Second judge to block Trump's spending freeze says the policy is likely unconstitutional

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

44% : The White House has argued that the courts have no authority to block Trump's management of federal spending and that pauses in issuing funds have long been recognized by the courts as legitimate.
41% : The memo called for a pause in federal aid and grant spending so that officials could vet the spending programs for compliance with a series of executive orders Trump issued.
21% : McConnell also noted that a 50-year-old federal law called the Impoundment Control Act prohibits Trump from unilaterally canceling spending approved by Congress -- unless he gets permission from lawmakers.
