A federal judge on Tuesday blocked President Trump’s dismantling of three federal agencies.
U.S. District Judge John McConnell sided with 21 Democrat-led states that the shutdowns violate the separation of powers, according to The Hill.
“It also disregards the fundamental constitutional role of each of the branches of our federal government; specifically, it ignores the unshakable principles that Congress makes the law and appropriates funds, and the Executive implements the law Congress enacted and spends the funds Congress appropriated,” McConnell wrote.
The lawsuit stems from President Trump’s March 14 executive order that sought to eliminate seven federal agencies, part of his sweeping efforts to slash wide swaths of the federal bureaucracy.
The Democrat-led states sued over the dismantling of three of those agencies: the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), the Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA) and the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service (FMCS).
The coalition is co-led by Rhode Island Attorney General Peter Neronha (D), New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) and Hawaii Attorney General Anne Lopez, who is a Democrat, though the office is technically nonpartisan.
“The States have presented compelling evidence illustrating that the harms stemming from the dismantling of IMLS, MBDA, and FMCS are already unfolding or are certain to occur, in light the significant reduction in personnel available and competent to administer these agencies’ funds and services and the elimination of certain programs that served the States,” McConnell wrote.
Something must happen legally to prevent these biased judges,who are constantly preventing this president from doing what is best for our country.
These minor judges are the ones disrupting the balance of power between the branches.
Based on the actions of these left wing judges I would suppose that we should eliminate the office of the presidency.
You mean, eliminate the Judicial Branch. They are the ones usurping the powers of the president and congress.
