This is the wrong court, and it lacks jurisdiction to handle this matter.
Federal Court of Claims is under 28 U.S.C. § 1346 and 28 U.S.C. § 1491. The plaintiffs demonstrate district court jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1331 and 28 U.S.C. § 1361 as stated in the complaint. How does the complaint not merit district court jurisdiction?
The legal instrument is mislabeled, as it compels as opposed to restrains. It is not facially a TRO, but a mislabeled preliminary injunction.
I will agree on the language, although the restrain in this case is to prevent the government from not following through with the executive order. The plaintiffs went with the TRO because their funding had been impacted and needed immediate relief.
The proposed remedy - which again, is not a TRO because it compels action - demands the government give an immediate universal remedy not limited to the actual parties in the suit.
This is one of the arguments that the government put forth which leans in their favor. I do think that all the organizations which have not been paid because of the freeze, but if they are not part of the lawsuit, then the shouldn't be party to the benefits of immediate relief.
 
This makes sense of why she showed up at the hearing carrying her newborn, when one would imagine such an individual would have nannies and other help perfectly capable of taking care of the child for the duration.

Elizabeth Holmes did the same thing and now she sees her kids once a week on visiting day.
She has three children, husband is a stay-at-home dad. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna told Wu today she was referring Wu, Johnston of Denver and Johnson of Chicago to Pam Bondi for crminal investigation.

 
I would say it's the other way around. Believe President Trump, with nothing to lose, would take the hits/fall, protecting Vice-President Vance as he learns the job and prepares for 28. Suggest Vice-President Vance knows this, which gives him room to learn and make his mistakes now instead of when he is the occupant of the Oval Office. Believe the two of them worked it out early on during the campaign.
Thats why its so funny when people act like Trump will want a 3rd term, he just spent the last 4 years watching Biden slowly rot away and then got shot. Every day he's president is another day he could be out golfing or doing a rally, the shit he enjoys. Trump is 100% going to take whatever falls he needs to to keep Vance pure.

Even the optics are going to make it seem like nothing really changed, Vance is already in the oval office and doing prayer breakfasts and other shit, why would anyone panic if Trump vanishes in 2 or 4 years?
 
I really thought that Trump coming back the insane stuff people said he does or will do would not be around, but people are actually crazier this time. The thing that really gets me is the we must have world war 3 now thinking. Also any action by Trump like tariffs are bad, tariffs by others are good. The number of boycots of us goods is funny by people when its on sites like reddit that are American, with people using american phones and pcs. It has been like 6 weeks, I think alot of people that hate Trump must be the happiest they have ever been in their lives as the hate of Trump is cos a cult, like the women that dress in handmaid cosplay for sexual reasons in public. I do like have this time Trump is just going for it and doing what he said he would, it is great.
In fairness, Trump is also crazier this time.
 
For those who do not know how. When you find a disruptive poster who provides no use in return for the oxygen they breath. Simply click on their user avatar, this will pop out a little square with it and a few options. Hit Ignore.
 
You're smoking that el primo Canadian fent
@John Badman, being presently unavailable, has sent us his understudy for todays performance.

Ignore buttons are for pussies and shitlibs.

I find it makes for a quicker viewing of actually good posts. If it's a reply to an ignored account I just rapidly skip over it and the ignored ones don't show at all.

I do use the feature sparingly though. Reserving it for posters who are clearly here just to be disruptive and who lack an interesting bit. Hence why Fatpacks remains.
 
Trump on Monday implemented the largest tariff increase since 1930, abruptly reversing an era of liberalized trade that has prevailed since the end of the Second World War.
You mean the liberalized trade that destroyed the manufacturing base that helped win WW2?

three days after dealing an equally severe blow to the postwar security order that has maintained prosperity and freedom for 80 years.
You mean the security order that gave us Korea, Vietnam, the Cold War, 2 Gulf Wars, the War on Terror, and now completely failed to stop "Russian aggression"?

And our erstwhile friends?
Are just that, erstwhile. The Canadians turned shitting on America into a national pasttime, and we still called them our allies. They had tarriffs and VAT on American goods for years. Either they weren't very good friends, or a reciprocal tarriff doesn't make them "former" friends.

"Trump is blowing up all these status quos that really sucked" is not the winning clapback Democrats think it is.
