The Trump administration has not fully complied with a court order pausing the freezing of foreign assistance grants and contracts, a federal judge ruled Thursday.
U.S. District Judge Amir Ali last week ordered the administration to allow the disbursement of U.S. foreign assistance after hearing claims from federal contractors challenging an executive order signed by President Donald Trump pausing nearly all foreign assistance.
Not about civility. Doomers are saying there isn’t anything the other equal branches of government can do, but there is. This is one of those things.
I don’t think you understand the meaning of the word “civil” in this context.
I do. This is not a civil matter. This is 1/3 of the government apparatus fucking with the other two, and the judicial has all the power in this country to compel every citizen to comply.
Is Chase holding Elon’s money? Guess what happens if they don’t comply with a federal court order.
What state does he hold property in?
Does he have stocks? Of course he does. All of these can be seized on paper alone without the Executive branch being involved at all.
On paper the judicial branch can uphold checks and balances … and should … but if no one executes it things are moot…
On paper Trump IS an insurrectionist and should never have been allowed to delay his criminal cases and should be locked up now for treason… but here we are, no one dared to properly stop him.
The courts can deny the legality of Trump’s orders all they want, if they don’t bring a force to reel him or others in things will proceed according to King Trump’s will… Besides, Trump decreed only he and and an AG can declare what is law now, so …yeah…
Look at one of the institutions (forgot which it was) that Musk planted himself in … a police/security force was keeping legally appointed people out of the building while said police should have forced Musk out for illegally interfering with government offices.
It will never matter if they eventually do arrest a “Peter from accounting” who gave Musk passwords to some computer somewhere but let Trump and Musk themselves do whatever they want.
On paper, by repeatedly trashing the constitution Trump should already have been stopped in 2025 alone, but everyone seems intent on just riding it out and is already afraid to personally get in Trump’s crosshairs.
On paper the military is bound by oath to protect the constitution, but Trump quickly replaces anyone there who as much as frowns at his executive orders…
I’m even more convinced than before you have not a fucking clue what the fuck you are talking about or what civil means in this context.
