The 16 states that have sued Trump have no standing on border matters.

They also cannot show that they have been "Hurt" by this action nor is there any reason to 'sue' as the only funds being used now are those actually appropriated by Pelosie's bill. IOW if the court uses actual law the states are way off base. 9th Circus? I don't know.

This.

VA’s “blackface” AG is jumping in on the suit - it’s all a Dem political ploy to keep the radical left rabble happy (Trump actually outsmarted Pelosie) & a way to keep yelling about a “manufactured crisis”. No faith in the 9th circus, although Trump got a good ruling from a 9th 3-judge panel recently.

It does not matter so long as all the nation including the Republicans and Trump himself accept that anything a judge says is Law and cannot be undone except by going to a higher level judge. The entire nation has long accepted that the Judiciary is the collective absolute ruler of the nation. We really do depend for our freedoms and prosperity, ultimately for our lives, on the Decisions and whims of five Justices on USSC. I don’t think Madison and Mason et al envisioned this. And we have to depend on a set of Justices who have historically tended to move left politically as their tenure progresses and they feel more and more their total power. It invites them to rearrange things to their own liking without having to wait for legislatures and such. Roberts is the current illustration. Earl Warren of yore was originally appointed as a conservative Justice. We see in history how that went. Never never does a Justice move in a rightward direction. Going left is much easier and more satisfying.

aggrieved

How are the 16 states aggrieved?

No aggrieved. No standing.

I'm not a lawyer, but I play one on FR. I agree with you. If California wants to sue, all Trump has to do is say, No funds are destined for California. To get it into the 5th Circuit, just build the fence in Texas. No harm no foul. Why should the 9th Circuit have any say in what happens in Texas? Trump can say the funds issued by Pelosi go to California and the funds he takes from dope seizures go to Texas wall.

Try to imagine if this is successful that we could be invaded in Brownsville and Pelosi doesn't care, Trumps hands would be tied in the first few hours to move anything or spend anything until either Congress voted or courts overturned their ruling against moving money. There has to be some advantage in being Commander in Chief for keeping America safe. You can't have a system that allows Obama to make security movements and tell Trump he can't. Well,..... at least not so far.
