The Supreme Court ruled that the US must make fraudulent payments overseas.
Forget the fraud, make the payment. Insane.
CBS reported on Wednesday’s decision.
The Supreme Court on Wednesday declined to halt a lower court order that required the Trump administration to unfreeze nearly $2 billion in foreign-aid funding, clearing the way for the money to flow to groups that have done work for the State Department and U.S. Agency for International Development overseas.
The decision from the high court ends a pause Chief Justice John Roberts issued last week to allow the high court time to more fully consider a request from the Trump administration to intervene in the ongoing court battle over a 90-day pause on foreign assistance funds.
The chief justice issued a brief administrative last Wednesday — with a midnight deadline for foreign aid payments approaching — before the full court acted on President Trump’s bid for emergency relief.
The high court split 5-4 in denying the request from the Trump administration, with Roberts and Justice Amy Coney Barrett joining with the three liberal justices. Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh dissented from the denial.
“Does a single district-court judge who likely lacks jurisdiction have the unchecked power to compel the government of the United States to pay out (and probably lose forever) 2 billion taxpayer dollars?” Alito wrote in a dissent joined by the three other conservative justices. “The answer to that question should be an emphatic ‘No,’ but a majority of this Court apparently thinks otherwise. I am stunned.”
Social media was full of video of Justice Barrett looking bitter and angry at President Trump after his speech last night. Barrett was the only choice that corrupt Mitch McConnell would approve for President Trump in his first term.
Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett has ruled that it is unconstitutional to stop giving free money to foreign countries.
Amy Coney Barrett was a huge mistake.
She hates Trump, and she hates us. pic.twitter.com/wR1jaLqlSJ— ⚜️ Queen Katerina ⚜️ (@QueenDarbyy) March 5, 2025
Others on social media point out the many examples of fraud in payments made from the US and yet the Supreme Court sided with fraud?
So the Supreme Court Justices heard all the USAID fraud listed and still ruled the next day to force the President of the United States to disburse another $2 BILLION. How is this happening? We seem to have traitors to the Constitution in our Supreme Court. Makes me furious! pic.twitter.com/ZbKdusxBu2
