first, thanks for posting this, because when it came out in July I totally missed it.

Second, here’s a good summary:

https://www.jdsupra.com/legalnews/supreme-court-decides-agency-for-24835/

Third, you sadly do not understand it correctly.

The court ruled in 2013 that conditioning government aid on the receiving organization pledging to be against prostitution and human trafficking violates the organization’s free speech.

So naturally the government went back into the business of handing our our money to organizations that promote prostitution. Because why would the whores handing our money flinch at giving it to prostitution promoters. But I digress.

Trump correctly figured out that the court’s ruling applied only to U.S organizations, because foreigners do not have rights under the US Constitution. So they froze the aid to foreign prostitution promoters.

Of course two different courts disagreed but last month (which is not the definition of “just”) the Supreme Court found that the government CAN force foreign aid recipients to pledge to be against prostitution and trafficking, even if they’d love to support both of those things.
