Before I get to the point of this rant, let me comment on last night’s speech. It was incredible but I didn’t see the need to comment. You could see anything I could possibly say everywhere today. The Dems totally crashed. Maybe what I can add is that I think last night was the death knell of the Dem party. They have nothing and represent nothing that the vast majority of this country wants.
Now for all of you who think the Supremes decision today was a serious setback for Trump, it wasn’t. I’m not going to get into the weeds because it would be meaningless to most if not all of you. Suffice it to say that it was a procedural decision. It was not a decision on the merits of Trump’s shutting down USAID. All it did was send it back to the district court with very specific instructions that he would have to consider every proposed payment in light of who would actually be irreparably harmed by paying or not paying. And I’m not sure if you know, but the money at issue is for work that has allegedly already been performed.
And now DOJ can file for a writ of mandamus for the Supremes to take the case on the merits and put an end to the nonsense. Alito burned them in his dissent and I’m sure that either Roberts or Barret will come to their senses and stop the nonsense of one unelected judge taking over the Executive Branch.
And another thing I saw today was that another leftist judge ordered the reinstatement of probationary employees. As I said before, these are people who can be fired for any or no reason except for some prohibited reason like race and that was not at issue in the case. They just were cutting the size of the government period.
Congress needs to pass legislation that limits the jurisdiction of district court judges and if they don’t then the Supremes have to do it and Alito strongly indicated that he was on board.
