Trump halts medical research funding in apparent violation of judge’s order
Summary
The Trump administration has blocked the National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant review meetings by halting their required Federal Register submissions, effectively freezing medical research funding in apparent violation of a judge’s order.
The NIH’s actions defy a court ruling mandating an end to funding pauses. Experts warn the delay could cost $1 billion every three days and disrupt life-saving research.
Scientists suspect the move is a covert attack on medical science. If the administration continues to defy court orders, officials could face contempt charges.
The NIH did not provide an explanation for the cancellations.
Do it, don't give these ass hats the time to play and see how far they can run, smack them with whatever tools are at your disposal NOW!
If they are violating a standing federal court order and nothing is done about it, that's the final nail in the US coffin. They've been doing all kinds of devious shit but openly violating a court order is blatant corruption and a sign of what's to come.
A friend of mine, a lawyer, is very much a fence-sitter and thinks most of the alarm surrounding Trump is overdramatic.
But even he had to admit that if the courts lose legitimacy like that in such a brazen way, the country is finished.
Yup. 60 min talked about that last week. Andrew Natsios, professor at A&M university and former administrator of USAID under Bush, said if/when the current WH refused to enforce/obey a SCOTUS order, that would bring on a constitutional crisis ... and nobody knows what would happen then.
