There’s one other point to make.
Trump has already declared a national
emergency on the opioid epidemic.
https://www.whitehouse.gov/opioids/
For the rats to claim that moving money
from the military defense budgets creates
a hardship on the enforcement of drug
interdiction, it is not true. The money
is there for the opioid emergency declaration.
I believe it’s funded thru the dept of health.

I agree. I wrote: I would argue that the States are not claiming any injury to date and the complaint should be dismissed as untimely. Argue that the States do not allege a sufficient connection (nexus) to some theoretical injury and the President’s decision to use certain funds. Simply put, the courts do not adjudicate hypothetical claims.
