Democratic Party's meddling nitwitism — 4th Circuit judge Roger Gregory's posturing about Trump, Musk and USAID

Hypocrisy — let your fine locks flow?

 

Where were you, Your Honor, when the United States was (and continues) illegally slaughtering hundreds of thousands of people all over the place?

 

Not so concerned with illegality and murder, then, were you?

 

 

This question's contextual background

 

Regarding Trump and Musk's dismantling of USAID:

 

 

The State Department on Friday formally notified Congress of the closure of the U.S. Agency for International Development . . . .

 

[T]he 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Va., allowed Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency to resume efforts to dismantle the agency.

 

The three-panel decision unanimously lifted an order two weeks ago by a federal district judge that the shutdown would deprive Congress of its constitutional authority on whether to close an agency.

Evaluate Bill Clinton appointee . . .

 

. . . 4th Circuit Judge Roger Gregory's legally irrelevant virtue-signaling in that case.

 

Gregory reluctantly voted with the majority. But he just had to get his Democratic Party's holier-than-thou two cents in.

 

This so, by adding the following not judicially relevant policy hypothesis (even according to his own legal reasoning) into the judicial record:

 

 

We may never know how many lives will be lost or cut short by the Defendants’ decision to abruptly cancel billions of dollars in congressionally appropriated foreign aid.

 

We may never know the lasting effect of Defendants’ actions on our national aspirations and goals.

 

But those are not the questions before the Court today. The question before us is whether Defendants have satisfied their burden for a stay of the district court’s injunction pending their appeal to this Court.

 

Because Plaintiffs failed to include the proper Defendants, I am forced to concur in the Majority’s grant of Defendants’ request for a stay pending appeal.

 

But I write separately to make clear that my concurrence today should not be seen as an endorsement of the Executive’s likely unconstitutional actions in closing USAID, effectively dissolving a “creature[] of statute” that can only be created or destroyed by Congress.

The point

 

Where are these Democratic Party Judiciary nitwits, when American presidents start wars, without Congress's constitutionally required approval?

 

Where are they, when the Executive Branch kills literally millions of people — and thousands of our own — abroad for no legally valid reasons?

 

Nowhere.

 

Yet somehow, when a Republican administration showboats a real — if grossly flawed government cleanup — these virtue-signaling, spineless Democratic Party airheads immediately pop back into view.

 

 

The moral? — Moral cowardice rules

 

Irrelevant blather and divisively unproductive posturing typify American institutions.

 

We are, consistently now, led and controlled by vacuous grifting souls.

 

Even sheep should have the spine to get angry.
