We here attach the 61 pages of silly nonsense -- solely for a complete record.
Just as with the prior two times he's tried and failed to claim some bizarre immunity from suit, for taking away property rights enshrined in the law by the Congress (hisself acting solely and alone -- with his lil' Black Sharpie). . . this too shall fail. Stay tuned, we will update this long-running litigation -- as time permits. [I will admit that these funding fights have taken a back burner, to getting people without papers released on habeas. But we will find the time, in the weeks ahead.]
. . .Plaintiffs ask this Court to order the federal government to pay tens of billions of dollars in foreign aid in the manner that Plaintiffs so desire. Plaintiffs’ novel legal theory would allow any individual, who might have a chance of receiving a fragment of an appropriation, to pursue claims under the Administrative Procedure Act (“APA”) and not only force the government to obligate expired funds but also dictate the manner in which those funds are obligated [PRECISELY BECAUSE IT WAS CONGRESS that obligated the funds. Trump has no power to stop the power of the purse, in Congress -- these were already black letter law. He has no right to "veto" existing LAWS]. . . .
Trump simply ignores the power limits that the laws set -- he regularly ignores the separation of powers -- because. . . reasons. What a putz.
