Also: A ruling that Trump illegally fired Hampton Dellinger as head of the Office of Special Counsel. And: Three Friday rulings — on firings, trans rights, and refugees.
Is there ANY way to justify Roberts’ stay of Ali’s order, while people are in desperate need of supplies and food approved for them by Congress months ago? I understand he wants to study the issue, and let the whole court study it. But surely he can study while USAID continues its work? I’m not a lawyer…I am a mother and children going sick and hungry while supplies rot seems unconscionable. It’s hard not to see Roberts as trying to push USAID further underwater.
I can't help but feel that privately the Extremes are reeling at the havoc trump is wreaking. Do THEY want to be the ones condoning the deaths of millions of people, particularly children, based on the clear lies of Elon about how much money killing them is saving us?
Although I am no lawyer. I *feel* that the above is the correct assumption. And that Roberts has adopted for SCOTUS the same tactic of delay as Trump has for the last four-five years. And I’m guessing he has four votes - Alito, Thomas, Gorsuch, his own - and is looking for Barrett or Kavanaugh to support him. As noted, bodes ill.
Roberts thinks he’s being clever, keeping the deadline for compliance in limbo but it’s obvious that the funds continue to be frozen. And SKJ can take as long as they’d like on their dissents.
?: because the sup court ruled that their is immunity for presidential acts BUT without the caveat that the acts need to be abiding the rule of law, will it ever be possible to hold the guy for violating The Constitution which he promised to terminate parts if not all?

By the way, this is a month ago—https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/burmese-refugee-dies-after-discharge-shut-us-funded-clinic-says-family-2025-02-07/
They should pay/send the promised aid and investigate while they do. Children are going hungry and getting sick...they need those promised supplies.

Well feckless roberts certainly delayed the fictional immunity ruling nonsense. So , mm is precedent for this chicanery.

I think you are spot on.
