In a 5-4 vote, The US Supreme Court refused to bolster President Donald Trump’s foreign-aid freeze, reinstating a lower court order that requires the quick disbursement of as much as $2 billion owed to contractors for already completed work.
Over four dissents, the justices rejected Trump’s request to toss out the trial court order, which affects money owed by the US Agency for International Development and State Department.
Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Barrett sided with the liberal members of the court.
The majority told the trial judge to reset the deadlines for paying the money since his original deadline has now passed.
It is unclear what this means for the rest of the USAID funds that are slated to be spent but have not been sent yet.
We cannot wait to see how Musk and Trump respond to this fucking farcical outcome…
