Wow, what a perfect way to cap off the week for President Donald J. Trump and his supporters. The Supreme Court ruled Friday evening that the commander-in-chief can indeed protect America's border by using $2.5 billion of Pentagon money to build portions of the border wall.
The Los Angeles Times has the story:
The justices, by a vote of 5 to 4, lifted orders by a federal judge in Oakland and the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco that had barred the administration from using the Pentagon’s money to build a border wall.
Conservative justices questioned whether the environmental groups challenging Trump’s wall had standing. The court’s four liberal justices dissented.
Trump’s lawyers had asked the high court to intervene, saying it faced a Sept. 30 deadline to spend $2.5 billion from the Pentagon’s budget before the fiscal year ended and the money was no longer available.
As One America News reporter Ryan Girdusky pointed out, the president is having a very good day.

The president himself chimed in on Twitter, saying,"Wow! Big VICTORY on the Wall. The United States Supreme Court overturns lower court injunction, allows Southern Border Wall to proceed. Big WIN for Border Security and the Rule of Law!"

Happy Friday, folks!
I’m grinning.
Wow.
This is true?
Can we please now start walling off the border?
Just waiting for another black-robed tyrant to throw another injunction...
Finally these “conservatives” vote together.
You know they will.

“environmental Impact” lawsuits, for sure
Defense money can be spent for defense.
Who’d a thunk it!
Did you miss that it was the US Supreme court that made the ruling?
$2.5 billion is a good start. Many billions more needed to finish walls on the whole border.
So, how much wall can be built with $2.5 billion? Anybody?
POTUS Trump did say at the time, that the Military budget included funding of the Wall.
WINNING!!!!!!
National security over rules that crap!!!!
Best orgasm substitute of the day!
So much winning but I’m not tired of it yet! MAGA!
Oh yes.
:)
HUZZAH!
MORE WINNING!
