The government’s application was obfuscatory. This opposition brief is clear and compelling.

USAID contractors have urged the Supreme Court to require Trump administration to pay $2 billion for services rendered, as ordered by a federal judge.

So why is SCOTUS waiting, seeing as how every hour matters to those starving & ill? https://youtu.be/odFG5YupiAE

So not good then.

Unfortunately it doesn't matter to this SCOTUS. They are making shit up as they go. Besides the actions of the criminal in chielf himself, they are in fact the reason why we are here.

Uh oh, he never pays contractors what they are owed.

How long until the Roberts SCOTUS makes Trump's coup official by freeing him from any obligation whatsoever to pay attention to the Constitution or any other inconvenient laws?

George how do you see the Supreme Court voting today? Foreign policy aside I think this is a critical pivot moment to

And what do we do when the SC says they can get away with it? When are we taking to the streets like they did in Greece yesterday?!!! When do we start to realize we have to TAKE it back?

Chief “Justice” Roberts must be so proud!

jessereed78.bsky.social•5 hours ago

yet in the end, will that matter, or will Roberts and Co. continue to shit on the Constitution?

That’s my prediction. Even though I will be surprised when they do it because I hold out some hope for rational thought. It’s just the wrong timeline for that.

hope is in short supply

Your profile name is a fitting one. I am concerned.

LOL are any of us surprised that Trump is not paying a bill.

knowvak.bsky.social•5 hours ago

Just another instance of Trump not paying for services provided.

Man who complains about malfunctioning plumbing, after not paying his plumbing contractors, is finally ordered to pay his contractors.

Trump doesn't pay bills for services rendered.

Clear and compelling will be dashed against the rocks of SCOTUS constitutional misinterpretation.

I don’t remember being a pessimist before 2019.

That was the Donald’s modus operandi in business, too. Refuse to pay the bill after the work has been performed. Same with politics; a lot of towns with unpaid bills from the t-Rump campaign.

samalamadingdong79.bsky.social•3 hours ago

Trump has never paid contractors and he probably won't start now.

Making any guesses as to how long it will take the court to announce its decision??

I hope people realize all the diseases that were being treated and prevented in countries that USAID managed will come to the US. Ebola, malaria and many other infectious diseases will end up here. We were not supporting these countries for nothing we were protecting US citizens with these programs.
