FULL TITLE: Nancy Pelosi: Supreme Court Allowing Trump to ‘Steal Military Funds’ for ‘Wasteful, Ineffective’ Wall
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) accused the Supreme Court of allowing the Trump administration to “steal military funds to spend on a wasteful, ineffective border wall” in reaction to Friday’s ruling, which allows the administration to transfer defense funds to begin the construction of the border wall.
The Supreme Court lifted an injunction Friday, giving the Trump administration the green light to transfer funds from the Defense Department to begin the construction of the border wall, per the president’s emergency declaration.
As Breitbart News reported:
The decision was largely along partisan lines, with all five Republican-appointed justices voting to lift the injunction, while all three liberal justices were opposed. Justice Stephen Breyer sought to have it both ways, allowing the process to go forward but not the construction: “There is a straightforward way to avoid harm to both the Government and respondents while allowing the litigation to proceed. Allowing the Government to finalize the contracts at issue, but not to begin construction, would al- leviate the most pressing harm claimed by the Government without risking irreparable harm to respondents.”
Pelosi slammed the ruling, declaring that the Supreme Court is giving the administration permission to “steal military funds” to spend on a wall, which she considers “wasteful” and “ineffective.”
“This evening’s Supreme Court ruling allowing @realDonaldTrump to steal military funds to spend on a wasteful, ineffective border wall rejected by Congress is deeply flawed,” Pelosi declared.
“Our Founders designed a democracy governed by the people — not a monarchy,” she added.

She’s unraveling.
Gawd almighty is Nancy screwed up !
Bless her heart.
Uh, NEWFLASH nan. It ain’t a democracy. Butt, you’ve just shown us that you are not nearly as stoopid as the idiots on the supreme court. Right. By the way, how many of the ass-ylum seekers are you signed up to take in? None? That’s queer.
Hey Nancy,
#learntocode
Aw gees, Nancy is disappointed.
Department of Defense funds spent on national defense!?
Where are my pearls? Where is my feinting couch?
Trump should have an ass painted a portion of the wall and tell Nancy to go and kiss it.
Wouldn’t need the wall if the Dem’s supported the Constitution about illegal entry and baby dropping for citizenship.
Says the woman who considers her federal flying privileges akin to a tavern with indefinite free taxpayer financed booze. We have to do all the homework with a media like this.
I dunno ... looks like settled law to me. You wouldn’t want to go against PRECEDENT, would you?
Defense money can be used for defense?
Who’da thunk it!
Protecting the border is important.
Most people realize that.
Pelosi is delusional.
Who?
Nancy’s real issue is, Trump is robbing the Military Industrialized Complex. Money that would have gone for R and D for the Contractors in her district has been denied.
Support illegal immigrants. Support more citizens disregarding the law.
Further unchallenged HYPOCRISY!
Trump questions a court ruling and he is “attacking a bedrock foundation” of America.
Liberals viciously attack SCOTUS and crickets from Elitist MSM.
Why doesn’t anyone ever call her out on these stupid statements?
