The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Most likely that the separation of powers prohibits a judge from administering a benefits or entitlements program.

It seems more likely that the separation of powers doesn't normally allow the Executive to usurp powers delegated to Congress as the Executive has unfaithfully done in this case, and Kanji's stay hopefully means appeals will rule by Monday, expediting the case. If the original court was following the law, that's not a judge administering benefits, that's the judge following the law and recognizing people will be irreparably harmed.

I'd ask you, do you really want children not to be fed and go hungry? Is that your aim? Do you realize your "winning" in this case means people and kids go hungry and are more miserable. Is that what you desire?
