Some in our judicial system are resisting the Malignant Fascist and his co-President Elon "Dick" Musk's illegal moves. Yesterday was a good day for democracy and the rule of law:
President Donald Trump in the span of an hour and a half on Tuesday in a series of cases challenging controversial moves taken during the early days of his second term.
The rulings from judges in Washington, DC, and Washington state are the latest to pump the brakes on Trump’s agenda, underscoring the critical role courts have taken on for foes of Trump looking to frustrate his actions.
In DC, Judge Loren AliKhan issued a preliminary injunction that indefinitely blocks the administration from freezing federal grants and loans. The ruling expands an earlier block the appointee of former President Joe Biden issued last month shortly after the White House ordered the funding freeze. [snip]
Shortly before AliKhan issued her ruling, a separate jurist in the DC federal courthouse – Judge Amir Ali – ordered the Trump administration to pay foreign aid-related money owed to government contractors and nonprofit groups by Wednesday night, amid the legal fight over the freezing of USAID and State Department funds.
That order amounted to a legal reprimand after the plaintiffs in the cases repeatedly accused the administration of not complying with Ali’s earlier temporary restraining order that revived the funding contracts and grants that existed at the end of the Biden administration. [snip]
Meanwhile, across the country in Washington state, a federal judge in Seattle issued a preliminary injunction on Tuesday that halts Trump’s executive order suspending refugee admissions and funding.
Judge Jamal Whitehead, who was also appointed by Biden, said that Trump’s “actions amount to an effective nullification of congressional will in establishing the nation’s refugee admissions program.”...
There are more than 80 court cases challenging the actions of the moron madman, which will face further court action, many or most ultimately going to the Republican Supreme Court. There are certain to be some cases in which the moron madman will prevail. In those he doesn't, the question will be whether he'll comply. In any other time, we would like to think that the lawless actions being attempted by the moron madman would have been moot from the start, because no one other than him and his skipping dipshit chaos partner would even try to pull them off. But, given the broad and deep array of fascists, cowards, charlatans, and crackpots in the Republican cult and the barely- roused response so far from a fossilized Democratic party, we might have to think about that some more.

If they still will not comply start jailing the lawyers.
