I would like to see the rule codified in law, as opposed to done by administrative fiat.
In a constitutional sense, the judge’s ruling may be correct. The legislative branch controls spending. The judge still sucks however.
It probably already is.
I’d have a hard time believing laws weren’t set up to avoid this eventuality from the get go.
It’s like all public offices in our nation require some form of oath that includes the promise to uphold the laws of our nation, some even mentioning the Constitution by name.
Then Congress, states, municipalities, and the courts refuse to enforce the penalty for refusing to abide by those oaths, and then when it hits the fan, Congress promises to tighten up the laws that already exist.
It’s all kabuki...
