Supreme Court allows Trump to terminate teacher training grants as part of anti-DEI policy

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Friday allowed the Trump administration to terminate Education Department grants for teacher training that officials deemed to violate their new policy opposing diversity, equity and inclusion efforts.

The 5-4 decision blocks a Massachusetts-based judge’s ruling that said the administration had failed to follow the correct legal process in terminating the grants. About $65 million in grant payments are outstanding.

The decision is the first win for President Donald Trump at the Supreme Court in his second term.

Five of the court's conservatives were in the majority, while Chief Justice John Roberts joined the three liberals in dissent.

1. SCOTUS doing the job they were paid handsomely to do

Don’t expect any favors from this court. Roberts has lost control of his monster.

He was the main force behind the presidential immunity ruling.

6. Our Nation's Long And Sordid History Of Enshrining Delusional Malevolence ("Closely Held Beliefs") As The Rule Of Law...

Has brought us to today.

Freedom is "Reason's" child.

When delusion rules our freedoms cease to exist in application.

This is an Americanized Spanish Inquisition Y'all Qaeda Nat-C/Nazi style with SCOTUS as the Grand Inquisitors.

Here's to the rule of law.
Here's to reason's rule!

5. Does Uncle Slappy not have a fucking mirror in his treasonous house?

The pervert oozes mediocrity yet drives new motor coaches, is a lawn ornament for rich white benefactors on their lavish estates, and is 1/9 of most exclusive club in American government. Fuck off, Clarence.

7. Looks like they were complaining about use of the Administrative Procedures Act to try to block the cuts

where (per a link in the OP article going to another NBC article) that law was described pretty simply - https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-losing-court-boring-reason-adminitrative-procedure-act-rcna191113

(snip)

Known in abbreviated form as the APA, the law allows judges to throw out federal agency actions that are "arbitrary and capricious" on various grounds, including failing to articulate why the agencies are changing policy.

(snip)

Obviously there was a draconian "policy change" that was "articulated", as vile as it was.

I would think they could potentially try again using the Impoundment Control Act as an argument (assuming there were line items in the appropriations for the Education Department, et al, that designated what the funds were supposed to be for).

8. So, the FN Supreme Court can decide cases UNSIGNED?

That's just peachy. Maybe the congress needs to do the same, so the MAGA'S don't know who voted for what?
