"The Court finds that Defendants' actions taken to shut down USAID on an accelerated basis, including its apparent decision to permanently close USAID headquarters without the approval of a duly appointed USAID Officer, likely violated the United States Constitution in multiple ways, and that these actions harmed not only Plaintiffs, but also the public interest, because they deprived the public's elected representatives in Congress of their constitutional authority to decide whether, when, and how to close down an agency created by Congress."

Another day in appeals court awaits.

Sorry maggots.

Meh. This administration doesn't actually follow the Constitution so it doesn't matter and I'm guessing it would just be too inconvenient for Schumer to stand up and say anything about it. He wouldn't want to be mistaken for being too strict about something. Besides, Trump probably had his fingers crossed when he said the oath or something.

Seriously, has any prominent Democrat said anything about the administration just doing a bald faced refusal to follow a Judge's ruling? Maybe they have, I haven't exactly been looking but to me, something like this, I shouldn't have to try very hard to find someone speaking out about it.
 
Article 2 of the US Constitution states:

“The executive power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America. — No court may take over that role. No court may define or limit the scope of the duties of an official of the executive office of the President”
How was the executive power definition of the constitution violated.

Remember, maggot, there are three branches of government. Each defined in the constitution. You provided one definition.

Can you name all three?

Trump will demand this judge be impeached. A perfectly sane thing for a non dictator to do.
if this judge knows -or has ever walked by- anyone who has any connection to anything that get fed funding...they'll call the judge corrupt

edit to add: I didn't scroll down far enough. having an opinion on trump also makes someone corrupt

Democrat Judge Rulings:

Keep Money Laundering Schemes Going through USAID

Keep Violent Foreigner Gang Members in the USA

Refuse an Audit of the Treasury Department where they never Deny a Payment for Any Reason Ever

WHAT THE **** IS GOING ON
the judges aren't beholden to your disingenuous portrayal of current events

a new concept apparently: a tweet from trump or Elon or catturd calling someone a murderer or a accusing a program of money laundering does not make it true.

you actually have to show proof or allow those people to offer evidence to contradict those accusations...it's in that constitution you guys used to constantly scream about

Where, dumbass? If you're going to post some anti-democratic stupidity purportedly from Article II of the Constitution of the United States...you really should READ Article II of the Constitution of the United States. I highlighted the two times courts are mentioned for your benefit.

Article II​

Section 1​

The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America. He shall hold his Office during the Term of four Years, and, together with the Vice President, chosen for the same Term, be elected, as follows

Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector.

The Electors shall meet in their respective States, and vote by Ballot for two Persons, of whom one at least shall not be an Inhabitant of the same State with themselves. And they shall make a List of all the Persons voted for, and of the Number of Votes for each; which List they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the Seat of the Government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate. The President of the Senate shall, in the Presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the Certificates, and the Votes shall then be counted. The Person having the greatest Number of Votes shall be the President, if such Number be a Majority of the whole Number of Electors appointed; and if there be more than one who have such Majority, and have an equal Number of Votes, then the House of Representatives shall immediately choose by Ballot one of them for President; and if no Person have a Majority, then from the five highest on the List the said House shall in like Manner choose the President. But in choosing the President, the Votes shall be taken by States, the Representation from each State having one Vote; A quorum for this Purpose shall consist of a Member or Members from two thirds of the States, and a Majority of all the States shall be necessary to a Choice. In every Case, after the Choice of the President, the Person having the greatest Number of Votes of the Electors shall be the Vice President. But if there should remain two or more who have equal Votes, the Senate shall choose from them by Ballot the Vice President.

The Congress may determine the Time of choosing the Electors, and the Day on which they shall give their Votes; which Day shall be the same throughout the United States.

No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.

In Case of the Removal of the President from Office, or of his Death, Resignation, or Inability to discharge the Powers and Duties of the said Office, the Same shall devolve on the Vice President, and the Congress may by law provide for the Case of Removal, Death, Resignation or Inability, both of the President and Vice President, declaring what Officer shall then act as President, and such Officer shall act accordingly, until the Disability be removed, or a President shall be elected.

The President shall, at stated Times, receive for his Services, a Compensation, which shall neither be increased nor diminished during the Period for which he shall have been elected, and he shall not receive within that Period any other Emolument from the United States, or any of them.

Before he enter on the Execution of his Office, he shall take the following Oath or Affirmation: – I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.

Section 2​

The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States; he may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments, upon any Subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices, and he shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.

He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments.

The President shall have Power to fill up all Vacancies that may happen during the Recess of the Senate, by granting Commissions which shall expire at the End of their next Session.

Section 3​

He shall from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such Measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient; he may, on extraordinary Occasions, convene both Houses, or either of them, and in Case of Disagreement between them, with Respect to the Time of Adjournment, he may adjourn them to such Time as he shall think proper; he shall receive Ambassadors and other public Ministers; he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed, and shall Commission all the Officers of the United States.

Section 4​

The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.

Remind me again which branch of the government holds the purse strings. TIA.

AOC and Crockett are calling them out constantly. They will be the first 2 to accidentally fall off balconies.
