Chief Justice John Roberts on Wednesday night temporarily froze an order by a federal judge in Washington, D.C., that would have required the Trump administration to pay nearly $2 billion in foreign-aid reimbursements for work that has already been done. In a brief order issued just a few hours before the midnight deadline for the Trump administration to make those payments, Roberts signaled that the court is likely to move quickly on the Trump administration’s request to lift the order by U.S. District Judge Amir Ali, as he instructed the plaintiffs in the case to respond to that request by noon on Friday.
The dispute stems from an executive order issued by President Donald Trump last month declaring that foreign-aid funds “are not aligned with American interests and in many cases antithetical to American values.” Therefore, Trump directed, going forward, foreign-aid funds should not be disbursed “in a manner that is not fully aligned with the foreign policy of the President,” and he instructed agencies to “immediately pause new obligations and disbursements of development assistance funds to foreign countries” and the organizations and contractors that implement those projects to give the agencies time to conduct a review of their foreign-aid programs.
They have no reputation to speak of right now, what could possibly be the reason they’re letting him destroy our government? Did they threaten to kill him and his family? Wtf.
As far as I can see, the conservative justices are simply willing accomplices to the coup d’etat.
I have no doubt they’re collecting bribes along the way too (though the rest apparently not as brazenly as Thomas), but that almost seems like a sort of bonus, and really they’re just determined to do their part to destroy everything of any value that the US has ever stood for and to turn the country into a feed lot for billionaires.

Unfortunately, it’s pretty blatant for the others as well, Thomas is brown.
