From the link, headline is opposite, the 6th Circuit just ruled (2 to 1) that he couldn’t use those funds. Seems as though the case was expedited.

Supreme Court rules Trump can use military funds for border wall construction

The Supreme Court on Friday ruled that the Trump administration can start using military funds to construct a wall on the southern border, handing the president a major legal victory.

The ruling allows the administration to use $2.5 billion in military funds to begin construction of a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border while litigation plays out. A lower court had issued an injunction blocking officials from using those funds.

The Supreme Court’s four liberal justices each at least partially dissented on the ruling Friday.

Correction 🚨 Alert 🚨

From the link, headline is opposite, the 6th 9th Circuit just ruled (2 to 1) that he couldn’t use those funds. Seems as though the case was expedited.

There that's better.
