Un juge américain déclare que la coupure de financement des médias publics par la Maison Blanche est inconstitutionnelle

Federal district judge Randolph Moss in Washington, D.C., on March 31 ruled that U.S. President Trump cannot stop funding for public media solely through executive orders, as his use of government powers such as fiscal authority to “punish or suppress unpopular speech” violates the Constitution. It is understood that Moss prohibited the implementation or enforcement of the executive order signed by Trump last year on the same day. The ruling states that the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution sets an “impermissible red line” for the government’s use of powers like the “purse strings,” meaning it cannot “punish or suppress unpopular speech.” (CCTV News)
