Federal Judge Blocks Part of Trump's Plan to Use National Emergency Funds for Border Wall (Congress, Obama)

[Scooby Snacks]

Stating a belief that Trump overstepped his presidential authority, the judge blocked part of his plan by temporarily preventing the administration from directing funds from other agencies toward wall construction.

Have you guys learned nothing?

So far the 9th circuit has been overturned every time when blocking Trump's actions.

If at first you don't succeed. . . That's the Loser-in-Chief's motto. How much of his border wall has been constructed so far? (Crickets.)

Have they? Do you have a list or a citation for this?

In general, funds appropriated by Congress for a particular purpose cannot be spent for another.

You think SCOTUS is going to disregard Congress’ power of the purse and award all authority to the dear leader?

I wouldn’t be so sure.

I'm not sure why you are talking about Obama.

So far there has been quite a few miles of wall built, and they are on pace to have about 500 miles built by the end of 2020.

Link or it didn't happen. Never mind. You don't even have to post a link. It hasn't happened.

Just ANOTHER Obama anti American leftist posing as a judge...he couldn't find the constitution with a map and clues attached to it.

The National Emergencies Act allows for it. That's the problem with the efforts to overturn the emergency funds spending for wall construction and is why the 9th Circus will, once again, be overturned by the Supreme Court.
