SCOTUS denies Trump request to cancel $2 billion in foreign aid

Sounds like a contractual obligation.

Thats fine.

No more contracts then.

Isn’t this for “work already completed?”
If so I understand that.

Executive branch needs to enforce the laws. If they won't do it, remove them from office and put someone in who will. Simple enough. No one is above the law.

I wonder what exactly we’re getting in return by being bound by a contract in giving away our own money?

Sure but you don’t know what clauses are in the contract unless you read them.

These headlines are so misleading. The Court did not rule on the merits of the case, they ruled on the merits of the temporary restraining order and granted that the judge has some limited authority but since his deadline had passed requiring payments in compliance with that order the stay was cancelled. However They did not order the government to start payments back up yet and instead sent it back to the trial court for further clarification and proceedings because of the vagueness of his order.

Alito wrote a scathing dissent really calling out the trial judge along with other members of the Court.

The President controls Treasury, not the Court. I don't know what contract this is, but I'm sure something with national security can be attached to it. Just utter those two words and be done with it.

A contract is a contract. Just don't make any more.
