The Supreme Court’s decision in Trump v. CASA is a pivotal moment for federal spending and economic policy. The Trump administration can now plausibly freeze trillions in federal funding to states. Long have presidents ordered domestic, and foreign, “emergency” spending. Is this now the era of emergency spending freezes or redirects?
President Trump’s Commander-in-chief role now includes portions of the budget. As waves of Globalist forever-war refugees destroy the European economy and justify “temporary” suspension of civil liberties, the US must not continue to deny Trump the ability to redirect funds and redefine priorities. Swamp politicians still say nothing about possible Iranian terrorists bribed to invade our country by Joe Biden’s autopen. More than 1,000 illegal, unvetted Iranians now live comfortably in US “sanctuary cities” that ignore federal laws and could forfeit federal money, at Trump’s discretion. When will Iran activate assets to commit terrorist acts in the US? Biden’s autopen didn’t budget for it.
Quick recap: Supreme Court Justices Amy Coney Barrett (ACB) and Ketanji Brown Jackson did not have a “cat fight” in Friday’s seminal SCOTUS decision. Rather, their words reveal stark differences in legal reasoning between an originalist judge interpreting our constitution and a judge ignoring legal precedent to protect scripted political narratives.
The court determined that universal injunctions “likely exceed the equitable authority that Congress has given to federal courts.” Further, the court concluded “nothing like a universal injunction was available at the founding, or for that matter, for more than a century thereafter. Thus, under the Judiciary Act, federal courts lack authority to use them.”
ACB eviscerated the lack of legal rationale behind Justice Jackson’s dissent:
“(Jackson) chooses a startling line of attack that is tethered neither to these sources nor, frankly, to any doctrine whatsoever…Waving away attention to the limits on judicial power as a ‘mind-numbingly technical query,’… [Jackson] offers a vision of the judicial role that would make even the most ardent defender of judicial supremacy blush. In her telling, the fundamental role of courts is to ‘order everyone (including the Executive) to follow the law.”
Justice Barrett took a personal shot at Justice Jackson in a 6-3 ruling. Seemingly, Jackson/the swamp narrative has alienated colleagues. Jackson’s dissent, hyperbolic to point of hyperventilation, seems like a detached microcosm for ten years of deep swamp law fare against President Trump.
The Supreme Court did not address the merits of President Trump’s order in its opinion, only the extent to which one of the nearly 700 district judges in the US could block an executive action from taking effect:
“We will not dwell on Justice Jackson’s argument, which is at odds with more than two centuries’ worth of precedent, not to mention the Constitution itself…these lawless injunctions gave relief to everyone in the world instead of the parties before the court.”
ACB, capped her refutation with, “We observe only this: Justice Jackson decries an imperial Executive while embracing an imperial Judiciary.”
Deep state propagandists are apoplectic over inability to bribe 20,000,000+ illegals to invade the US, to show porn to kids, and to block lawful Presidential orders. Jackson’s dissent sputtered a version of the “threat to democracy” argument authoritarian leftists have tried to use to justify three new forever wars and “temporary” suspension of civil liberties:
“Eventually, executive power will become completely uncontainable, and our beloved constitutional Republic will be no more…quite unlike a rule-of-kings governing system, in a rule of law regime, nearly ‘[e]very act of government may be challenged by an appeal to law,'” Jackson howled.
As the Supreme Court held today, the Swamp and pet judges, like Jackson, turned district courts into an imperial judiciary. Pet judges used injunctions to block most of President Trump’s policies.
This ruling hits hard at infinite federal spending and ability to subsidize import of illegal immigrants (and votes) into the US/the social safety which supports unemployable criminals. Our federal government is over 37 trillion dollars in debt, while authoritarian politicians weaponized a district court system to block DOGE cuts or suspensions of “waste, fraud, and abuse” funding.
We could see a freeze in Venezuelan “temporary protected status” and funding cuts to states. $425 billion is already frozen. The SCOTUS decision limits new challenges. Possible cuts to public school funding for illegals, social security funding, EV charger programs, and other “wasteful” or fraudulent items restore executive budgeting power previously blocked by courts or reserved for congressional legislation/agency discretion.
President Trump weighed in with, “I was elected on a historic mandate, but in recent months we’ve seen a handful of radical left judges effectively try to overrule the rightful powers of the president. These judges have attempted to dictate the law for the entire nation.”
SCOTUS just shut down judges blocking Trump’s agenda and DOGE. We can now begin to address crippling federal debt, which is a real threat to democracy.
The power of the purse can enrich, destroy, cancel, or swing elections. Restoring a portion of that power to President Trump, who is not owned by the military industrial complex, is a bigger story than the rigged presidency of a senile puppet and his autopen handlers. We have a lot of cleaning up to do.

Excellent article!
Jackson’s lack of constitutional knowledge is frightening. SCOTUS, in this ruling, stated that the District Courts didn’t have jurisdiction to overturn Trump’s order nationwide. Yet, she whines about the Court not ruling on the merits of the case. If the Plaintiff doesn’t have a standing, the case goes no further.
Jackson is, unfortunately, the real life demonstration that DEI produces poorly educated, wholly ideological graduates, not fit for any position as a judge. ACB clearly places Justice Jackson and her extremely foolish opinion in the garbage bin. Jackson is like a child among the traditionally educated, accomplished jurists she finds herself up against. She may want to sue her professors, mentors and law school advisors.
Not ready for prime time unless it's a comedy.
