The Supreme Court on Wednesday rejected President Trump's emergency request to
freeze nearly $2 billion in foreign aid in a closely divided decision indicating that the justices will subject his efforts to reshape the government to close scrutiny.
The court's brief order was unsigned, which is typical when the justices act on emergency applications. It said only that the trial judge, who had ordered the government to resume payments, "should clarify what obligations the government must fulfill."
But the ruling represented one of the court's first moves in response to the flurry of litigation filed in response to Mr. Trump's efforts to slash government spending and take complete control of the executive branch. The vote was 5 to 4, with Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. and Justice Amy Coney Barrett joining the three liberal members to form a majority.

Great news, and a very sound decision.
