Obama Massachusetts Judge Now Rules That <i>Congress Does Not Control Congressional Spending</i>

Obama Massachusetts Judge Now Rules That Congress Does Not Control Congressional Spending

This absurd judicial insurrection was launched to protect -- of course! -- Planned Parenthood.

Planned Parenthood has a right to taxpayer money, this Cultural Enricher discovered.

Note that this isn't an injunction against an executive order. No, this judge is declaring that a law passed by both chambers of Congress and signed by the President is invalid.

A federal judge has temporarily blocked part of President Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" that cuts Medicaid funding to Planned Parenthood. The ruling came just hours after the abortion provider sued to protect its federal funding.
Key Details:
U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani granted a 14-day Temporary Restraining Order on Monday, halting implementation of the defunding measure.
The lawsuit argues that while the bill doesn't name Planned Parenthood, its structure effectively singles the group out by applying restrictions only they meet.
Planned Parenthood says the funding cut could force nearly 200 of its clinics to close.
Diving Deeper:
On Monday, a federal judge issued a temporary block on the Trump administration's effort to strip Medicaid funding from Planned Parenthood, halting a core provision of the president's signature legislative package known as the "Big Beautiful Bill." The ruling came within hours of Planned Parenthood filing suit in the U.S. District Court in Massachusetts.
Judge Indira Talwani, appointed by former President Barack Obama, issued a Temporary Restraining Order that bars the Department of Health and Human Services from implementing the defunding measure for 14 days. In her order, Talwani instructed HHS to "take all steps necessary to ensure that Medicaid funding continues to be disbursed" to Planned Parenthood during that period.
While the legislation does not specifically name Planned Parenthood, the abortion giant is the only provider meeting the criteria outlined in the bill, making them the de facto target. Planned Parenthood's legal team contends that the provision is both discriminatory and unconstitutional. According to the lawsuit, "Many Planned Parenthood Members will be required to lay off staff and curtail services... Members may be forced to shutter a substantial number of their health centers nationwide, many of which are in rural or underserved areas."

John Sexton is baffled -- the Supreme Court just ruled that South Carolina can completely ban Medicaid payments to Planned Parenthood, and the Supreme Court just told lowly district court judges they could not issue nationwide injunctions.

This judge just blew off the Supreme Court, twice.

I'm really not sure how this is possible. It has been less than two weeks since the Supreme Court ruled that South Carolina could block Medicaid reimbursements to Planned Parenthood.

At issue was a provision of the federal Medicaid law that guarantees Medicaid patients the ability to choose their doctors, or in the words of the statute, they are entitled to "any qualified and willing provider." South Carolina, however, maintained that it could disqualify Medicaid providers for "any reason that state law allows." Or as Gov. Henry McMaster, a Republican, put it, "Taxpayers should not be forced to subsidize abortion providers who are in direct opposition to their beliefs."
On Thursday the Supreme Court, by a 6-3 vote along ideological lines, agreed.
So today Planned Parenthood sued the federal government arguing that it could not cut them off from Medicaid reimbursements.

Planned Parenthood sued the Trump administration on Monday over a provision in President Donald Trump's sweeping domestic policy bill that would prevent its health centers from receiving Medicaid reimbursements.
In a complaint filed in Boston federal court, Planned Parenthood said the provision is unconstitutional because it singles out members for advocacy for sexual and reproductive health care, including abortions...
...
Is this a nationwide TRO or does it only apply to PP of Massachusetts and Utah? It's not clear to me because it does say funding should continue to Planned Parenthood Federation of America, which is a national organization. Didn't the Supreme Court just put an end to nationwide TRO's by federal judges? I thought they did but maybe this is an exception somehow?

Matt Margolis:

It's almost impossible to overstate the sheer audacity of what's just happened in Massachusetts. In a move that defies both logic and the very foundation of our constitutional order, an Obama-appointed judge has swooped in to protect Planned Parenthood from the will of the American people as expressed through their elected representatives.
Judge Indira Talwani, sitting on the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, decided that Congress--yes, Congress--doesn't actually get to decide how taxpayer money is spent, at least not when it comes to the Left's sacred cow.
Let's be clear: This wasn't a rogue executive order or some bureaucratic sleight of hand. Congress passed a law. The people's representatives, accountable to voters, made a decision to defund Planned Parenthood as part of the One Big, Beautiful Bill. That's how our system is supposed to work. If you don't like it, you organize, you vote, you persuade your fellow citizens and change the law. That's democracy. But apparently, that's not good enough for the activist bench.
Instead, Judge Talwani issued a temporary restraining order, telling the executive branch not to enforce the law. Not because the law was found unconstitutional or even legally questionable--no, the judge didn't bother to offer any real legal reasoning at all.
The ruling simply halted the will of Congress in its tracks, leaving Americans and even seasoned legal professionals scratching their heads. How does a judge order the executive branch to ignore a duly-enacted statute without first declaring that statute invalid? On what grounds?

Per MXMNews, Mike Lee wants to impeach this judge:

Conservative lawmakers denounced the judge's move. Senator Mike Lee of Utah said on X, "Unless I'm missing something, this is an abuse of judicial power. And unless there's more to the story here, I suspect the House Judiciary Committee will consider articles of impeachment."

@LarryOConnor

This bill was debated and voted on in committee and then on the floor of the House, then debated in the Senate and voted on there and finally ratified again in the House before the President signed it into law.
But, "NO KINGS" or something...

I'm not.

These people are both retarded and dedicated. They cannot see that there will be negative consequences at all.

I'm hoping this is finally where we start seeing some impeachments, even if they fail. Impeaching judges is far less fraught politically than impeaching a president.

And it's better empty theater (since the Senate won't convict) than hearings.

38 Easy solution. The supreme court declares "U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani has shown herself incapable of understanding the law or adhering to Supreme court rulings. Hence we are invoking a nationwide injunction against Judge Indira Talwani - all future ruling from her will be considered automatically null and void till further notice."

Then what? Whatever she says or does is irrelevant - the Supreme court has ruled she is incapable of rendering any judicially sound decisions. She either resigns in disgrace or is impeached by congress.

You only have to do this once to fix the problem.

Not declaring a judicial coup through action and leaving it to rhetoric got us to the point where even Kagan is signing off on decisions telling Trump to file writs of mandamus against judges who keep overstepping their bounds.

These TROs and shit are just weakening the judiciary as a whole (SCOTUS pulled an accepted judicial power just last week) and the left in general, their ability to use the courts to declare policy having weakened significantly.

Trump is playing this well. This ruling won't last the week.

What is going on here is that the judge is issuing an order that stops the government from doing something (defunding planned parenthood) before the case has been heard, saying that the case is likely to succeed on its merits. Which it's obviously not. Congress absolutely can decide to not fund PP. So this is a judge ordering the treasury to spend money congress told it not to, with no legitimate basis to do so.

Preliminary Injunctions are supposed to be used in rare circumstances that would make sense to all of us. Basically, the judge should find that there is a likelihood of success on the merits of the underlying case, there would be "irreparable harm" without the injunction, that the "balance of hardships" tips in the favor issuing the injunction, and that the public interest is served.

So if I'm suing you to stop you from strip mining your property because it'll cause my house to collapse, that's a case were a judge can say "no mining until we hear the case" because if they allow the company to move forward and the house collapses, well, it's a bit too late at that point for the court to do anything.

These judges have been abusing that power massively.

105 I'm not a lawyer, so forgive the naivete. Is it not the case that this is the crux of Marbury? Note that I'm not defending Marbury, but as things stand, can't judges decide whether or not something is constitutional?

Posted by: Archimedes
-------
No, district court judges have traditionally only been granted the power to decide a specific case within their jurisdiction. Thus, any TRO or injunction would only apply to Planned Parenthood facilities in that Mass jurisdiction. Back when the judicial system started, Supreme Court justices used to ride the circuit and important cases involving the constitution were heard in circuit courts where you had several judges hearing the case together. In those instances, often a Scotus justice would sit as a trial court judge (see Aaron Burr's trial) along with another judge or two. Later, this became the three judge panel where any law state or federal was determined to be constitutional and a direct appeal (not a writ of cert) meant that Scotus had to decide the case. That was finally abolished by Congress in 1976-79 period except for voting rights cases. I think the law should be revised back to older 3 judge panels again.

If the shoe was on the other foot (ie: if the NRA got money and a Dem congress cut that off), I am fairly confident that case would be dismissed on several grounds, one of which there is no particularized harm and that the case isn't ripe since there are no damages yet.

149 I keep saying, these are not injunctions.

By their form, they are writs of mandamus.

They are ordering the Executive to "do," not "stop."

But they lie and dress up their order in all the language of an injunction. Because they can play grab-ass and all sorts of hanky-panky under an injunction that they can't under a mandamus.
When the clear object of the orders is to demand the Executive act; mandate he act.

But this one is even more outrageous than all those prior illegal orders:
It's ordering the Executive to spend money that hasn't even been allocated--not just ordering Trump to illegally divert lawfully appropriated funds from other programs, a huge illegality, but also that Trump defy Congress to do so.

See also the FL clown judge ordering the FL AG to do what she can't order directly b/c the LE are not parties to the case.

Lived in a small town in New England. There was one black family. But in the years I lived there the East/South Asian population EXPLODED.

At one point on the black kids got in trouble for fighting at school. Suddenly there was this enormous "anti-racism" coalition arguing he was innocent and it was all racism. The leaders of the org were bored Indian housewives as were all the people I saw actually holding signs. And they used the opportunity to argue THEY were an aggrieved minority.

The end result was a bunch of town dollars for Indian culture enrichment and...the kid still got suspended (as he probably should have been).

You are correct in the old meaning of the writ of mandamus which included officials. Nowadays though, writs of mandamus only apply to judges in the federal system (there might be a few archaic throwbacks but I don't remember any off hand), and mostly true in state systems. Injunctions are in fact the favored tool nowadays instead of writs of mandamus (seldom seen today but that might change as Scotus specifically mentioned its use in the Mass judge's case where he tried to thwart a specific Scotus ruling as non applicable.)

Agreed. I think we put up with all of this immigration for so long because Mexicans and Central Americans are culturally similar to us and genuinely likeable and nice people.

Of course, if you go to those countries, you'll notice a shocking lack of diversity. I guess that's why they don't have a lot of strength.

But most immigrants from most countries are not nearly as "cool" and desirous of assimilating and being part of the US as our Mexican amigos.

I work with a lot of legal immigrants. Their views are pretty vile.

The Indian men see white girls as whores to have sex with and to lie to, knowing they're going to marry an Indian woman of the right caste. Stringing these girls along, treating them like shit.

The Asians and Indians I know both seem to look down on and very much dislike white people. They weaponize our racial issues b/t whites and blacks in the US for their own interests. And I have been told to my face multiple times by multiple people that Americans are fat, lazy, stupid, entitled and materialistic. And they use that mindset to influence their voting (and hiring) decisions.

Which... it's one thing if *I* say some of those things, it's a completely different thing coming from an outsider. Even if they hired a lawyer and are now a US citizen.

district court judges have traditionally only been granted the power to decide a specific case within their jurisdiction. Thus, any TRO or injunction would only apply to Planned Parenthood facilities in that Mass jurisdiction.

SCOTUS needs to reassign cases, at a minimum. It's a practice common in circuits, and there's no reason SCOTUS itself can't order reassignments.

And Congress needs to impeach and use its funding powers to punish judges.

But the process is already surprisingly accelerated. We went from Trump's EO on birthright citizenship to ending national injunctions as SCOTUS policy in 4 months.

My hope is that the SCOTUS starts slapping these judges the same day, with caustic and critical and sarcastic holdings.

Otherwise the federal judiciary is going to keep doing this shit.

It is more that it is uncontrollable lefty district court judges--you don't see the same dogshit rulings with conservative judges.

234 TJM, machine collapsing around them? Don't see that happening. And even if SCOTUS belatedly begins to try to enforce some order in its own system, SCOTUS itself remains a problem. You say some "justices" are annoyed or losing patience or whatever. Well it only reinforces what a disastrous "rule of men, not law" exists. If the local party secretariat is annoyed at your kolkhoz's use of tractors on the roads, you might get slapped.

And I don't think the buffoon O'Connor or the nutcase Kennedy were products of "critical legal theory". The absurd, and disastrous, outsized power of the judiciary is the issue. Of course directly related to the virtual disappearance of Congress in any meaningful sense, and the timidity of the executive. This "system" is only being trimmed at the (new) extreme edges.

I'd note the other cases where they went before SCOTUS and they left open whether there should/could be contempt for Trump refusing to follow the trial court order, even though SCOTUS ruled in favor of Trump.

There was ... hesitation to say it wasn't possible, b/c the order was voided, but more of a "don't be a fucking retard because if you do, we'll be forced to come out and say don't be a fucking retard, you can't do that."

The clown judges may think they are gods but the SCOTUS is becoming more horrified at them exposing their lack of actual power.

246 SCOTUS needs to reassign cases, at a minimum. It's a practice common in circuits, and there's no reason SCOTUS itself can't order reassignments.

And Congress needs to impeach and use its funding powers to punish judges.

A lot needs to be done.

But the process is already surprisingly accelerated. We went from Trump's EO on birthright citizenship to ending national injunctions as SCOTUS policy in 4 months.
Posted by: TheJamesMadison, searching for thrills with John Frankenheimer at July 08, 2025 12:45 PM (GBKbO)

Problem is that the Court then punted the Case and hearing back to the same Judge, who gave the injunction based on the IDEA that it would lose in court in the first place.

So, how the hell is that Judge going to be impartial? If he already has said that it is likely to fail?

You are thinking of a bill of attainder. However, that does not apply to spending bills as not getting tax money via grants is NOT the same as being barred from existence or any other substantial punishment.

Congress cannot distinguish between races, sexes, etc. on spending (although the former is a bit arguable as Bolling v. Sharpe is a very dubious ruling) as a punishment but if motivated primarily by policy, then it easily passes the rational basis test.

As people mention, one of the problems is lack of judicial punishment. Scotus often uses the remand to the original judge simply to speed up the final disposition in the case so it can be overruled even including biased ones (often leaving it to appellate courts to fix the dullard's ruling without further Scotus intervention). Assigning it to a new judge actually delays final disposition on issues like TROs or preliminary injunctions.

Plus, remand is similar to making a school kid redo their homework to pass muster. The process is the punishment.

Which, of course, is an outright lie.

There are many other abortion providers that also receive Medicaid for other services.

For example, I'd guess that pretty much every Mengele-adjacent ObGyn takes Medicaid for other services, and pretty much every medical practice is a corporation or LLP nowadays, not a sole proprietorship.

And in my anecdotal experience, even the best of the best are still not very good.

Until last year, the official average IQ in India was like 72. Overnight, it changed to 90-something. Might be true or not, but from what I've seen, we're not exactly dealing with smart or hard working people.

We are dealing with people with a lot of confidence and an unhealthy dose of the "fake it til you make it" mentality, mixed with a lot of nepotism.

The second our tech companies started getting Indian CEO's, the hiring strategy shifted massively from Americans to Indians.

Then they got to fill their DEI quotas by hiring Indians. None of the big tech companies are hiring black kids from the hood for those jobs.

Not a problem. The whole judicial system of tests is what drives most court decisions (other than lefty types that ignore the law). Rational basis test--state must have a rational reason (not the best or optimal but simply rational option) and plaintiff has the burden of proof to demonstrate the government's action is irrational.

Strict scrutiny, state has to have a compelling reason to circumvent Bill of Rights protections, the action/law/policy must be narrowly tailored to address the policy issue without affecting other constitutional rights, and the state has the burden of proof to show the compelling nature of the state's need to act plus that their actions are narrowly tailored to the specific compelling interest. 1st Amendment cases are classic. An edge case never made it to Scotus but dealt with a guy figuring out via open source documents how to build a fusion bomb and tried to have it published in a magazine. Federal government went to court and got prior restraint injunction on the publication. Compelling interest was keeping other nations from being able to blow us up better, and the prior restraint was for a rewrite.

342 I think part of the kink these judges get off on is that the administration has to go through the motions in their system to implement policy.

379 There is also the intermediate scrutiny aka heightened scrutiny which originated with gender/sex discrimination cases. Craig v. Boren was an Oklahoma law that permitted females to drink at 18 while males had to wait to 21. The state argued that males rationally behaved worse than females in cases of drunk driving, disorderly fighting, etc. by something like a 10:1 ratio so delaying males from drinking reduced this problem.

Scotus and the left on the court wanted strict scrutiny on sex discrimination cases, the 4 conservatives wanted rational basis. So Justice Brennan of the left persuaded Justice Powell (swing justice at the time also in Bakke), to swallow intermediate scrutiny for this case where the males won.

Intermediate scrutiny only requires an important government objective that the stated law/policy is directly related in reaching plus state has burden to prove both elements.

Messy ruling that permitted the fedgov to keep women out of combat branches and the draft without making things like same sex marriage legal at the time.

421 Injunctions are to be used only if 1) irreparable harm would occur if the action was not stopped AND 2) the merits of the case would very likely favor the plaintiff. Hence the plaintiff is expected to make a sound legal argument AND the opposing party should get to respond AND the judge should carefully explain their decision, limiting the scope and scale of the injunction to the maximum extent practicable.

None of that happened here - the judge heard weak arguments from planned parenthood, said "sounds good to me." then invoked the injunction without ever hearing the other side of the story. Surely planned parenthood could run a few weeks without congressional funding; hence no harm would occur by allowing the government to respond.

I don't think it meets the Constitutional definition but obviously it meets the *functional* definition. Plus, at the very least Blondi ought to sue they/them asses as they/them have shown they/them cannot be impartial wrt immigration invasion cases.

The actual text: Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.

Seems to me attempting to help an enemy invader escape law enforcement clearly meets that definition. Imagine a federal judge sneaking a German saboteur or Japanese pilot away from law enforcement in the 40s...

Pete Buttigieg would have done that, but Biden was running circles around him and had some better ideas about spending the resources to hire epileptic pilots and air traffic controllers.

441 420 I'm not a lawyer, so forgive the naivete. Is it not the case that this is the crux of Marbury? Note that I'm not defending Marbury, but as things stand, can't judges decide whether or not something is constitutional?

I'm not a lawyer either; my understanding of that case from decades ago was the power of judicial review is unique to the Supreme Court as a co equal branch of government. The activist p*ssant courts getting their payola to rubberstamp leftwing bullsh*t are lesser courts CREATED by Congress; they don't have the standing to check Congress or the Executive.
Maybe i have this wrong but that's what i recall from my old civics class.

Undoubtedly, the federal courts have the power to hold state laws and actions as unconstitutional. That was baked into the cake at the Convention through the supremacy clause and specific restrictions on states versus the federal government plus the specified allocation of power. States ran amuck during the Articles of Confed era and explicitly ignored the federal constitution at the time in several cases involving diplomacy, admiralty cases, etc.

Judicial review of other fed branches was more controversial.

442 El Mariachi, I believe beyond the ridiculous violation of all *their own* rules involved in this and other orders, the courts have generally not been requiring injunction bonds ($$ from the plaintiffs), which I think is a device to discourage frivolous suits (again whig can clarify or correct). Believe someone in Congress is trying to do something about this, though what or how I'm not sure.

If it was "undoubted" that the federal courts could review the constitutionality of state actions, then why was the Fourteenth Amendment necessary?

450 no. she ruled the complainants have a point (potentially) that must be investigated and stopping funding will cause hurt to PP (hence the TRO). as PP had long time to work on this and submit to the exact right federal district judge, it is only clear that they expressed a "legal Constitutional point" that it. Now they must back it up. (my opine: unlikely)
