Groups working with USAID say the government still has not paid what it owes for their work

4. Beyond anything else that appears to be a constitutional crisis,

this IS a constitutional crisis. The Executive office is the one to enforce the paying of monies deemed necessary by the Congress. If the office tasked with paying the money won't pay the money, what do you do to enforce it if you're the judiciary branch? Brand them with contempt. Meaning what? The government has to pay a fine (which comes out of OUR money... not theirs), throw someone in jail... who?

The constitution doesn't have a provision which declares what a judge can actually do to MAKE the government do as it is suppose to do, but rather turns its back while giving you the finger. The founding fathers assumed being elected would be an elite enough office that no no-goodnik would get in and trash it. Funny how those "assumptions" work...
