So, a Democrat judge who is not part of the legislative body tasked with the budget, is telling the chief executive officer who is not part of the legislative body tasked with the budget, that he must fund the budget that the legislative body who is tasked with the budget has failed to pass. Do I have this right? 🤣

Ma’am, there was $5 billion in contingency fund. Monthly SNAP is $9 billion. Who gets? How much? Keep any for contingency fund for real emergencies?

Said moron judge exists under Article III POTUS exists under Article II which holds that the President holds executive power You, Senator exist under Article I As such it is your duty to pass appropriation bills to fund the government Get to work and do your job!

Now let's see if the "pro-life" president obeys the court order

I see - the judges can throw out the Constitution and make themselves the kings you always talk about. Can’t wait for the Trump appointed judges to subsume the duties of Congress. It’s good to know you’ll be supportive.

I’m sorry, I didn’t koow the judicial branch controlled the purse strings . Thought that was the legislative branch

Yeah, no. Judges cannot decide what the legislature chooses to spend money on. It doesn't work that way.

Your party has thrown the judicial branch under the bus by encouraging such partisan activism. How many decades will it take for trust in that branch of government to be rebuilt?

We have to address the judge question sooner rather than later. Can a nation survive with a communist corrupted judiciary?

Judges stepping in again. Trump's team is working hard to cut waste and help real families, not play politics with food stamps.

No judge can order any entity or to break the law. Maybe, since you seem unaware of that, you should resign and let someone competent take your job?

Margot gave a better summary:

That same judge should order you and your crooked cronies to repay the billions you gave to NGOs to thwart the progress of this amazing country.

That’s very Authoritarian of the Judge.

Work to open the government Amy.

Tell the judge to pound sand.

What Constitutional issues do you see here? Or are you blind?

The is no irreparable harm clause to the power of the purse. Congress is refusing to fund SNAP. The executive and the judiciary have no power to force congress to appropriate money.

Did you vote yes? If not, the irreparable harm is your fault.

Looks like it still hasnt happened. You should cry harder about it.

Says the Democrat, who has voted 14 times against opening the government.

If Congress appropriates but won’t appropriate Are they giving appropriate power to the president? Via a judge

Why didn’t the judge order democrats to vote yes on the resolution?

Power hungry judges

The judge said YOU should have opened the government 35 days ago.

Judge has zero authority to do this.

You voted against the payments.

Nobody is above the law. “Irreparable harm” does not cancel law.

Where does the money come from? How can he comply if he doesnt have authorization to spend it from Congress? How is a completely optional government shutdown an emergency?

Weeks ago democrats marched for “no Kings”, now an unelected judge who never participates in the budget process is demanding the president be a king by spending money the congress has not authorized. You realize how insane the democrats look at this point, right?

Guess you're going to have to pass the CR so the program can be funded. 🤷🏻‍♂️

The Con: The original ACA promise failed - costs went up, not down Rather than admit failure, they've propped it up with massive subsidies They disguise the subsidies as "tax credits" to avoid the political cost of admitting it's ongoing spending To protect this linguistic/political cover, they're willing to shut down the government The shutdown directly harms the very populations (SNAP recipients, federal workers) they claim to champion Those populations become political ammunition - "Look what Republicans are doing to you!"

You going to come up with the extra three 3 1/2 billion? Thanks I appreciate that 💲

Translated - a judge just ordered the President of the United States to break the law. A federal law. and you are ok with that, Klobuchar?

How bout you vote to open the government.
