Contributing sentiments towards policy:

55% : "The president's power is at its apex -- and the power of the judiciary is at its nadir -- in matters of foreign affairs," Trump wrote.
44% : Trump refused to restart billions of dollars in funding disbursements for the U.S. Agency for International Development, or USAID, after abruptly halting foreign assistance in January.
38% : "Respondents have had to furlough or lay off employees, and some are facing cancellation of credit lines, civil and regulatory actions for employment violations, evictions, insolvency, and even physical threats to personnel in conflict areas," the contractors wrote in a brief to the court.
34% : "The government cannot function -- and the President cannot discharge his Article II responsibilities over foreign affairs -- if a district court can appoint itself the claims-processor for the federal government and second-guess the executive branch's determinations on pain of contempt proceedings," Trump wrote in his emergency appeal.
31% : Trump said Ali's temporary restraining order intruded on the prerogatives of the executive branch.
28% : Instead, Trump appealed Ali's ruling, filing an 11th-hour appeal at the high court last week. Ali's order is the second time a judge found Trump did not follow court orders and comes as some administration officials suggested that the White House ignore court orders it feels interfere with executive authority.
