For fuck's sake, it was created by an act of Congress. This should be a no-brainer. Either the president's job is to execute on the law as determined by Congress, not to just overrule it by fiat, or we have a king.

Well....
Wweeelllllllllllll....
It’s nudity. The king is naked
The word you are looking for is more like dictator.
It's not that it is wrong, but it is a bit fuzzy. Because Kings haven't had dictatorial powers in western countries for centuries, and modern Kings are generally NOT above the law, and are often an integral part of well functioning democracies in modern societies.
Denmark Norway and Sweden are all kingdoms, and are among the highest functioning democracies in the world.
It doesn't matter. The judicial cannot enforce anything. They don't have the power
It's always been the weakness of the constitution. Only the honor system has kept us a country
The rights and freedoms of Americans has always been a gentleman's agreement, and they've run out of gentlemen.
Yep. We need to do better next time.
I really, really hope there's a "next time" to do better in, but at the moment I'm not particularly confident there will be.
We're pretty thoroughly fucked.
Let's stand together, brother or sister, and we can make one.
these poor fucking kids, y'all.
covid in 2020, trump again in 2025, decades of anti-education bullshit..
real victims of the information war
Luckily for them, they'll never be able to understand what was taken from them.
So I guess there's that...
No Child Left Behind was the first shot against education
Yeah, that, and the damn voucher scam they used to begin siphoning funding from public schools into private ones. Now they’re just straight up trying to fund private religious schools with taxpayer dollars. Blatantly unconstitutional, just like the rest of this admin.
Not quite the information age I was promised in the 90s.... Womp womp
The judge also told the administration to reinstate Education Department employees who lost their jobs during the reduction-in-force announced on March 11 and “to restore the Department to the status quo.”
Or what? Seriously. He's not going to do it, nothing will change, he won't have any consequences, and he will continue penetrating America's proverbial asshole with a hot curling iron.
Ideally, start arresting every person who enacts the president's illegal actions. They should have arrested every person in DOGE that illegally occupied any of the government buildings or seized government information.
Its not going to happen.
Well interestingly enough that big beautiful bill removes the courts ability to do it...
No court of the United States may use appropriated funds to enforce a contempt citation for failure to comply with an injunction or temporary restraining order if no security was given when the injunction or order was issued….

If the president can ignore the court, the court can ignore the laws.
Of course, down that road lies. . . well, we passed Madness a while back. Not sure where this road leads, anymore.
Did the big beautiful bill make it through?
Yeah, the House passed it this morning.
Still has to pass the Senate
Angry fiscal conservatives might still kill it if their constituents are up in arms about spending
Oh for sure. Senate Republicans have stated that they were annoyed the house was wasting their time with the bill in its current form.
It will probably end up changing significantly. Most of the Senate is more moderate than House members.
Guess who tells bondi what to enforce?
U.S. Education Secretary Linda McMahon
I don't think I'll ever get used to this best value Idiocracy
TOMBSTONE PILEDRIVER BAH GAWD
Best value? I'd say it's A1!
Like trump and company will listen or respect this decision. Haven’t the courts learned that they don’t give a fuck
