Train v NYC 1975 SCOTUS ruling is clear:
No President can play keep-away with Congressional funds.
When the Supreme Court spoke 9-0, they meant business.
This isn't a political game, it's the Constitution's separation of Powers.

Let’s be clear: Judicial review has been law since 1803. Marbury v. Madison is what keeps any president—or vice president—from becoming a monarch. JD Vance wants to gut that. #SeparationOfPowers

Powerful people hate being answerable to anyone. We know the need for that accountability, as a nation, from our history. That is why judicial review is written into our Constitution. That is why it matters so much.
They hate it.
