While the White House claimed that he abolished the memo, rooting the order, he made it clear that the order itself – and perhaps freezing – still acts.

It is important to say that I have no idea what is happening with the federal freezing of funding. Everyone who tells you what they do, whether it is a lawyer, a judge, a journalist, a congresson or a White House press, lying. One of the problems with the election of the president, which works above the law, is that there is no longer a coherent set of rules that need to fall when trying to understand the inconspicuous litter of the brain stemming from the oval service. Trump and his team literally make up this when they go, and we can only guess what their “orders” can mean.
With this giving up the road, let me quickly bring you to what I think is going on. On Monday, Trump ordered to freeze all federal financing (except Medicare and Social Security). The order was a clear violation of the Law on Contrarance of 1974, the US Constitution, basic civil action, good government, common sense and any suitable space standards that hinder uncontrolled chaos. To execute the order, the management and budget management sent to two pages of the memo about the inconspicuous hubblink. Everyone sued, everywhere, all at once. AMB “specified” his insane order with the “questions” that comes down to: any programs that Trump likes are still funded, all he doesn’t like, stops, Hydra. Mark Joseph Stern Has a good interpreter About why Trump’s funding is illegal, unconstitutional and obviously yes.
On Tuesday night, American County Judge Lauren Alihan (appointed Joe Biden) temporarily blocked the financing.
On Wednesday OMB canceled his memo. But he allegedly left the main executive order by sending federal agencies to maintain projects that do not comply with Trump’s agenda. In two letters of verification Acting Director OMB (and the future defendant in the truth and reconciliation commission, which will be held in Calimexiyork) Matthew Waet said the issues of introduction of Trump’s order should be transferred to the general lawyer’s lawyer (although these people are likely , there are also no wonderful concepts that happens). As I understand it, the freezing order remains in place, while OMB’s recommendations on how to implement freezing has been canceled, and now every head of the agency can simply guess how Trump may want his order.
Where I sit from, there are two reasons for the Omb memo. The first is to divert attention from Trump’s immediate unpopular policy on preventing people who rely on Medicaid to get basic medical care to stop the University of Wisconsin from hiring black people. I will provide that Trump and his disgusting fans hate the idea of black people who receive federal means that they are ready to cut off their own nose to contrary to the face. But the “pause” trillions of dollars in federal funds intended for all, a little for many the worst people in the country. By canceling the implementation memo, but keeping the main policy, the Trump administration causes additional chaos, as it is literally impossible to find out what programs were “suspended” and which can still make wages.
The second reason for the cancellation is to come up with court cases against politics. I mentioned a few days ago on the blues The fact that one of the major problems related to Trump’s policy in court is that it changes this policy daily, sometimes hourly. Even the moving court cannot keep up with the administration that changes what makes every time the sun goes away and Stephen Miller comes out of his cry. In this case, the administration may try to claim that court cases against the freezing of financing should be abolished as a dispute, because despite the fact that the main order is still remain ready for trial.
But I also said many times that the arrogance and incompetence of Trump and the know-no-one he uses will always be our greatest ally. Here is an ally whose heroic incompetence probably saved this day is Trump’s press -secretary Caroline Levit. She wrote on Twitter that the memo was abolished “stop any confusion created by the court. President EO (SIC) on federal financing remains in full force and effect, and will be strictly implemented.”
Translation: Recovery Memo OMB does not reflect any changes in politics or implementationBut it was just done to bypass the court ruling by stopping it.
Courts, generally speaking, don’t let you do it. You can’t do anything illegal, promise to stop doing the illegal case long enough to stop your case for confusion and then restore illegal activities. Legal jargon here is called “Volunteer Decrease Doctrine”. The defendant cannot come up with the case “just stopping his illegal behavior if only sued.” Basically, it’s “you know what we see you, the right” court rule.
The Trump administration will undoubtedly state that it does not violate this doctrine: its lawyers will say that the administration has really changed the implementation of politics, and therefore all lawsuits against policy should be controversial until the administration announces a new implementation strategy. But Carolina, bless her heart, effectively announced that her team’s lawyers would lie. Witness His Lord and Savior Elon Musk acknowledged that the administration manages the Gambit to try to get around the current ban against her unchanged Political.
What the courts do with this information is still guessed. While I imagine that Judge Alihan will take the words of the press -secretary literally who knows what happens if it will eventually land on the desks of our nine unleashed executives dressed in the robe. I can tell you that the Supreme Court usually does not like when the lawsuits try to make cute with their legitimate supply and, in fact, the court to pretend that it is too stupid to understand Realpolitik for the maneuvers. But I also have to remind you of the Roberts (™) path of help and support the worst Trump administration schemes. Chief Judge John Roberts likes to give Trump several opportunities a lawyer over the categorically unconstitutional orders until Trump and his lawyers understand.
We saw this with a Muslim prohibition. The first Muslim prohibition was unconstitutional and illegal. The second Muslim ban was also unconstitutional, but a little less illegal. The third Muslim prohibition was unconstitutional, but aimed at a sufficient legal language that Roberts felt comfortable by introducing a religious ban on people seeking to enter the country.

Always remember that Roberts wants Trump to succeed and will do his best to make him success. He just doesn’t want him to look like a complete snack, doing it.
The financing fight is far from over, and the organization or university, which relies on federal funds, is already authorized by Congress, still does not imagine whether the check will be in the mail, and if so, whether it will also be next. The meaning of this order was to sow chaos and chaos, still prevail over the whole federal financing environment.
But as long as they could sing in Boston, “sweet Carolina – Bam – Your incompetence has made some benefit – some kind, some kind – I was inclined – to believe that it can always.”
