The Supreme Court Just Crowned Trump King—Again

The Supreme Court has just given Donald Trump in the back way to withdraw the federal costs authorized by Congress, in violation of the division of powers recorded in the Constitution. This back path also allows Trump to do one of his favorite things: fire, in particular, the Education Department. In this trial, the court handed him funds for the agency’s decoration and, with it, many federal programs created by Congress.

The right that was resolved on the “shadow Docket” of the Supreme Court – which really needs to be considered as Trump’s personal Dake – called Mcmahon v. New york. This includes the Minister of ignorance plan to Linda McMuhon to postpone more than half the people working in the Education Department. The decline was disputed in the federal court union, educational groups, school districts and a number of states, which will claim that they would be damaged if half of the labor will be taken out. The Department of Education is primarily responsible for the distribution of money for college students, mainly in the form of grants and loans, the implementation of the laws on anti -discrimination and supervision of programs for low -level students with disabilities.

The plaintiffs won the lower court and, as it became the usual, lost before the Supreme Court. 6-3 Republican superpowers decided that once again Trump could do anything. They raised a lower court ruling and allowed McMuhon to start deciphering the body of all intelligent people who raise others to find out what fights are fake.

Technically, the Supreme Court’s order is a “temporary” procedural decision that allows Trump to continue his plans until he can complete the constitutionality of his actions. But don’t twist. Shoot more than half the department – this is not what can be easy untie to a later date.

Moreover, shooting all these people – it’s just prelude Trump’s plans Close Education Department. Authorizing mass firing, the Supreme Court tells Trump that he does not really need to officially “close” the department; He can just fire every last person who works there and achieve the same result.

It is this last part that should warn people about the mass constitutional problem with the Supreme Court ruling: Congress was created by the Ministry of Education, so Congress should be the only body that can complete it. And this is double for most expenses that ended with departments: they were allowed and funded by Congress, and only Congress can cancel them.

The question here is called “connection”. As I (and Many others) have written earlierThe Law on Control over the 1974 maintenance prevents the President unilaterally refusing to spend the money that was commissioned by Congress. It relies on the long -standing constitutional principle that Congress controls the costs in this country, not the president. By allowing Trump to abandon the costs (or “collateral”) federal funds violates the main constitutional order of this country.

The Supreme Court has not yet weighed the issue of coverage directly. But Mcmahon v. New york reached a practical effect from Trump’s efforts in connection. What is the good cost program if Trump is allowed to dismiss anyone who manages it?

This is not like Trump and McMachon random. They are aimed at programs that people do not like from their clan.

In dissent, Justice Sonia Sotamoior suggested several examples of what kind of members they shoot. They shoot at all in the acquisition department of the English language, all in the special education department, which are responsible for ensuring the implementation of the American disability law, and, of course, members of seven of the 12 regional units of the Department of Civil Rights Department.

These stops are not only focused on workers, but also focused on programs: programs that have already been allowed and financed by Congress.

Jan Milchizer speak That the decision can effectively give Trump “unilateral powers to abolish federal laws.” I couldn’t agree anymore, and I couldn’t emphasize how much the ruling reinforces anything that approaches the constitutional order when we understood it. According to this decree, Trump can simply dismiss anyone in the federal government that does not like the program he does not like.

It is not the power of the president, it is the power of the dictator. More than the provision of Trump immunity, most of all that this court did, this The ruling gives him the powers of the king.

And Republicans on trial did it As long as they were on vacationIn a decree on an emergency level that did not even demand them to explain itself.

The Supreme Court is no longer useful. This will not protect democracy, the rule of law and even the constitutional order. The next Democratic President must use the powers provided by Trump knit Court.
