A federal court ruled that the Trump administration has the power to waive environmental laws in order to speed up construction of the border wall.
The ruling Tuesday has paved the way for President Donald Trump to construct his border wall, which the state of California and environmental groups have been trying to prevent, according to The Washington Times.
U.S. District Court Judge Gonzalo P. Curiel, who Trump has previously called biased by Trump due to his Mexican heritage, made the ruling that will allow the administration to waive environmental laws and build sections of the wall.
The judge said that “he wasn’t opining on whether a wall was good or bad policy — but had to conclude the government has the power to build it.”
“It is not our job to protect the people from the consequences of their political choices,” Curiel said in his 101-page ruling.
He wrote that both Congress and the executive branch “share responsibilities in protecting the country from terrorists and contraband illegally entering at the border,” Fox News reported.

... but you still need to whine like a little butt-hurt leftist infant, don’t you, Judge?
Wait. Wut? A libtard judge admitting that he is not omnipotent?
Let me go look out my window for the flying pigs.
Trump wins yet again.
The Judge has seen the light!
WALL WALL WALL !
I give Curiel a lot of credit for understanding his job and doing it and I don’t find anything wrong with his statement.
NO WALL, WALL, WALL. LANDMINES, LANDMINES, LANDMINES !!!
What is amazing is that he actually quotes the law. Not his feelings.
OH THE HUMANITY!!!
It’s an old New York trick. Trump set him up. If he voted the other way, people would say Trump was right. Most peoples ego can not handle Trump being right and sometimes they do the right think to make Trump wrong. Trump plays in liberals heads for amusement.lol
Occasionally, still, some men still have honor.
i.e. His parents did a good job.

Boy would that stop those illegals cold.
Only if covered by interlocking fields of fire on FPF and pre-registered reference points. Don’t forget the Claymores.
Those with a certain cultural background will understand.
You know your stuff. I have no clue.
Build the wall in sections, the first sections for those states which support Trump, the last sections for those states which follow anything and everything Left, e.g., Kalifornia.
Windmills or solar panels distributed along the length should provide enough power to electrify the fence/wall in an ecological way...
