Why not let the administrative department heads decide what is good and what is fraudulent. The lower judges put in place by Biden and Obama are muddying the waters as they were put in place to do. The plan to inhibit the trump administration and trump from moving forward with his agenda. Not happy with SCOTUS

Any judges appointed by Xiden and Obeyme need to be impeached pronto.

It appears everything funded by the government has an unassailable child on crutches cover story while behind the story is a monstrous use of taxpayer dollars for other nefarious purposes.

If you read the ruling, this money was to pay previously submitted bills.
Even the fed has to pay their bills.
Correct ruling.
However, every contract between a corporation (Fed) and a vendor should contain a right to audit clause.
Nobody wants to go through an audit.
With hold funds and issue notification to audit.
They will more than likely fold.

The temporary order ends today, so there’s no point in disbursing until.

I wonder why the SCOTUS is so worried that this slush fund remains loaded with big bucks.

Amy Conehead Barrett is a full on leftist now, she is pretty much just one of the sisterhood now...the four females and Roberts.

Everyone see that nasty look on her face at the State of the Union?
I knew she was trouble the day she got sworn in. Drove her family that included the mandatory Haitian adoptee to the swearing-in in her minivan. Her husband was a passenger.

That empty notepad doesn’t seem so cute now, does it?
She was a DEI pick, chosen for being a female and she had to be a female because that was Ginsberg’s seat.

And she’s 53, so we have about 40 more years of her leftist deep state advocacy.

Does a single district-court judge who likely lacks jurisdiction have the unchecked power to compel the Government of the United States to pay out (and probably lose forever) 2 billion taxpayer dollars?

This clown isn't even an American. He was born in Canada and still has Canadian citizenship. There is no such thing as a Canadian-American. It would appear to any normal person that he only has American citizenship for convenience. It allows him to get a job working for the U.S. Government. One of Bidenskyyyyy's butt boy moles given this anti-Trump judgeship only 17 days AFTER TRUMP WAS ELECTED. Another one of Joe Pedo's black-robed "pipe bombs" placed by the pedo to take out President Trump.

Thanks for posting this.

I see the ignorant posting to your thread is in full swing and usually by the same group. They simply can’t understand.

Re: 8 - thanks for adding some reasonable points. I doubt they will register with the usual posters.

This really pi$$es me off because several states have been waiting years to have AWB cases heard and they run this up the flagpole within weeks. WTF

I am a bit frustrated at the reactions of this decision. My reading of this is also payment for service rendered, which whether we like the service or not, have to be paid.

Now, there are many ways to define that a work is completed or not.

Get the authorization from Congress and force the Democrats to publicly support wasteful and outlandish spending.
