A couple of readers in response to my request in my article of March 6 ( https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2025/03/06/can-the-judiciary-block-the-trump-administrations-effort-to-eliminate-waste-and-fraud-from-the-federal-budget-pcr-interviewed-on-dialogue-works/ ) sent me an article by an attorney, Jeff Childers. It turns out that my explanation is correct. A DEI judicial appointment, Amir Ali, a Muslim, tried to use a temporary restraining order to force the release of funds to corrupt entities before he held the hearing required by temporary restraining orders. However, there is more to the story as Childers explains.
First, I will say that Childers’ article is unnecessarily snide. He describes MAGA Americans as little red hens predicting the sky is falling when in legal fact the Supreme Court ruling favored Trump. But as the whore media failed to provide a correct explanation of the Court’s ruling, MAGA Americans had no correct explanation of the decision. Their reaction to the presstitutes’ explanation was correct.
It was obvious to me that something was odd, because temporary injunctions are not supposed to be subject to repeal as they have not reached the stage of a preliminary injunction. Ali could have ordered that the cancellation of USAID dispersal of funds be put on hold until the required hearing was held, but what Ali did, either through incompetence or as a Democrat operative, not a judge, was to try to use a temporary injunction to force a dispersal of funds prior to a hearing. As it is unlikely the hearing would have resulted in a preliminary injunction, Ali was short-circuiting the judicial process. This is the reason the Supreme Court took up the Trump administration’s appeal.
What did the court rule? Not what the whore media reported. It was a victory, not a defeat for Trump.
The Court ordered Ali to issue a new deadline for dispersal of funds before his temporary order expired in 4 days, a deadline that again could be appealed, and to clarify the “obligations the government must fulfill.” The Court also ordered Ali to make “due regard” in his temporary injunction “for the feasibility of any compliance deadlines.” In other words, no more same-day deadlines. Childers says that the conditions imposed on Ali by the Court are a judicial minefield for Ali that he cannot safely maneuver his way through.
Childers offers an explanation of why two Republican judges ruled with three Democrats while four Republican judges gave a stinging dissent. The result was to sandbag Ali. The ruling put Ali in a dangerous situation, and the stinging dissent served notice on Ali that, in Childers’ words, he is “riding a banana peel down a razor’s edge.” Any more attempts to improperly use a temporary restraining order and he is “a dead skunk.” It seems that it was the three Democrat justices who did not comprehend the Court’s decision. Apparently, they thought they were voting down Trump’s appeal without realizing the box into which Ali was being put.

As they did in this case, the NY Times, NPR, CNN, and the rest of the whore media will present every development as a defeat for Trump. The whore media’s purpose is to present Trump as a dictator blocked by the judiciary and thereby demoralize MAGA Americans and weaken Trump’s support. This is the Democrat’s plan.
Trump should proceed immediately to breaking up the six mega-corporations that have monopolized the US media in six hands. In place of an independent and dispersed media, monopoly has given us a media with a single voice. This is illegal under the Sherman Anti-trust Act and inconsistent with American tradition. The illegality of the media monopoly, a product of the corrupt Clinton regime, is a perfect target for Trump.
