Summary
Three federal judges dealt legal setbacks to Trump’s early second-term controversial policies in a 90-minute span.
In DC, Judge AliKhan indefinitely blocked a federal funding freeze, calling it “irrational, imprudent and precipitated a nationwide crisis.”
Also in DC, Judge Amir Ali ordered the administration to pay pay foreign aid-related money owed to government contractors and nonprofit groups.
In Seattle, Judge Whitehead halted Trump’s executive order suspending refugee admissions, arguing it “amounts to an effective nullification of congressional will.”
The governor’s ball a few days ago saw a whole group of military soldiers singing a Les Mis song instead of whatever it was they planned. I doubt the military would comply with unconstitutional orders; despite the fact that the president is commander-in-chief, they still swore an oath to uphold the Constitution.
