 This lone district judge has no right to run US foreign policy
By Rich Lowry   
Published March 7, 2025, 7:20 p.m. ET

It’s good to be king — or a district judge.

Judge Amir Ali has no power to appropriate money or spend it.

Neither does he have any authority over the conduct of US foreign policy.

If he wanted to have any of these things, he’s in the wrong line of work as a federal district judge.

Ali is not letting that stop him in his escalating conflict with the Trump administration over USAID spending, though.

The judge won a modified victory in the Supreme Court, which opted not to stop him from trying to force the Trump administration to spend money that it has currently paused.

In a dissent expressing shock and dismay that the court is letting Ali proceed on his current course, Justice Samuel Alito described the crux of the matter as the question, “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?”

The Supreme Court said, “Yes,” or, in effect, “Don’t bother us with this now although we realize the matter may come back up to us soon enough.”

When the courts make absurd rulings like this, they undermine their own authority in two ways.

First, they have granted 'every' district Judge in America the authority to manage and control the Executive branch of Federal government.

Second, with obviously STUPID ruling like this, SCOTUS encourages people to simply ignore them.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.

We've already had a situation where two judges were ruling on the same thing in the Treasury access case. SCOTUS has plenty of reason to shut this crap down.

Why have a President if any Federal Judge from any backwater rural district can override and direct him what he will do?
Why not make all Federal Judges de-facto uber-Presidents who run America and the world?

What happens when these super-Judges start clashing and overruling each other? Which Federal Judge District is the "super-uber-Judge" who not only overrides the Federal Government, but all the other Judges as well?

What SCOTUS has done is beyond absurd. It is absolute lunacy. I cannot imagine why they did this or what they were thinking, but their ruling has no legal standing just using common sense. Alito wrote: "I am stunned."

The follow on question is whether or not John Roberts could be impeached. His behavior and his ruling all seem to indicate that he is 'compromised' by someone or something. With clownish rulings like this one, it is questionable if Roberts is fit to continue in his current position.

We know the Leftist Judges are under the control of Soros and other Leftist power groups. They frequently vote expecting to be defeated by the other Judges on the panel. I do not know for certain, but I imagine even the Leftist Judges in SCOTUS were surprised and even shocked at the outcome. "This is not the way things are supposed to work."
