when politically correct advanced an promoted Democrat nominated Judges get in the way of Making America Great Again, while making foreign terrorists, drug dealers strong again in acts that weaken America. Oh, how they DO love to play God. Thank God he like Merrick Garland never made it to the Supreme Court and now even our home grown Supremes are awakening to the problems of becoming Democrat Woke, and that elections that reflect the will of THE PEOPLE DO have consequences when Tax monies earned and paid that represent the American life force expended to honestly earn, it stays in America ALONE.
No foreign aid should be spent on countries that are unable, too corrupt, too refusing, or just plain too dishonest to embrace the concept of INDIVIUAL self-governing in success and sacrifice, that ALONE leads to COLLECTIVE government ability as a nation to be able to self-govern and sustain and support itself. Supporting social government dependency just creates more welfare states, just like it created the need for more welfare at home in the USA for the past 6 decades of the promised LBJ Great society that did the opposite of making America Great.
Finally a little sanity from roberts..
