I think @legaleagle.bsky.social already covered this pretty well:

It is absolutely stunning to me to read the timeline of events and record of outright defiance of judicial orders in the brief. Seems clear the gov’s plan was to not comply all along and to delay in order to continue doing as much damage as they could to USAID.

Bunch of rat bastards. No honor.

In other words, the government is saying,”No.” I wonder how long SCOTUS will delay while the damage mounts?

I almost hope they do slash Social Sec so we get full on millions of Americans into the streets. Won’t be pretty if Hegseth calls out troops to resist an army of elderly Americans.

The repetition of "the government took no step..." is really fantastic writing. Chef's kiss.

They describe the harm Roberts did by staying the order.

It's not just Marco Rubio killing children; it is Roberts now too.

I think that once one realizes that these people are in it to have as much power and money as possible, attaining such power any way possible - the consequences of that 2 anyone caught in the crossfire doesn't even register to them. They literally don't care how many people suffer for that 2 happen

We all know that the majority SCOTUS judges have no qualms about killing people despite pretending they’re devout Christians.

shriketron.bsky.social•12 minutes ago

We know Christians historically (Crusades, Inquisitions, Salem, etc) have been very devout killers of people.

This is before getting into the Old Testament stories.

And he appears to be in no hurry for decision. Right wing SCOTUS works for the Federalist Society.

The problem is not just that we have the worst president in US history, but we also have the worst Supreme Court since Dred Scott and the worst Congress since Harry Truman.

John Roberts was part of the original plan.
Remember it was his court that allowed Citizens United.

SCOTUS made Trump a king to protect his crimes & their benefactor.

Welcome to reality of consequences for electing fascism by refusing to vote “in protest” of the email lady & the black lady.👏👍

The corrupt SCOTUS will not give up their cushy Trump jobs

If the story of the collapse of our country is written, John Roberts will be at the top of the list of people who caused it.

Yes

Citizens United was the canary in the mine

Maybe Lawrence O’Donnell will now acknowledge that Trump is defying court orders.

robotblue.bsky.social•3 hours ago

Fuck does that work? Can we all just stop paying our bills and taxes until SCOTUS tells each and every one of us that we need to keep paying?

I smell 330 Million lawsuits!
