the states and the judiciary can compel the Congress to appropriate funds.

Not that big a stretch. Federal courts here in Missouri “required” our legislature to appropriate funds for purposes of school integration. Federal judges often have the attitude that they can compel anyone to do anything, the will of the people be damned.

While a Federal Court is reaching when it compels a state to expend funds for any any purpose, they are dreaming in another world when they think they can compel the US Congress to do anything.

Heretofore, any Judicial orders have been voluntarily complied with by both the Legislative and Executive branches.

I look forward to the day that stops, in a very public, high-profile way.
