They aren’t suing President Trump. They are suing the U.S. taxpayers.
Blue states, right?
Yawn. The leftist melodrama is so yesterday.
We’ll remember. In 2020 their names will be mud.
All blue states. All the more reason not to vote Dem at the state level.
It will be interesting to see how Obama’s emergency declaration in 2011 about the southern border will impact on this.
Well, that injunction is as good as granted.
Wonder how many of the states suing are looking at losing House seats after the next census...?
I can guarandamntee you that NYS is...
One would assume. They only mentioned, CA, NY and ME in the article.
Typical journalism...doesn’t list all the states...kinda wish we could just say...ok...no fed funds for you...or give those states to Mexico.
Why do they get to pick which circuit these get filed?
Are US taxpayers paying to defend maine from canadians?
Cross the Rubicon Mr President
I think POTUS is trying to get this to SCOTUS as quickly as possible. Get it settled ASAP free up more money and keep building the wall. Watch the Dems stall when the court trys to block it.
So theses states WANT to be overrun by unskilled, unsophisticated illiterates who will overtax our health care, education, welfare and prisons systems? What do they like? The fact that they will speak Spanish, and only Spanish? That they will defecate on any given street corner? That they will bring drugs, disease and gang violence into every neighborhood in America? That they will undercut American workers’ wages? What? What am I missing?
Call the militia to the border. Ask the people to help.
I dont see standing, nor an action to spend NE money yet...
states have no standing to sue regarding emergency declarations. Only the congress has the right to overturn through a joint resolution. Trump should tell the judiciary they have no role.
“The litigation, brought before a federal trial court in the Northern District of California, seeks an injunction to prevent Trump from shifting billions of dollars from military construction to the border without explicit congressional approval.”
But hey already did give their approval years ago when they passed a law giving him the authority. Trump also has the Constitutional authority to protect our nation from enemies foreign and domestic.
