The media so far has not understood this ruling properly, but I admit it looks bad.
This is a one-page unsigned order by the Supreme Court. It entertains no legal analysis and therefore it has no true precedential effect. It merely says the DOJ did not argue that the monies were not owed to the NGOs for work already performed, and therefore the lower court's order to pay the monies was something the lower court could order at his discretion.
I do feel like the DOJ bungled this petition. They will learn from this and I think we'll win the second bite at the apple when a similar case comes up next.
Now, sadly, this order will encourage other rogue district court judges to make the same kinds of findings, but I do predict something will get to the Supreme Court soon which will compel a full legal analysis of the executive's authority. This case did not do that, and I do fault the DOJ for its handling of this case.
But I am gobsmacked by Roberts and Barrett. Something is up with those two.
This is why I feel like priority #1 for Elon's team should be investigating the 2020 election and proving that it was fraudulent. Proving that Biden was illegitimately installed into office would put into question the validity of all of his appointments over the last 4 years, from federal judges to the SC justice. It might also prove many our so-called "elected" members of Congress do not actually belong there. I know I need to be patient and trust the plan, but I just feel like nothing can truly be accomplished until we purge all of the fraudulently installed people in positions of power.
