Justice Kagan writes a dissent, joined by Sotomayor and Jackson. The majority has “enabled the presidential usurpation of Congress‘s power of the purse”.

Say goodbye to the separation of powers.

Top line: The Supreme Court grabs power from Congress, which decides what to do with money that belongs to all of us, and hands it to Donald Trump. Forever.

1. Of course they did

[applegrove]

2. Vicious Court. You have to be vicious to take aid from those who have nothing when

you are so overwhelmingly wealthy.

Much like trump himself, an ignorant, uneducated, immoral lowlife.
