1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals just ruled against halting judge’s order requiring the Trump administration to unfreeze federal funding.
Now I can understand why Pedo Joe always blew off court decisions made by DNC Feral Stooges.
Well I mean the Supreme Court did rule last summer that a President can’t be prosecuted for anything related to his official duties, which this obviously is...so why not just ignore the Judge? Not like they can charge him with contempt or anything...
won’t happen in the courts the rats chose. They packed the courts with their people for a reason.
Does this mean POTUS Trump can issue an EO and deny Fed Judges access to the Fed Court?
Presidents can sequester spending
Time to build files on the judges for tax returns and income.
How many double negatives are possible in one headline.
Congress can craft a bill allowing the Pres. to freeze spending for review which could pass Constitutional mustard. Also the DOGE/audits can continue while spending is unfrozen, small setback is all and ruling expected. Just track the spending and warn Depts. that misuse will get prosecuted.
Once it is defeated we must impeach and remove the offending judges immediately.

Last night Musk and Trump said that it’s not even looking for bad stuff; they are desperately trying to find anything that’s NOT bad. In that context it absolutely makes sense to turn off the money and then manually let through the ones that are decent.
These judges would force us to pump sewer water and pretend to filter out whatever is bad.
Maybe Trump could order that the local septic system supply these judges’ homes with drinking water for a while. If he can force literal crap onto us without allowing us to stop the spigot until the system is fixed and safe, then he can swallow some of his own medicine. They ALL can.
The only way this becomes a real Constitutional Crisis is if the Supreme Court rules that the Chief Executive is not in charge of the Executive Branch. And that isn’t going to happen. And if it does — Trump will laugh and ask them how they plan to enforce the decision. Andrew Jackson did.
Congress appropriates money for the fiscal year.
It does not micro-manage the timing of those expenditures or in most cases much detail on them so it is easy to re-purpose appropriated funds.
That’s OK all these BS injunctions need to get fast tracked to SCOTUS.
I’m trying to figure out which Law Trump is breaking...
I also do not see how it is a violation of the Appropriations Clause if they withhold the funds due to staffing changes. The clause seems to deal with trying to spend money before it has been appropriated, no?
“Expected....”

Predictable. The court wants to keep the money stream flowing to all their liberal organizations and friends.
Total corruption and complete disregard for the Constitution. If this stands at the USSC we will have an executive branch in name only. It will have been neutered.
Did they rule on the merits or just say the TRO will stand until the full injunction hearing occurs Friday?
put “The” between halting and judge’s ,LOL
