The SCOTUS has NO authority in matters of national security. NONE!

They could be all arrested and imprisoned

It doesn’t say anything of substance.

So do I. But I do not relish the feeling I get after a stunt like the hint to veto. That added nothing to comfort the faithful when, hours later, he signed the bill and made his points about “Never again.”

I agree with the thrust of your post. The foregoing sentence I am going to quibble with slightly. We don’t know why he did that. There might have been some last minute effort on the part of some group to do X and Trump said “if you do, I WILL veto:”

Schumer gets a tunnel, but Trump has to take our military funding to build the wall?

2016-”Lack of funds has forced the Marines to go outside the normal supply chain to procure desperately needed parts. Cannibalization, or taking parts from one multi-million dollar aircraft to get other multi-million dollar aicraft airborne, has become the norm.”

I think you can’t understand the point.

The omnibus bill concept extends to the military appropriations. That is, the military omnibus includes the wall appropriation.

Military appropriations are not being repurposed but were for the security from the outset.

I must confess that it was the multiple threads here that explained that the wall is included in the military appropriation that influenced my thinking. The various citations of detailed chapter and verse can’t be understood unless the various cited documents are at hand. I don’t have those cited documents.

However, so far, I have seen no such interpretation on Fox news yet.

I have to confess that I miss a lot! I’m super overprotective of our boots equipment situation, too, and have a very quick temper. I’ll do some research now, but didn’t get a lot of sleep so I’ll have to bookmark them for L8R. I never equated the wall funding with the defense dept so I probably didn’t read about it.

I just posted this article thread which describes the “how it happened” that this military money is okay to spend building the wall.
