SCOTUS has repeatedly ruled that the executive branch cannot deny states funding for failure to meet conditions that were not part of the funding bill/law. I.e., Obama couldn’t deny Medicare funding to a state that failed to expand coverage, because that wasn’t part of the law (the ACA) as written. See: National Federation of Independent Business v. Sebelius. The current law funding states doesn’t contain any requirements for states to help with immigration enforcement (Mostly because of 10A). Therefore, there is no legal recourse for the administration to penalize states by withholding funding. Also, the federal government funds the states with a formula, based on population, poverty, unemployment, transportation infrastructure, etc. It cannot make arbitrary and capricious decisions to penalize states.

The 10th Amendment? Article I, Section 9, Clause 7? Additionally, plenty of case law. SCOTUS has repeatedly ruled that funding must NOT impact states' rights (10A), and that any conditions must be related to the purpose of the funding, and may NOT be coercive in any way. If that wasn't the case, the next administration could withhold funding to all states that didn't pass extremely restrictive gun laws, for example. That would be an infringement on the right of the state to pass their own gun laws. Super unconstitutional.

Man, that would be a punch in the gut for Buck fans. If he doesn't start Friday, is he out? Getting that few total points out of Mendez, Feldman and Bouzakis seems insane. Obviously Mendez is pulling his weight. Feldman is dealing with an all-timer this year, but he's going to be lucky to make the 3rd place match. Seems much more likely to wrestle for 5th-8th. If Davino is the starter, I have to imagine Bouzakis hits the portal unless he thinks Mendez is going up to 149 next year or he thinks he can make 125. The latter seems...doubtful.

They aren’t following the law. That’s the problem. DOGE can’t do any of the stuff they are trying to do, legally, which is why they are getting curb stomped in court. Simply put: they have no legal authority to block payments as authorized by federal spending laws. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

As the article states: “In 2014, Shokin had investigated Burisma for money laundering and tax irregularities, per USA TODAY. The probe focused on 2010-12, according to the National Anti-Corruption Bureau. Hunter Biden — who joined the board in 2014 and served on it until early 2019 — was not the subject of the investigation.” Nice try. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Shokin? The guy who wasn’t investigating Hunter Biden? Shokin investigated Burisma before Hunter Biden ever joined their board. Hunter joined 2 years after he concluded his investigation. Here’s a good article with some relevant dates that I’m sure you won’t read. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2020/10/21/fact-check-joe-biden-leveraged-ukraine-aid-oust-corrupt-prosecutor/5991434002/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
