The House of Representatives filed a motion Tuesday asking a federal court to block the construction of President Donald Trump's signature border wall through funds identified in his emergency declaration before it starts next month.
"Absent this Court's timely intervention, defendants are poised to begin construction on the border wall next month, using funds that Congress declined to appropriate for that purpose," the filing reads. "This Court should therefore issue a preliminary injunction to prevent that irreparable injury to the House."
The Democrat-led House sued earlier this month, arguing that Trump's decision to transfer funds from appropriated accounts to a southern border wall violates the Appropriations Clause of the Constitution. The clause -- found in Article I, Section 8 -- gives Congress power over the designation of federal spending.

We must take back the House from them.
Crazy judges will be lining up to stop Trump’s Wall ,LOL
What total America-hating b____ds those dummocraps are. They are truly, utterly evil.
Sad thing is, I can’t point to a single thing other than the “temporary” tax cut from the last Congress, when they had the clear majority.
I’m so sick of the claim they’ll do things if we just put them in the majority.
McConnell and Ryan had no list whatsoever of things they’d get done in a hurry if they go the majority.
Oh yes, I did forget the temporary tax cut.
Any bets they wanted to steal that dough? Or, at least as much as they could grab! All too well known, and predictable...
The House leadership are out of their fricken minds.
That’s hard to do when they have cheating down to an art form.
We’ll see if the “Rule of law” is still anything more than an obsolete slogan.
Why wait? Tar and feathers are a good start.
Ignor any injunction. We are being invaded and the invaders are being aided and abetted by the democrats and their supporters. Their purpose is to overthrow the Constitution of the United States.
How about Balls and a Spine?
Why wait? Tar and feathers are a good start.
I thought Trump was using house provided funds first?
“We must take back the House from them. “
We have 50 million foreign born people here and a large population of citizens who are lefties. They want felons to vote and we know that illegals votes everywhere. It’s going to come to bloodshed and I fear that the folks who love this country just don’t have the backbone to do what needs to be done.
I see how soft American men are every day and I mean disgustingly soft and whiny. If you took their cell phones away they would have a breakdown.
They approved partial funding. They have no standing, and neither does the judiciary. They have already ruled against Arizona, saying that they had no standing. Ignore all judges. To hell with them
Trump must ignore all order by any court concerning wall. He has the authority by instructing AJ Barr to issue an injunction.
The House goes nuts with the Dem. Political candidates. The media follows them all to the funny farm.
Do like they would. Ignore, proceed. Repeat as desired.
The only way they won is by cheating. I can’t believe people vote for these fools.
Don’t start any of the wall construction in a state under the jurisdiction of the 9th circus.
