“The judges’ stongly worded ruling stated that America’s Founding Fathers understood a concentration of power “threatens individual liberty” and established the separation of powers as “a bulwark against such tyranny.”
You must be joking.
So, not sending money to a state that is in rebellion against federal law is...tyranny?
When do they exonerate Jeff Davis?
Can’t this be appealed?
The basis for the ruling was that Congress appropriated the money without conditions, and Sessions tried to add conditions after the fact. This was held to be a violation of separation of powers. Nothing in the ruling prevents Congress from adding conditions to future appropriations.
Funny,they thought it was just peachy when Obola did it over not allowing transvestites in the little girls room.

President Obama’s Justice Department on Wednesday threatened to pull federal education dollars from North Carolina if the state does not repeal a law prohibiting people from using public restrooms of the opposite sex.
In a letter to Republican Gov. Pat McCrory, Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Vanita Gupta said the state’s HB2 law violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, which bars discrimination on the basis of sex in the workplace, and Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, which prohibit discrimination on the basis of sex in education.
“The Department of Justice has determined that, as a result of compliance with and implementation of NC House Bill2, both you and the state of NC are in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964,” Ms. Gupta said.
The agency said North Carolina officials have until Monday to address the issue, or the state risks losing millions of dollars in federal education funding.
So long as power is concentrated in the judiciary, they mouth piously about not concentrating it anywhere else?
