The Constitution prevails.

So now we wait and see if he’s going to listen.

n5iln.bsky.social•69 days ago

The question is, will he abide by the decision?

drewcampbell.bsky.social•69 days ago

Serious question. When Trump ignores this, and it isn't enforced because he controls those that do the enforcement, how is this a win? How is this anything but continued sound and fury? An unfollowed order means nothing.

Well thank God for the majority Supreme rule...I noticed there were a few against.... which is shocking.

geo63.bsky.social•69 days ago

The ruling, though critical and essential to the process, is not the win. The follow through and aid distribution is the win. The people actually getting the help they need is the win.

Awesome! Sad though that 4 spineless ass lickers voted against it

sunsout.bsky.social•69 days ago

It’s going back to the lower court, which is good, but we’re still a long ways away from aid money being distributed.

4 completely soulless, greedy, compassionless assholes on that court. 6 if you want to include the wishy washy frauds.

Will they listen

bird-fanatic.bsky.social•69 days ago

We shall see if he actually releases the funds.

backspring.bsky.social•69 days ago

No, this is only the first step - which sho5have been a no-brainer but was 5-4?!?. The Constitution only prevails if the Administration complies. We may have our real constitutional crisis sooner rather than later

bobonthecouch.bsky.social•68 days ago

Doesn't mean he's going to do it.

deadlinedemocracy.bsky.social•69 days ago

Maybe, just maybe Roberts and Barrett will save our democracy. What do you think?

kaystuff.bsky.social•69 days ago

But will he comply?

oldrocklady.bsky.social•69 days ago

This is money already spent and owed to contractors.

Huge sigh of relief

The hackers are the ones that are blocking the US funds, even though SOS directed some to be sent. All should have been left operating as are already authorized by Congress. Btw.

It's not a loss if they just choose to ignore the ruling. Who says that isn't possible or even likely?

fillthespace.bsky.social•69 days ago

I just don’t think he is going to comply. He’s looking to create a Constitutional Crisis and here is his opportunity.

shadows13mystical.bsky.social•69 days ago

Well, Look out he'll go after some thing else to pay for this. He seems to always steal from other ways to pay that way.

joaniebucci.bsky.social•69 days ago

Maybe the very public thank you to Chief Justice wasn’t a very smart tactic ?

titaniumartnerd.bsky.social•69 days ago

What is the mechanism for ensuring this is enforced?

velvetcacao.bsky.social•69 days ago

After seeing #Trump fawn over Chief Justice Roberts last night, he almost certainly won't comply.
