President Trump on Saturday ripped into what he described as an “activist Obama appointed judge” after a federal judge blocked the administration’s plan to reallocate money to building a wall on the southern border with Mexico.
“Another activist Obama appointed judge has just ruled against us on a section of the Southern Wall that is already under construction,” he said. “This is a ruling against Border Security and in favor of crime, drugs and human trafficking.”
Trump went on to say that the administration is asking for “an expedited appeal.”
U.S District Court Judge Haywood Gilliam’s ruling late Friday temporarily prevents the administration from using reallocated funds for two wall-related projects in Arizona and Texas by diverting money that Congress has not approved.
Trump declared a national emergency in February and is using that declaration to redirect funding from the Pentagon, after Congress did not agree to the president’s demand for more than $5 billion in wall funding.
"Congress's 'absolute' control over federal expenditures -- even when that control may frustrate the desires of the executive branch regarding initiatives it views as important -- is not a bug in our constitutional system. It is a feature of that system, and an essential one," Gilliam, an appointee of former President Barack Obama, wrote in his opinion.

Appointed by and still taking orders from our “Shadow President”
Yep, this Obama appointed judge from Oakland, California is ruling on the wall in Texas, New Mexico and Arizona.
That is pretty much how I see it too.
Appeal to SCOTUS and have them overrule this insane political activist judge.
They need to arrest these judges for treason. They are indeed giving aid and comfort to our enemies. This is a military and national security issue and judges have no business interfering in it. Send the military police to haul this clown before a Tribunal.
The Founders would have taken care of these black-robed tyrants by now.
I couldn’t agree more, this turkey of a judge has taken it upon himself to decide there’s no national emergency at our southern border.
He’s dead wrong.
I notice the article does not mention the law that congress passed giving the POTUS the power to diver funds under a declared national emergency. fox is no better then any of the other msm propagandist.
This court should have refused cert and told the plaintiffs to file in DC.
Another judge who thinks HE IS the CIC.
Nope!
The Democrats certainly outfight us. That’s for sure.
We don’t block anything they do.
We even put in SCOTUS justices who basically ignore the law to facilitate their wet dreams.
“...fox is no better then any of the other msm propagandist.”
So true.

The SCOTUS needs to put an end to ALL of this legislating from the bench NOW!!! These people are judges they do NOT make laws or have the right to over rule laws from being followed WTH????
Have A.G Barr inform the Judge that he is interfering with the national security of the USA, that he has no authority to do this and should he not refrain from this he will be arrested.
