House asks court to block Trump's border wall before it starts next month

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.

That is irrelevant. He knew there was not republican support to totally eliminate the filibusterer.

He has used the 51% majority to get judges and that is a far as he can go.

[Zathras]

I thought the House wrote laws?
If they want open borders, write a law that says it.

“McConnell and Ryan had no list whatsoever of things they’d get done in a hurry if they go the majority.”

And they voted numerous times to repeal Obamacare, when they knew it would go nowhere. Once Trump was in, we heard nothing more about it.

This is what happens when Democrats are in control. We must take back the House from them.

The Dems continue to show how they hate America.

My “middle class tax cut” was a massive tax hike. Thanks Mr. President! Long standing deductions were capped or made illegal. The personal exemption was eliminated. It was a Corporate Tax Cut, which is permanent.

[DoughtyOne]

I thought the democrats were trying to sell them as unfunded.

I don’t remember any talk of income neutral, that didn’t address the expected economic activity and eventual increased revenues they would spark.

The tax cuts could have been passed to cut taxes from here on out. These have an actual expiration date.

It is true that taxes could be raised too (thus making these temporary), but that would take a deliberate act on the part of the Legislative and the Executive Branches of government.

[DoughtyOne]

Nonsense...

[DoughtyOne]

Exactly...

We??? And what happened on the border wall when the GOP had control of the House. Let me buy you a clue: nothing!

Partner, u said a mouthful just with this statement.

The DemonRat party does not want any negotiating with our President Trump on the Border Wall or any other subject that really needs to be fixed. We have been having a crisis on the Border for a very long time say 33 years since we had Amnesty by President Reagan or 54 years since the Idiot President Lyndon Baines Johnson wrote into law that the police would not ask questions about their Illegal Status in this country. What a crock of Bravo Sierra.

President Trump will ask the Do Nothing DemonRat Party to sign into law the following points on Immigration Bill. It may not be all the items on Illegal Immigration.

1. Write into law "No More Anchor Babies will be legal citizens" and we will not pay for the birth of these "Anchor Babies" thru Medicaid in U.S. hospitals.
2. Eliminate "Chain Migration" into the U.S.
3. Eliminate the "Lottery System" of coming into the U.S.
4. No more H1B visas to folks that come from outside the U.S.A. This needs to stop right now. I am pretty sure they can find folks here in the states that are more than qualified for these jobs.
5. No more Visas to Mexicans and Central Americans who overstay their visas. This has been going on for a long time.
6. Send back all the Mexican and Central American folks that are here Illegally in the U.S. and receiving Welfare Benefits, Housing Benefits, Food Stamps, and Medicaid. They can not be citizens of this country.
7. Build a solid 30' High Southern Border Wall from San Diego, California to Brownsville, Texas. This will help with the infrastructure program in the U.S.
8. All illegal aliens will never become a U.S. citizen since they illegally voted on any presidential election. They have broken our laws in the books.
9. Eliminate the State Department from making foreigners legal citizens.

[TheConservativeTejano]

Partner, we have suspected this for quite a while now and nothing gets done with our current FBI, the CIA and the NSA.

Lets see we had James Comey, John Brennan, and James Clapper who did not give us a warm fuzzy about them at all.

[Bringbackthedraft]

Hmmmmmm? Don’t investigate us and we’ll OK your wall? I wonder?

[Taxman]

Yes!

I certainly hope and pray that We the People will get a harsh object lesson between now and the 2020 election as to why We should NEVER, NEVER elect another Democrat to ANY office in the land!

[morphing libertarian]

people don’t go to USC for an education, they go for the contacts they make.

[Eleutheria5]

So they contact other brainwashed ditzes while they’re being brainwashed. Sooner or later, someone notice the emperor’s state of undress.

[PLD]

These criminals are just tryng to keep the gates open for all of their illegals so they can come in and vote for them..President Trump should have buses waiting for these freeloaders at the border and put them on the buses and take them right back to where they started..Don’t let their feet touch the ground on this side of the border..Put ramps up going straight to the buses..

[morphing libertarian]

you are obviously uninformed about USC alumni
