The article discusses the administration's retraction of a federal funding freeze, which lacked sound legal justification and was perceived as a poor legal tactic. Following comments from the new White House Press Secretary, it became clear that the administration aimed to obscure the court's challenges. However, this strategy backfired as judges noted the incoherence and illegality of the approach. The court's ruling highlighted that the retraction was merely a superficial maneuver, leading to continued scrutiny over the administration's legal competence.
This is NOT a rescission of the federal funding freeze. It is simply a rescission of the OMB memo... The President's EO's on federal funding remain in full force and effect, and will be rigorously implemented.
Judge MCCONNELL will *grant* the restraining order, saying the withdrawal of the 'hugely ambiguous' OMB order is only a distinction without a difference 'based on comments by the president's press secretary.'
