Sounds great.
I’d like to see Trump’s attorneys win a case for a change. “The courts are unfair!” is a p!ss-poor excuse.
Trump has had 4 years to plan for this.
So sit back and enjoy the show.
It’s going to be glorious.

Good perspective. Thx for posting!
Kurt has no idea what SCOTUS will do, nor does it matter.
As long as Republicans remain a united front, Trump has pardon power. Ignore the rulings. Keep going. July 4, 2026, DOGE ends.
The judicial order to put up a web page is the one that will be remembered.
It is off the wall insane—and best of all young people are going to be howling in laughter at the judicial Master Bate ing....
I believe they are setting up the USSC to end national injunctions, which will end venue shopping by the left.
They want a national injunction they wi need every district to separately issue one, or get the USSC to issue it.
Indeed they are.
We did win one already—but obviously it did not get a lot of coverage.
The judge rejected attempts to keep DOGE out of the Department of Labor—ruled the AFL-CIO had failed to prove harm and therefore had no standing.
Sorry Kurt, CJ Roberts won’t do spit.
The new Trump-led DOJ and the White House legal team have been mute so far.
Sure hope they know what they’re doing.
Reminds me of the old hippie poster: “What if they threw a war and nobody came?”
What if a web page is restored, but doesn’t work. It’s very very hard to get a government website working, ha ha.
Remember the launch of Obamacare?
To be fair, republicans are known for doing just that.
BTTT
Among the priorities in Congress must be a law providing that jurisdiction for lawsuits seeking a halt or change to an action taken by the President must be sent outside of DC. No place has worse federal judges than DC, not even NY (2d circuit) or California (9th Circuit). The law can say that jurisdiction for such cases shall be sent, at the discretion of the President, to any jurisdiction impacted by the president’s action. Also, that injunctions against a President’s action may be immediately appealed directly to the Supreme Court.
Also that any judge whose decisions finding against the President are overturned by a higher court is henceforth disqualified from hearing any suits against the executive branch. Those simple changes will go a long way to ending lawfare and delays against what the people voted for.
The Obamacare launch was hilarious.
The current administration could always claim the website was hacked by the Chinese and that is why it currently has all Chinese characters.
When translated they read:
FAFO—Stop Master Bate...ing.
Lol.
Great article and great analogy.
There are four Constitutional powers at play here.
Article I Section 7 Clause 1
All bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with Amendments as on other Bills.
This is the power to authorize spending. Congress must pass legislation to authorize the raising of revenue to be spent on something.
Article I Section 9 Clause 7
No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law;
This is the power to appropriate the money from the Treasury. Congress makes the funds available to be spent.
Article II Section 3
he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed
This is the power to spend. The President has the power to execute the laws that appropriated the money from Congress to enable the laws passed by Congress.
Article I Section 9 Clause 7
and a regular Statement and Account of the Receipts and Expenditures of all public Money shall be published from time to time.
This is the power to audit and reconcile that the money spent was used for the purposes that they were authorized and appropriated.
This is what President Trump is trying to do, and this is what Democrats in Congress are trying to get the Courts to block.
President Trump must cite Article I Section 9 and tell the courts that he is taking care that the laws are being faithfully executed, and doesn't recognize their power to interfere with his Executive authority to do so.
H/T - PJ (Political Junkie Too)
Yes, Justice Thomas has been very vocal about this.
Congress has the power to strip jurisdiction for any and all matters concerning the executive branch so that only the Supreme Court would have jurisdiction to issue any injunction against any office or member of the executive.
The SCOTUS would then automatically deny every case. They don’t have time to deal with this nonsense.
We have the votes to do it.
