Just In: Bush Judge Orders Trump Administration to Unfreeze Federal Education Funding from Maine K-12 Schools After State Defies Order and Allows Biological Males in Girls’ Sports

[Macho MAGA Man]

U.S. District Judge John A. Woodcock, a Bush appointee, has sided with Maine’s far-left government, forcing the Trump administration’s Department of Agriculture to unfreeze federal funds despite the state’s open defiance of Title IX protections for women and girls.

The case stems from a fiery conflict between the Trump administration and Maine’s Democrat leadership after Governor Janet Mills refused to comply with Executive Order 14201, titled “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports,” issued by President Trump in February.

FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

Not only did President Thomas Jefferson, in a State of the Union address, also Justice Joseph Story, both indicate that the states would first need to appropriately amend the Constitution in order for Congress to have the power to dictate, regulate, tax and spend, and otherwise stick its big nose into INTRAstate schooling, something that the states have never done, but the only sex-related constitutional protection limits federal sex protections to voting rights issues evidenced by the 19th Amendment, not politically correct, elite desperate Democratic and RINO vote-winning transgender sports.

• "The great mass of the articles on which impost is paid is foreign luxuries, purchased by those only who are rich enough to afford themselves the use of them. Their patriotism would certainly prefer its continuance and application to the great purposes of the public education, roads, rivers, canals, and such other objects of public improvement as it may be thought proper to add to the constitutional enumeration of federal powers [emphasis added].” —Thomas Jefferson: 6th Annual Message, 1806." (Jefferson is indicating that Congress cannot tax and spend in the name of intrastate infrastructure imo.)

• "Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

• "The power to regulate manufactures is no more confided to congress, than the power to interfere with the systems of education [all emphases added], the poor laws, or the road laws of the states." —Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2, 1833.

• "19th Amendment: The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.
  
  Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation."

• "From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.

Feds routinely withheld funds over drinking age laws and speed limits and driving ages

Not a peep from judges

Part of the issue though is the funded via NGO left challenges EVERYTHING

[Vaquero]

Woodcock. How appropriate

[Macho MAGA Man]

I hunt Woodcock every year. Good eating!

[lastchance]

As has been explained before if the funds were already allocated by congress then it is not the executive branch’s decision to withhold them. If the funds were via executive discretion then the funds withheld must be related to what they were allocated for. If the funds were for general education purposes those funds can’t be withheld because of Title IX violations. What can be withheld are funds allocated for Title IX purposes with certain caveats.

John A. Woodcock ? ..

[Vaquero]

Ah. Timberdoodles. Tough targets as they rocket away from you straight up. I’ve shot at them while rabbit hunting. Shot lots of rabbits but woodcock have eluded me

[Macho MAGA Man]

I use a Browning A-5 12 gauge Automatic improved cylinder to shoot them. It has a 26 inch barrel. Woodcock hunting is similar to quail hunting. You have to be quick and ready.

I am now looking more sympathetically at Lincoln writing out an arrest warrant for a Federal Judge.

Way past time Trump told these arrogant little tyrants to go f*** themselves!

[Organic Panic]

Yes. He actually has a strange ‘fan’ club related to a pedo named Lorne Armstrong of “To Catch a Predator” fame.

[linMcHlp]

bttt

[Theodore R.]

Is this a GWB judge of a GHWB judge?

Except the examples you mentioned were laws passed by Congress. I agree with Trumps actions under executive powers, but his path would be cleared with legislation.

[Zathras]

The Governor refuses to comply.
I guess Trump can refuse to comply.

[wardaddy]

That’s well and good

But Trump has been assaulted by the opposition both politically and institutionally like no president ever

I mean it’s an onslaught

It’s hard of hard to be NRO purist on this

[cuz1961]

I am now looking more sympathetically at Lincoln writing out an arrest warrant for a Federal Judge. \/ President John Adams also acted The Sedition Act of 1798, part of the Alien and Sedition Acts, was a law passed by the United States Congress that made it illegal to write, print, utter, or publish any false, scandalous, and malicious writing against the government of the United States. This law was passed during a period of heightened tension with France, and was intended to suppress criticism of the Federalist administration of President John Adams. then came the obamanation .

[Vaquero]

I believe at the time I used a Sears 200 pump action with a fixed modified choke. It’s actually a Winchester. For running rabbits or pheasant it worked well. I stopped hunting rabbits a couple of decades ago and deer, 4 years ago. Age. I hunted deer with a Marlin 336 lever gun in .35 Rem. I still make it to the range though.
