BREAKING: The Supreme Court ruled the Trump administration must pay U.S. businesses and nonprofits the congressionally authorized $2B they’re owed for work already completed for USAID.

This ruling is a victory for the rule of law. President Trump has a constitutional duty to comply with this order.

Big deal, who’s going to enforce it when trump controls the “Just Us” Dept.

nyroze.bsky.social•23 hours ago

Now let’s see if they actually do it! I hope that someone is carefully tracking and reporting on what the admin. Is actually doing!

cypriantroyer.bsky.social•2 hours ago

But Felon45 won't comply. He'll throw up another bogus EO, create more chaos, more people will die, and the whole cycle of BS will continue. The courts won't save us. Not after the rule of law has ended.

lisamhearts.bsky.social•22 hours ago

How will this ruling be enforced? We know he doesn't care about the Constitution unless it helps him, so he won't comply. We need Congress to grow spines and ACT.

ryanburchett.bsky.social•1 day ago

Someone give the Judicial Conference a ring. It's time for impeachment of 4.

captainquality.bsky.social•1 day ago

Now comes the fun part: will they actually comply?

elusivejay.bsky.social•1 day ago

He still won't, and there will be no consequences.

The analysis in the dissent to this opinion is beyond disturbing. They rail against unchecked powers are you kidding me?

lonelycicada.bsky.social•1 day ago

Terrifying that 4 justices think the President can freeze aid already allotted. Alito's dissent that somehow we have been taken hostage by a district judge is BONKERS. That judge was just upholding the LAW. I fucking hate that guy and fuck the rest of the dissenters too.

If he doesn’t comply with a Supreme Court order would there be any penalty?

plutoniary.bsky.social•1 day ago

Too bad he doesn’t know what the constitution is beyond something in the way of his agenda/P2025.

He laughs at Constitutional Duty.

Trump and his usual self - not paying for work done.

Too bad Trump uses the Constitution to wipe his ass.

rarebitfiends.bsky.social•1 day ago

“Does a single district-court judge who likely lacks jurisdiction have the unchecked power to compel the government of the United States to pay out (and probably lose forever) $2 billion taxpayer dollars?“
-written by Alito without irony.

time for the us marshals to take the pos potus into custody

gambit1.bsky.social•1 day ago

Considering this is Trump’s favored approach when working with subcontractors, he must be SHOCKED that SCOTUS won’t let him go around stiffing people on behalf of the US government.

briscocountyjr.bsky.social•1 day ago

And yet 4 of them voted against this. Voting to not pay people for work already completed is SO on point for Trump and his sycophants.

crashdive625.bsky.social•1 day ago

As if the Constitution means anything to him.

zetm.bsky.social•1 day ago

Great news now we are going to find out if the rubber meets the road. If they intend to still defy, who is going to stop them?
This is the constitutional crises everyone has been yapping about for 2 months.

crista717.bsky.social•19 hours ago

And who will make them comply?

sarahadventures.bsky.social•18 hours ago

The US marshals. After the court tells them a couple more times and then puts out a warrant. (I learned this recently, I’m not a lawyer)

augusttierney.bsky.social•1 day ago

5-4… with the dissenting judges proving they’ve only sparked notes the constitution.

Well, this shows that the courts are still in the people's favor (maybe). There will be a constitutional crisis and some people will be getting arrested if worst case scenario happens.

AFAIK there's a powerful institution of people who swore to defend the Constitution...

Let's see if he does as ordered or ignores this ruling, like he does many others.

jay10011z.bsky.social•1 day ago

Payment for work already completed…but nothing about cancelling work yet to be performed or providing aid where Congress has authorized funding.

mybits.bsky.social•1 day ago

I guess tRump things it's like his business and he can shaft the contractors!

dr0923.bsky.social•1 day ago

Who will enforce it?

thedefiantdem.bsky.social•1 day ago

Thank THOR!!!! Bout time the working class caught a break. Can’t believe it’s only been
6 weeks since Tiny took oath feels like 6 yrs. One things for sure this Dumbass has done more destruction in 6 weeks than any other Pres has in 4-8yrs. Yeah Tiny you win that one for sure! Idiot!!!

deathmetalvinyl.bsky.social•1 day ago

Trump will try to get out of paying just like he refused to pay contractors in his private life. He is an abhorrent and evil man.

But Gorsuch is all in for the new Dear Leader...I was really hoping for a 6-3.

surfsidedubber.bsky.social•21 hours ago

And, because of the SCOTUS ruling on "presidential immunity", just WHO enforces this ruling?

It's amazing how John Roberts figuratively gave his teeth to Trump, because Trump is about to bite Roberts in the ass with them.

doctt.bsky.social•23 hours ago

This is a litmus test.

olddoxielady.bsky.social•1 day ago

The sad part is that USAID money was already appropriated via congress so it never should have needed to be litigated in the first place.

anniebkay.bsky.social•1 day ago

Let’s take the win. It’s happening, regardless of the law…

jarredandrews.bsky.social•23 hours ago

They haven't complied yet...

anniebkay.bsky.social•22 hours ago

Right. I had a moment of exuberance.

jarredandrews.bsky.social•21 hours ago

I've been having moments of exuberance too. Here's to more! 🙂

Trump will pull an Andrew Jackson - well who is gonna enforce it. Worcester vs. Georgia.

jarredandrews.bsky.social•21 hours ago

Oooof

tjm777.bsky.social•1 day ago

Surprised the bootlickers voted this way but they need to look impartial. We all know better. It is a hollow victory.

foxmooncrystals.bsky.social•1 day ago

Fantastic news today.

pnwtrovert.bsky.social•22 hours ago

This is great, @aclu.org, but I think it’s also important to note that there were FOUR JUSTICES that ruled to allow Trump to bypass congress. This isn’t as much of a win as it appears on its face. It’s only a matter of time before the highest court in the land hands Fürher Trump unlimited power.

cat-the-labmouse.bsky.social•22 hours ago

Is the money still there or did it get reallocated into someone’s private bank account?

billwsmithjr.bsky.social•1 day ago

I will bet here and now that Trump refuses to obey the SCOTUS order.

A victory yes, but also paying what you're owed is now a controversial topic in USA, with a 5:4 split...

Obligated yes, will he do it? I will not hold my breath 😒

olddoxielady.bsky.social•1 day ago

He’s gonna go full Andrew Jackson on this. Worcester vs. Georgia.

Protect USAID!
Healthcare is a human right!
Flip the House Blue ASAP!

Two upcoming special elections in FL-1 & FL-6 on April 1 can create deadlock with 50-50 party split in House. Third special election in NY-21 can Flip the House Blue!
