Supreme Court Allows Trump Admin to Freeze Education Grants Over DEI Concerns
EPOCH Times ^ | 4/4/2025 | Sam Dorman

Posted on 04/04/2025 2:27:03 PM PDT by God luvs America

The admin filed a brief telling the justices that a federal judge in Massachusetts had exceeded his authority by interfering in “a contract dispute.”

The Supreme Court has granted President Donald Trump’s request to halt the reinstatement of millions of dollars in Department of Education grants that the government targeted over concerns about diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs.

Chief Justice John Roberts would have denied the administration’s request for relief, according to a court document. Justice Elena Kagan issued a dissent, as did Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, whose dissent was joined by Justice Sonia Sotomayor.

This is a breaking story and will be updated.

Maybe the Supreme Court is waking up to what is really going on.

This is a big story—the first time the Supremes have weighed in on the lower court judicial insanity.

Huge win.

Justice Roberta is a huge disappointment. (Yeah, I know it is Roberts.)

There needs to be some form of responsibility brought to bear on these over reaching judges. It used to be that a judge would fear being overturned on appeal but all the Obama-Biden appointees are so shamelessly partisan that they don’t care any longer.

“Chief Justice John Roberts would have denied the administration’s request for relief, according to a court document.”

And there are those who still believe the hack Judges will be shut down by the SC.

John Roberts went liberal on us? How often has he gone with the liberals?

I wish there was a scoreboard or tally for each justice, to see when they have gone liberal. I know Coney Barrett has been criticized a lot here recently, but in this case, she was with the conservative majority.

The Free Republic consensus seems to be, that only Thomas and Alito can he counted on for consistent conservative rulings.

It’s almost as if they were waiting for Justice Clarence Thomas to kick the bucket, then someone tapped Roberts on the shoulder and whispered, “Ummm. President Trump will be the guy replacing him and anyone else in the next few years, ya know...”

BTW Roberta is not a misogynist term. It is a reference to some Greek and Roman names. Most not good ones.

One hack judge was just shot down by the Supreme Court.

Today.

In terms of faithfulness to the Constitution and the rule of law, I would rank them 1. Thomas, 2. Alito, 3. Gorsuch, others not worth mentioning. To be qualified as a USSC justice, the *minimum* should be where Alito is holding. We’re not even close to that.

Roberts has stabbed us in the back a number of times on some very important cases not the least of which was when twisted into a pretzel to save Obongocare. The text of the article is puzzling. What does it mean “Roberts would have denied..”, was he not there?

Good about damn time something go right at the Supreme Court..I think ALL cases need to be brought in front of them, so that the commies have no say in anything

“allows”; all SCOTUS did was admit that POTUS was in charge of DoE. This is no big revelation to anyone with a modicum of intelligence.

The media (and don’t get me wrong, I appreciate EPOCH Times) plays into the left’s narrative when they act like the courts are in charge of everything. They’re not.
