Saagar: 最高法院维持下级法院的命令,迫使美国国际开发署和国务院立即支付20亿美元的欠款,这些款项是支付给已经完成工作的承包商的。这一决定具有重大意义,因为它否决了特朗普政府暂停对外援助支出的企图,这不仅肯定了国会拥有财政权,而且也肯定了政府必须履行其合同义务。 尽管如此,最高法院的这一决定也引发了一些争议。大法官阿尔托(Alito)等人在反对意见中认为,法院有其他方法可以处理政府所谓的失职行为,而法院不应该自行扩大其管辖权。 总的来说,这一裁决对特朗普政府来说是一个打击,它表明政府不能随意暂停国会批准的支出。 Ryan: 最高法院的裁决强调了政府必须忠实执行国会通过的法律,这与美国建国者最初的意图相符。行政部门的任务是执行法律,而不是自行制定政策。 虽然美国国际开发署(USAID)的工作很重要,但它也可能被用来作为美国影响力的工具。然而,在本案中,争议的焦点在于已经完成工作的合同,政府必须支付相应的款项。 这一裁决也表明,最高法院不会容忍特朗普政府试图绕过国会控制财政的企图。最高法院珍视自身的权力,并会积极维护其权力。

This decision reinforces the principle of Congress's power of the purse and the executive branch's obligation to honor existing contracts. The ruling sparked dissent among some conservative justices but ultimately upheld the lower court's order.
  • Supreme Court upholds lower court order
  • Trump administration's attempt to halt $2 billion in foreign aid payments fails
  • Decision reinforces Congress's power of the purse
