PRESIDENT TRUMP WINS 20TH SUPREME COURT INTERVENTION;FOUR BILLION IN FOREIGN AID CAN STAY HOME
(ZH)The Supreme Court on Friday handed the Trump administration another emergency-docket victory, allowing it to pause spending on $4 billion in foreign aid that Congress had appropriated for the current fiscal year.
In a brief order, the court said the government made a “sufficient showing” that the plaintiffs - aid groups led by the Global Health Council - are likely barred from suing under the 1974 Impoundment Control Act. The majority also noted that “the asserted harms to the Executive’s conduct of foreign affairs appear to outweigh the potential harm” to the organizations, and left in place a Sept. 9 administrative stay Chief Justice John Roberts had issued while the justices considered next steps.
The decision blocks a lower-court ruling by U.S. District Judge Amir Ali, who on Sept. 3 ordered the administration to spend the money unless Congress affirmatively withdrew it. The administration has told lawmakers it intends not to obligate the $4 billion while proceeding with roughly $6.5 billion in other foreign-aid outlays.
It's the 20th victory for the Trump administrator station of roughly 25 rulings that SCOTUS has taken up after lower courts had ruled against the President.
GRA:He may have a horrible record in lower courts,but with the Supremes,a very high percentage of success.
