The Supreme Court on Friday rejected an appeal from former President Donald Trump to rule against funding used for the wall along the southern border.
In an unsigned order, the court sent the case back to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit with instructions to vacate its judgments. It also instructed a district court in the case to "consider what further proceedings are necessary and appropriate in light of the changed circumstances in this case," namely that Trump is no longer president.
SUPREME COURT SUSPENDS TRUMP BORDER WALL CASE
The case, Trump v. Sierra Club, frequently made its way back to the Supreme Court after Trump announced in 2019 that he planned to declare a national emergency and reallocate funds given to him through the National Emergencies Act for the wall. Trump's maneuver, which came amid the 2018-2019 government shutdown, raised multiple legal challenges.
Every court involved in the case ruled against the then-president, finding that Trump had violated the separation of powers. In addition, the Ninth Circuit upheld a lower court injunction that blocked border wall construction during litigation. In 2019, the Supreme Court put a stay on that injunction on the basis that challengers may not have had standing to sue the administration.
In 2020, the case came back to the Supreme Court, this time with the Sierra Club asking the court to lift its stay. The court declined to do so.

Later that year, the Trump administration brought the case to the court again, claiming that the Sierra Club did not have the standing to sue in the first place. The court scheduled arguments for early 2021, but the incoming Biden administration asked that it postpone arguments.
At the time, the new administration changed course on many of Trump's immigration policies, making the case moot.
There was a small group of Sierra Clubbers who spoke up against illegal immigration as they saw the damage that was being done as the illegals travelled through sensitive desert terrain.
However they were shouted down by the leftists in the Sierra Club who now seem more concerned about being woke than caring about the environment.

Activists, not judges.
The Sierra Club is quietly the most dangerous Communist front Organization in the world. They have their hands in everything Communist, just like George Soros. Their environmental activism is just a convenient front for some very serious Communist activity including direct collaboration and money laundering with China.
Our Supreme Court is working against the us.
Burn in Hell, John Roberts.
An accurate summation: Those in the Sierra Club who WANT TO support and isolate (to “defend”) the national forest - which is really a scrub brush desert wasteland, but who’s complaining about that - were shouted down by those social-commeunt-democrats in the Sierra Club who are demanding the open-border anti-America slaves in the left continue to fight Trump’s pro-America agenda.
How can an E.O. counters signed Congressional laws on the books? Someone please tell me how that works.
Soooo, how are all those awesome “originalists” Trump appointed been working out for ya?
Club Sierra; WWF, NRDC, etc, etc.
Yep... But the Sierra Club is extremely dangerous because they truly do believe in eradication of the human species.

Have they ever stopped to consider that if that happened, they themselves wouldn’t exist?
No... They do not care. They do indeed think that the species needs to go including themselves... but last. I have talked to hundreds over the years and they are absolutely insane to this degree.
