    so if you make a good faith effort but don't succeed, does that count when success is the requirement?

    Roberts couldn't give a reason for the stay

    dt cries that they can't possibly meet such an unfair deadline

    only been frozen a couple of weeks but it will take three weeks to pay it all. pissing and telling em it's raining, judge wasn't buying it, Roberts says look at the pretty yellow rain trying to avoid the executive branch being in violation of a legal judicial order. he can't stop it though, might as well go ahead and nut up

    The Supreme Court just handed the Trump administration a win on USAID

    Roberts issued the stay on Wednesday night after Sarah Harris, the acting solicitor general, appealed to the Supreme Court, saying the order's end-of-Wednesday deadline, which she called "imminent and arbitrary," made "full compliance impossible."

    Harris added that the order, issued in a lower court by District Judge Amir Ali, required the administration to disburse "nearly $2 billion by 11:59 p.m," when doing so would require "multiple weeks."

    The halt allows Trump to continue freezing foreign-aid money allocated by USAID, whose spending has been a target of the president in his cost-cutting drive.

    Roberts did not provide a reason for the stay, which gives the Supreme Court time to evaluate and rule on the Trump administration's request. He gave the plaintiffs until Friday to respond.
