On Wednesday, a very divided Supreme Court ruled little that the Trump administration must comply with an order of the District Court and pay almost $ 2 billion in foreign assistance funds to non -profit groups for work already completed in the name of the Government.
The Court ruled 5-4 with the president of Justice John Roberts and Judge Amy Coney Barrett on the side of the liberal judges. The Court did not explain the decision, but said that the Judge of the District Court must “clarify what obligations the Government must comply with to guarantee compliance with the temporary restriction order, with due consideration for the viability of the compliance timelines.”

“A district court judge who probably lacks jurisdiction has power without control to force the United States government to pay (and probably losing forever) billion dollars of taxpayers? The answer to that question should be an” not “not” not “, but most of this court apparently thinks otherwise,” he wrote.
