You know, Michelle, they point out that people's interest really perked up with the Supreme Court's initial ruling in favor of the government. And now the court, of course, it's got a conservative supermajority. Trump appointed three of those justices. Now, Stephen Vladeck, he's a law professor at Georgetown. He's an expert on federal law. And he was writing about this in his substack.

And he thinks Robert's you know, may have just been trying to give the justices some time to make a reasoned decision rather than one right up against the clock. And Vladek says at a superficial level, quote, it's obvious to him that the government should ultimately lose these cases. And that's because the government's, you know, not allowed to just not spend money appropriated by Congress.

As we said, I think often on these shows, on the U.S. system of government, Congress has the power of the purse. However, Trump says, you know, he wants to change the law so that the president can impound money approved by Congress.

Yeah, the government says it's actually changed its tune a little bit. It says it is committed now to paying what it owes, but it needs to do what it's calling a payment integrity review to make sure that all these invoices are legitimate. But remember, you know, the government did unilaterally halt these payments and it could have restarted them at any time. Where's this headed next?

Legal scholars think the justices are going to move quickly to try to resolve the case because, you know, almost none of these age organizations, they're getting, they've been paid, it's been five weeks, and every day their financial situations are only getting a lot worse.
