Probably because Alito is incoherent and deranged. Yes a single judge can force the government to sent taxpayer dollars overseas... ... If those dollars were first duly appropriated and assigned to the sending organization by the House and then approved by the Senate and then signed off on by a President and even then only if those dollars were unlawfully impounded by a President and his billionaire appointed/not appointed/who knows side kick/co-president.

Likewise, but Chris' comment below remains pertinent; let us hope it's pessimistic and not prescient.

On the Pollyanna side it's good to see that a bare majority of the Supreme Court can be counted on to do the absolute bare constitutional minimum vis a vis Trump and the Muskrats.

On the realist side- holy fish did you read the deranged gabbling from the dissent? Alito basically did just rip the mask off and cackle "you fools, forget textualism and originalism, it was all just a feint, it was just will to power all along mwhahahaha!"

And, also, holy fish a bare minimum of the Supreme court justices required to uphold the law stepped up in the very barest minimal way.
