Judge temporarily blocks Planned Parenthood ‘defunding’ in Trump megabill

[stealthycat]

There's no ruling. There is a temporary hold while the judge allows for arguments in order to MAKE a ruling. But there isn't a ruling yet.

And it is very possible that ultimately the judge will rule in favor of the government. Y'all freaking out about nothing at this point.

you're right, I stand correct in my wording

none the less, judicial has no authority over Congressional spending/budgeting etc

No one is denying them if the Federal Government doesn't pay for it. Your rights doesn't mean someone else has to pay or enable it.

So you are fine with Trump's administration deciding which facilities they will support, based purely on politics?

 

[Anthony60]

This court was created by Congress, but it's now telling Congress it cnt make funding decisions?

The appointment of leftist judges is a long time strategy for the Democrats. They want these judges to overrule anything and everything that they don't like. Overruling POTUS, now Congress, and seem to be ignoring SCOTUS also. The judiciary was never supposed to be this powerful, just the Supreme Court. But the left is using them like a back door program to bypass the entire system, including the Constitution.

Imagine how far we'd be from the Constitution if they were able to get a far left majority on the SC. Free speech, gone. 2A, gone. Personal liberty, gone.

This was not decided by Trump. It was legislation and was passed by both the House and Senate.

This is why your "No Kings" argument falls flat. The judge is saying the branch of government that controls the power of the purse can't determine who gets money.

First of all, the judge did not say that. He issued a time out for further argument.

Secondly, the House and Senate are totally owned by Trump, and saying this is not part of Trump's agenda is not something a thinking person would say.

so just more right wing blather, not a shred of proof there that she is "far left". can you prove that supporting PP makes you "far left"? go for it

It's not supporting PP that makes the judge far Left. It's her restraining order that embraces the Democrats theory that a District court judge can compell Congress to fund a specific organization along with ignoring the recently imposed restrictions on nationwide court orders that earns her that distinction.

The TRO isn't about Congress funding specific organizations.

It's about can Congress discriminate in otherwise qualified medical service providers from being reimbursed for non-abortion services that every other medical care provider can file claims for under MediCare/MedicAid.

The TRO is specific to PP.

Discriminate against PP how? The new law specifies abortion providers aren't qualified to receive Medicaid reimbursements. Congress not the courts has the authority to set qualifications for providers.

Congress can’t discriminate based on that.

Congress not the courts has the authority to set qualifications for providers.

No they don’t.

 

[Real blank]

Planned Parenthood is a cowardly name

 

[Lursa]

Planned Parenthood is a cowardly name

How so? Be specific.

 

[AZRWinger]

Congress can’t discriminate based on that.

Congress has the Constitutional.authority to set the criteria for Medicaid providers. The President signed the Big Beautiful Bill Act into law July 4th. Didn't you notice?

No they don’t.

The SCOTUS majority opinion in Medina v Planned Parenthood held that Medicaid is not a right, Congress cteates regulations for it. Unlike far too many district judges who falsely believe their jurisdiction os nationwide the SCOTUS is both national and has no appeals court oversight.

And PP meets the requirements. They can’t discriminate against them.

The President signed the Big Beautiful Bill Act into law July 4th. Didn't you notice?

Yes. Congress can’t withhold Medicaid reimbursement from PP.

The SCOTUS majority opinion in Medina v Planned Parenthood held that Medicaid is not a right, Congress cteates regulations for it. Unlike far too many district judges who falsely believe their jurisdiction os nationwide the SCOTUS is both national and has no appeals court oversight.

Congress can’t discriminate against PP and withhold Medicaid reimbursement. Sorry.
