Conservative judges ‘stunned’ by the Supreme Court’s decision, a lambar majority in a terrible disagreement
Four conservative Supreme Court Justices She wrote a glittering disagreement on Wednesday after the court majority rejected the claim of Trump’s administration to continue freezing in paying a foreign assistance.
Justice Samuel Alito singled out most of the High Court because he allowed the lower court judge to determine the time frame for the Trump’s administration to pay almost $ 2 million for the previously completed Pro-help project, which he called “too extreme”.
In a terrifying eight -page disagreement, Alito called the decision “unhappy wrong step” and once he said “rewarding the act of court judges” lower court, US District Judge Amir Ali.

“Is there one judge of the district court who is probably lacking in jurisdiction of the unprotected power of forcing the United States Government to pay off (and probably losing forever) $ 2 billion in taxpayers?

Chief Judge John Roberts intervened, agreed to stop a time lane to allow the whole court to consider the case.
Acting lawyer Sarah Harris claimed that, although the plaintiff’s demands are probably “legitimate”, the time ordered by the lower court judge, the US District Judge Amir Ali, is “impossible”. and “not logistically or technically feasible.”
Judge Ali, for his part, quickly moved to TKAE’s action on Wednesday to an unpaid party of a foreign help – setting a new hearing in court on Thursday afternoon to consider the issue.
