A sharply divided Supreme Court on Wednesday rejected a Trump administration push to rebuke a federal judge who imposed a quick deadline to release billions of dollars in foreign aid.
The court’s action leaves in place Ali’s temporary restraining order that had paused the spending freeze, Ali is holding a hearing Thursday to consider a more lasting pause.
The majority noted that the administration had not challenged Ali’s initial order, only the deadline.

The Supremes aren’t siding with Judge they are sending her ruling back to the drawing board
“The majority noted that the administration had not challenged Ali’s initial order, only the deadline.”
OK in plain English what the hell does all that mean?
They have to re-file is that what it means? I don’t get it. I thought it was a done deal and a win for the lawfare judge. So where do Trump‘s lawyers go from here?
Back to law school.................
The RAT slush fund lives!!!
I hope Trump gets to replace the wide “Latinx.”
For now.
Deep State was never gonna be delenda est in a day.
There’s only one take away from this shit sandwich..LawFare has been emboldened and the Supreme Court is NOT our friend. We need to increase the house and the Senate numbers so that we can bypass the SC by passing laws and bills. That’s the only way. And excuse my ignorance for not knowing Supreme Court lingual!
My guess is that the president can now ignore this because the supposed emergency time frame is long past, thereby proving there was no emergency.
The basic issue is whether an inferior court judge can tell a president how to spend money. That is what needed to be heard. Apparently it wasn’t. It was about a timeline to release money.
I think congress is the only entity that can legislate away the inferior court seized power of imposing national injunction and presidential decrees. That needs to be halted.
To pass, it will have to be in the spending bill because the filibuster rules don’t apply to spending. Also add in the bill preventing boys in female sports.
Had the Republican lawyers asked SCOTUS to vacate the original order and not just the timeline, they might have had a differnt outcome.
As it is they simply got the final ruling delayed for a short while................
Oh I thought it was a final ruling. Me bad. Maybe that’s why it’s not trending anywhere else as big breaking news. Correct?
Most likely. This isn’t a major ruling, just playing legal
word games..............
Oh forgot to say… so you’re telling me Trump doesn’t have the smartest sharpest lawyers in his drawer? Oh boy! Seems they dropped the ball. Or they took it for granted the Supreme Court was going to rule on their behalf. The sooner those dumb lawyers wake up and smell the coffee the better Trump can fight and win these cases. The Supreme Court is not our friend …some SCJ’s on our side are afflicted with TDS. I don’t know what part of that sentence they do not understand.
The Supremes told Trump to pay for work already completed. Seems fair.
So long as the contractor can show the deliverables. Otherwise, fraud.
It means the SC is unwilling to reign in lower courts. The other two branches need to exert their power and dissolve a lower court to send a shot across the bow.
Lawyers don’t speak or think in plain English.
That would be fair if there was work that had actually been done...
At least he has to get out his pencil instead of broad brushing. I’ll bet neither Roberts nor Coney thought of that, must have been a nuance they picked up from the minority in oral argument. Meanwhile, Federalist Society and whoever else compiled the list of judicial appointments in Trump I need to call for her resignation immediately. The way the Republicans fought for her through the Senate confirmation, only to have her follow Sotomayor around like a poodle disgusts.
