BREAKING: US judge blocks Trump order to cut off funding to cities that limit cooperation with immigration authorities.
Simple solution: fund them!—20.00 is enough
It doesn’t matter. They will tie it up in appeals for a real long time before the Supreme Court finally says “wtf is this ruling?” Even though there’s a good chance they’ll eventually lose, the point is the stall tactics.
Surprised it took this long. As long Trump allows it the Judiciary is going to used to stop the entire agenda. He’s going to have to go to war with these hacks.
How does this work exactly? Some circuit court judge can compel the federal government to pay money to certain jurisdictions, or what? Be held in contempt of a court order? Are they going to send a Baliff to collect personally?
The US gets Nuked and then a Judge blocks Trump fighting back . When did Judges become more powerful than a President ,never they just took the Power
That is kind of crazy. The judge cannot force the Federal Government to send money to anyone. If the President or Congress doesn’t sign the check, no money goes. Trump could shut the government down, let the judge try to enforce the law himself.

No ... you don’t say gee what a surprise - time to start ignoring courts actually way past time
Creative uses of tar, feathers, and power tools suddenly come to mind.
If he doesn't he may as well resign. The judges have basically ruled that he does not have the authority to do anything. We now live in a country that appears to be 100% under the rule of judges.
There it is....knew this was going to happen. Pfft!
This was to be expected. Has to get to Supreme Court now that gorsuch is there.
We got Gorsuch in.
SCOTUS needs to expedite reversals on a Rocket Docket.
Bring it, bitches.
If trump just goes along with this bullshit my heads gonna explode
And the Republicans allowed it.
Why does it seem that only leftist judge’s injunctions are sancrosanct? I don’t recall any centrist judge’s injunctions stopping Obama.
But it is OK to hold back federal funds from schools if they didn’t implement Michele Obama’s school lunch program or money from the states in the form of highway money if they didn’t adhere to federal speed limits.
benlurkin is right. First what does the law say?
If Trump is within the law, then Trump needs to appeal it all the way up to SCOTUS>
And then the judge needs to be impeached. That’s a congressional duty.
The judges would only further usurp power by decreeing just how much funding THEY deem reasonable.
This tyranny won’t stop WITHIN the system. Sad, but true.
