I thought Congress was the be all on spending and obligating funds. If Congress doesn’t obligate funds to specific cities they don’t get funds.

Not sure how a judge can change that.

These funds were appropriated by Congress. Trump is threatening to cut off funding which Congress appropriated, hence the judge's ruling.

No, that’s the judge’s ‘strawman’ for his PR stunt.
The ‘case or controversey’ is strictly imaginary.

Best recourse for now is to sic Sessions on those who run the sanctuary cities and prosecute them.
