As the money flows, the Supreme Court’s failure to act enables unchecked judicial activism.
The Supreme Court’s recent refusal to vacate the lower court’s order in the USAID case has sharply divided legal observers—especially conservatives. Some initially dismissed it as a mere procedural hiccup, a fleeting technical matter that would quietly resolve itself.
They were wrong then. They are even more wrong now. Judge Amir Ali’s latest ruling makes that painfully clear.
As someone who has served as a judicial officer on appellate review, I know how these battles unfold behind closed doors. I’ve seen colleagues wobbly in their convictions. I’ve written blistering dissents. I’ve withheld dissents when persuading a majority to reconsider. That is precisely why Justice Alito’s fiery dissent—joined by Justices Thomas, Gorsuch, and Kavanaugh—must not be rationalized away.
Some legal analysts still insist this case is minor. Why did Alito and the conservative wing sound the alarm with such force if that were true?
They weren’t quibbling over technicalities. This wasn’t just a procedural disagreement.
It was a judicial broadside—a full-throated rebuke of Judge Ali’s overreach and the Supreme Court majority’s failure to stop it.
Yet the dissent's harshest terms weren’t aimed at Judge Ali. They were squarely directed at the Supreme Court majority—particularly Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Barrett—who had the power to stop this and failed.

then people speaking for Trump need to make the point it’s not Constitutional to pay all these things. Doesn’t matter it’s been happening, we are to follow the Constitution and that;’s what Trump got elected to do, small govt.
Public needs educating after the decades of brainwashing we got about science, food, personal responsibilities etc etc all turned over to govt instead of states or individuals doing the right things.
The “supreme” court is becoming undermined by its apparent weakness in understanding the Constitution that it is supposed to support. The sad thing is that some of the judges apparently have the skills of a small town traffic court judge...and were placed on the court in spite of that reality.
If he doesn’t make the payments, what will they do? Impeach him?
Not a chance.
Wait for it...breaking point coming.
Judicial blocks if one of the lefts biggest tools.
