Department of State v. AIDS Vaccine Advocacy Coalition
Added 2025-10-14 08:00:10 +0000 UTCFeels like we should be able to collectively wrestle with the problems of a system by which 14 million people will die in the next five years because one man can decide to withhold a bunch of money that Congress said needed to be spent, but unfortunately, because of the law, and what the law says, no one can sue about it. Good luck with figuring this one out.

Maybe this question has been asked and answered before but has congress ever sued the executive and/or SCOTUS for clear violations of the separation of powers? You’d think Congress would have standing if their powers were being trampled. No idea what mechanism would be employed to file a suit but I’m genuinely curious about the law and history here.
