The Supreme Court gave the first glimpse into how it will handle a second Trump administration last week by narrowly ordering the State Department to disburse $2 billion in congressionally appropriated funds to USAID contractors for work they had already done. Though the ruling was merely preliminary, it suggested that at least five justices were not willing to give Trump carte blanche.
We’re so fucked. There are no constraints. What are the courts going to do, release the US Marshals upon the people who control them? Good fucking luck.
And I blame every single person who voted for him, voted third party, or didn’t vote. We knew what he was going to do. They had a 900+ page playbook ready to go.

Illegal and non-nonsensical as those means and methods may be, they are inventive.

A while back, I discovered why America is a loophole paradise. To quote, “the law code does not cover what is legal; it only defines what is illegal.” Also, fixed the headline and added a quote.
