We have entered an elevated era wherein unelected Federal District Courts have now assumed the unconstitutional domain of legislative and EXECUTIVE powers. It needs to drastically corrected thru Congress by either existing remedies or new ones.
Courts are a co-equal branch of government.
You and the other MAGAt’s are already justifying in your heads the constitutional crisis that will inevitably happen when the administration starts willfully ignoring legitimate court orders. Fifth graders know more about how the government works than your cult does. Your statement is so ignorant that it’s difficult to pick where to start.
Perhaps it’s with the reminder that its Congress who has the power of the purse, not the executive branch. Congress decides how much to spend and where, and the executive branch implements. Example 1 of the Trump admin clearly breaking the law.
The courts are a co-equal branch of government. Remember learning about checks and balances in like second grade? Articles 1 and 3 as well as Marbury vs Madison are just a few examples that clearly outline the court’s role as a check on the executive branch. Ignoring lawful court orders, whether you agree with them or not, is Example 2 of the Trump admin clearly breaking the law.
Finally, you should read about the Hatch Act, a federal law that prohibits federal employees from engaging in partisan activities. Firing career civil servants, who have other federal protections as well, for not passing the Trump Ideology Exam is Example 3 of the Trump admin clearly breaking the law.
I’m sure you didn’t read all of this and even if you did, you’d be thinking “I don’t care about any of this.” That says more about you and the rest of MAGAt’s than it says about the more than 2/3 of the country who did not vote for this. The so-called party of Law and Order has now convinced themselves that the only Law and Order they care about is what comes from the Orange King’s mouth. You’ve lost your way so completely that you’re completely divorced from reality and if you don’t keep convincing yourself to go along with all this, you’ll have to confront the truth that you’ve chosen the side of dictatorship and fascism.
The notion of a Federal Judge intervening in Executive Branch budget decisions seems questionable, particularly when every proposed reduction gets labeled as ‘catastrophic.’ It’s ironic that we’re so concerned about these cuts when our massive deficit spending is already imposing a tremendous burden on future generations. Isn’t the deficit spending ‘catastrophic’ as well? Is this what judicial overreach looks like? Seems like the court system is being weaponized to make sure President Trump doesn’t succeed at all costs.
What’s questionable is the Executive Branch and the unelected bully and his posse of 20 year olds making cuts to funding that was approved by Congress. Is there fluff, sure. Do these yahoos have any idea how to find it, cut it and leave critical things alone, doubt it.
I have seen the word “unelected” more in the last week than my entire life, so to all the people (Lefties) that have latched on to this word, let’s look at the fact that it is operations as usual.
The President is elected, they then select their Chief of Staff, arguably the second most powerful person in D.C., they are unelected. The President then selects their Cabinet, all unelected. The President can then also select a new FBI or CIA director, all unelected. The President selects/appoints department heads, they are not elected, how long has this been going on now?! DOGE is a department.
As for the 20 year olds, they are computer experts and can trace they funds through all the channels to find out where they went and who to. Do you think the agencies/Politian’s who are creating this massive waste/graft want to make it easy to find!?
You’d also hire auditors and accountants if you really wanted to find fraud.
A better question is, given that the reimbursement statue is set in law, is why doesn’t Trump just tell Congress to change it to 15%? What’s stopping doing it the right way since the Rule of Law matters so much?
A lot of people who really don’t understand the constitution.
