Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

— Justice Alito's dissent
The answer is "FUCKING YES". The Court is a co-equal branch to the President and Congress. The Courts have just as much right indicating that the President must uphold contractual obligations as Congress has the power to pass a budget and the President to distribute that funding to the States.
Yes, yes, FUCKING YES, the Courts have this power. The "CHECK" if there is to be one is for Congress to rescind the funding by law. THAT'S FUCKING CHECK DIPSHIT!!! It's not unchecked, if Congress passes a law indicating that the contracts are pulled, then ta-da, what the Judge said is moot. That's the FUCKING CHECK!!
Goddamn it, I hate it when these Justices say stupid shit because of their fucking bias and love of Trump's cock. Just what a fucking moronic statement by Alito. If the Government wants to cancel contracts, Congress has to grant that power. That's the check on the President. If the President fucking cancels contracts without that power, the Courts can mandate that the contracts be paid, that's the check on the President. If the President doesn't like what the Courts say, then they can go to Congress for the authority, and that's the check on the Courts.
It's all fucking balanced. What an absolute pile of shit Alito has offered up in this dissent. And what's worse is that he'd be totally complicit to remand to the lower courts had it been Biden pulling this shit. Suddenly the whole "impoundment" issue would manifest for the Courts.
What an absolute fucking naked ass corrupt pile of horse shit that dissent is. Goddamn, there is zero legitimacy left in that sack of shit that calls itself Samuel Anthony Alito Jr. "UNCHECKED POWER" my fucking ass. What complete horse shit. This fucking country is a goddamn failure.
Alito absolutely needs to be impeached and disbarred for his blatant lack of knowledge surrounding this situation. If he is unable to recognize that federal funding is literally just a law, and a federal judge absolutely has the authority to uphold the law, he does not belong anywhere near the legal system.
I mean I always wondered about some of their integrity, especially when judge Thomas was shown to have accepted presents repeatedly and „failed to disclose them“ and nothing really happened.
