'Ill-conceived': Trump hit with triple whammy as 3 judges rule against him in 2 hours

President Donald Trump's legal position this week has gone from bad to worse, as three judges consecutively issued rulings against him on major executive actions, over roughly 90 minutes, CNN reported Tuesday.

First, U.S. District Judge Amir Ali in Washington, D.C. smacked down the Trump administration's attempt to ignore his order to unfreeze foreign aid through the U.S. Agency for International Development. Ali previously ordered that aid be released weeks before, but Secretary of State Marco Rubio and acting USAID director Peter Marocco had argued they already reviewed all the frozen grants and their suspension was legitimate. Ali's new ruling rejected their argument, again demanding the payments move forward.

Then, U.S. District Judge Loren AliKhan, another D.C. jurist, issued a preliminary injunction against the Trump administration's pause on federal funding and grants.
“In the simplest terms, the freeze was ill-conceived from the beginning. Defendants either wanted to pause up to $3 trillion in federal spending practically overnight, or they expected each federal agency to review every single one of its grants, loans, and funds for compliance in less than twenty-four hours. The breadth of that command is almost unfathomable,” she wrote, suspending the freeze indefinitely.

After that, yet another U.S. District Judge in Washington State, Jamal Whitehead, blocked Trump's moves to freeze refugee resettlement in the United States, proclaiming in his order that his “actions amount to an effective nullification of congressional will in establishing the nation’s refugee admissions program. While the president has substantial discretion to suspend refugee admissions, that authority is not limitless.”

 

Enraged Republicans unleash 'terror machine' against judge who ruled against Trump admin

Congressional Republicans on Monday continued to attack federal judges who rule against the Trump administration, with Rep. Andy Ogles of Tennessee introducing articles of impeachment against U.S. District Judge John Bates in Washington, D.C.

Bates, an appointee of former Republican President George W. Bush, recently demanded the restoration of information purged from federal websites to comply with President Donald Trump's executive order on gender—a decision that lead counsel Zach Shelley called "an important victory for doctors, patients, and the public health of the whole country."

 

another loss today with another judge ridiculing DOJ arguements

'We're in some other world now': Judge calls out Trump DOJ for running to SCOTUS over 'unappealable TRO' and asks if 'only what the current president wants' is law now

With a possible Supreme Court showdown lurking, a federal judge in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday tossed yet another lifeline to Biden ethics enforcer Hampton Dellinger as the Trump administration continues to try and boot him from his post at the Office of Special Counsel.

The judge didn’t mince words while listening to Justice Department lawyers argue on behalf of President Donald Trump against U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson extending a temporary restraining order (TRO) allowing Dellinger to keep his job, telling DOJ lawyers that they’re propping up their arguments based on the “narrowest” and “tiniest little exception” possible — that what Trump says goes because he’s the president, regardless of precedent.

“So what Congress has done, and what presidents of the United States have done, is irrelevant — it’s only what the current president wants?” Jackson, a Barack Obama appointee, asked DOJ lawyer Madeline McMahon during the Wednesday morning hearing.

“That’s how we define articles of power now?” she added.

 

Elon Musk Throws X Tantrum After Judges Defy President Trump’s Orders

“The only way to restore rule of the people in America is to impeach judges,” Musk wrote in one post. “No one is above the law, including judges.”

“If ANY judge ANYWHERE can block EVERY Presidential order EVERYWHERE, we do NOT have democracy, we have TYRANNY of the JUDICIARY,” he added in another.

 

another day, another judge telling the administration WTF you talking about Willis

Federal judge orders reversal of Trump's mass government firings

A federal judge on Thursday ordered the US government to reverse mass firings that are part of Donald Trump and Elon Musk's plan to slash the government's workforce.

The ruling directs the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) to withdraw directives sent to a number of federal agencies that resulted in thousands of staff being laid off.

"The Office of Personnel Management does not have any authority whatsoever under any statute in the history of the universe to hire and fire employees at another agency," US District Judge William Alsup said, according to The Washington Post.

 

agreed, but the OPM doesn't have the authority to tell agencies to fire people. they did that, that is illegal..ready fire aim..again, and again, and again with no regards for the consequences or disruption...that is NOT efficient. if either of us ran our business that way, we wouldn't be in business

 

Not sure that amercu is processing what is happening. Exec. telling legislative to join it to attack the judicial while instilling partisan hacks where the guns and prosecutorial authority lie. Add in the brownshirts willing to swat, surveil, threaten...legislators, families of, judges, now even business associates

 

so they changed their minds

ready shoot aim..do the damage, act like oooopsie..

feels fake though, just to satisfy the letter of the law after the admin intent and goal is clear

Trump Administration Walks Back Firing Federal Workers After Ruling

The Trump administration is walking back a directive ordering federal agencies to cut probationary employees after a judge last week ordered a pause to the mass terminations.

The Office of Personnel Management issued revised guidance Tuesday that clarifies the administration is not directing agencies to terminate probationary workers, who are employees that have typically been in their current positions for less than one year.

 

another boastful ultimatum walked back

The Trump administration gave schools a DEI ultimatum – then walked it back

In mid-February, the Trump administration told tens of thousands of K-12 schools and colleges they had until Feb. 28 to comply with a sweeping and vague order to root out diversity, equity and inclusion on their campuses.

Over the weekend, the U.S. Department of Education issued new guidance softening that mandate and reversing course on some of its broadest requests.

 

Alito with no shame..how dare a lowly single judge question the greatest leader this country has ever had

these guys are supposed to be impartial.

if senate was doing its job, Alito and Roberts would both be out a long time ago

'I am stunned': Justice Alito slams colleagues' refusal to let Trump keep billions in foreign aid frozen as rewarding 'an act of judicial hubris'

The U.S. Supreme Court in a 5-4 decision refused the Trump administration’s request to halt a federal judge’s order requiring the federal government to payout nearly $2 billion in foreign aid funds for work already completed. Justice Samuel Alito disagreed with the court’s majority, penning a scathing dissent in which he declared that the decision left him “stunned.”

“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. “The answer to that question should be an emphatic ‘No,’ but a majority of this Court apparently thinks otherwise. I am stunned.”
