Yep, they already have a federal judge lined up to stop such a declaration.
Dems can’t find their butt holes with both hands and a flashlight.
“John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it!” Andrew Jackson, Worcester v Georgia, 1832.
Why is it always a one-sided game?
“Yep, they already have a federal judge lined up to stop such a declaration.”
So what? Ultimately they’ll have to make their case to SCOTUS where they’ll have this law to deal with:
Ҥ2808. Construction authority in the event of a declaration of war or national emergency
(a) In the event of a declaration of war or the declaration by the President of a national emergency in accordance with the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.) that requires use of the armed forces, the Secretary of Defense, without regard to any other provision of law, may undertake military construction projects, and may authorize the Secretaries of the military departments to undertake military construction projects, not otherwise authorized by law that are necessary to support such use of the armed forces. Such projects may be undertaken only within the total amount of funds that have been appropriated for military construction, including funds appropriated for family housing, that have not been obligated.
(b) When a decision is made to undertake military construction projects authorized by this section, the Secretary of Defense shall notify, in an electronic medium pursuant to section 480 of this title, the appropriate committees of Congress of the decision and of the estimated cost of the construction projects, including the cost of any real estate action pertaining to those construction projects.
(c) The authority described in subsection (a) shall terminate with respect to any war or national emergency at the end of the war or national emergency.”

The Dems already have a Hawaiian judge lined up to stop construction of any possible congressionally appropriated wall.
Illegal alien felons have killed seventy thousand American citizens...is it war yet?
This is all beltway theater. Dems are dug in with an energized base supporting them and top cover from the media. They won’t fold on this. POTUS is hamstrung by the Mueller Coup and doesn’t even have the full support of his own party. So we will get another few weeks of shutdown theater. Then McConnell will shove another pile of garbage spending bill on Trump’s desk and he will sign it. If he doesn’t his veto will be overridden.
“Yep, they already have a federal judge lined up to stop such a declaration.”
Obviously. But arguing the CIC can’t be CIC will be pretty tough.
