True or False: Justice Alito called a district court's temporary restraining order on foreign aid an "act of judicial hubris."

Question

Accepted Answer

True. According to the American Enterprise Institute, Justice Alito, joined by Justices Thomas, Gorsuch, and Kavanaugh, described a district court's temporary restraining order halting the administration's foreign aid disbursement as "an act of judicial hubris." Alito asked, "Does a single district-court judge who likely lacks jurisdiction have the unchecked power to compel the Government of the United States to pay out (and probably lose forever) 2 billion taxpayer dollars?" This rhetoric helped build the foundation for today's ruling.
