Wow. Sometimes one can still be pleasantly surprised, it turns out.

BREAKING: By a 5-4 vote, the Supreme Court LIFTS its hold on a lower court order compelling the Trump administration to resume nearly $2 billion in foreign aid funding. The funds MUST be disbursed. Roberts and Barrett join the liberals.

Obviously, this is huge. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

Good. But now, who will enforce it? 🤔

areaman65.bsky.social•4 days ago

Now let's see if they actually do it.

Hmm 🤔 is this the moment that we see @davidallengreen.bsky.social ‘s shift from constitutional drama to constitutional crisis?

davidallengreen.bsky.social•4 days ago

How? The supreme court has made the right decision.

And if Trump/Musk choose to ignore it? (Or is even Trump bound by SCOTUS)

I was just about to ask the same, as this chap has also warned (below)

Would be grateful for an expert view on whether it's as simple and bad as this

Afraid that all I have to offer is fearful ignorance 🫣

At some point, doesn't everything just break with the on-again, off-again starts and stops? It seems like the Project 2025 goons know they will ultimately achieve their goal of dismantling the Federal government, regardless of what the courts do.

Trump probably wants to take back his “thank you” to Robert’s from last night.

Can they enforce it though? Didn't Trump threaten the Supreme Court a few weeks ago not to stand in his way?

this is huge. I maintain the shuttering of USAID is the most far reaching egregious thing these assholes have done. . . . so far.

I think they will dig beyond the basement 😡

Sometimes judges, even right wing ones, are lawyers first and ideologues second. Perhaps rare these days, but we need to treasure these moments when they happen.

Dems need to take control of the White House, Senate and House ASAP. We need to pack the courts. Fight fire with fire. 5 to 4 is too close.
