Should courts be able to block governments from cutting scientific research agencies?

Context

Scientific research agencies like the National Science Foundation and National Center for Atmospheric Research receive federal funding to conduct studies on climate, health, and technology. Governments sometimes propose cutting these budgets for fiscal reasons, raising the question of whether courts should have the power to block such cuts. This debate touches on judicial authority, executive power, and the role of science in public policy—particularly urgent as administrations clash over research priorities and funding.
