Note that the courts, Congress appropriates and legislated. Executives execute. That has been done. In this process, the courts can only rule on whether the process was carried out in Constitutional fashion.
For the courts to be involved at this point, there necessarily needs to be a question of Constitutionality (Marbury v madison).
Since all steps have been followed, the courts have no “standing”. Congress can take up the veto and still...the courts cannot be involved.
Once someone can prove “harm” and sue the C-in-C, the courts *should* remain mute [proper use] on all processes leading up to the filing of such suit.
Congress cannot file a tort against the executive branch for actions taken according to the Constitution. This is clearly spelled out in the Constitution. (Lots of inside baseball here but POTUS must spend appropriations on the thing legislated and Congress cannot tell POTUS how to spend the appropriations. POTUS can only not spend the money.
It now remains for the DS to manufacture a tort with real damages to the citizens of the US. I’m hard pressed to figure the how/what but, trust me...they will.
Until such time, the money being spent has already been legislated and POTUS will1 follow the reccomendations for spending (see above). The tort will need to come at so3m later point.
