A federal judge in California ruled on Wednesday that the Trump administration could not use military funds for border wall construction.
Judge Haywood Gilliam Jr. of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, an Obama appointee, ruled that the administration's plan to reallocate defense funding to a series of border construction projects is unlawful.
Gilliam said in his decision that it appeared that the administration had tried to use military funds to circumvent congressional approval, writing that "the border barrier projects Defendants now assert are 'necessary to support the use of the armed forces' are the very same projects Defendants sought — and failed — to build under [the Department on Homeland Security's] civilian authority, because Congress would not appropriate the requested funds."
It's the second such ruling in as many days, coming just after a federal judge in Texas similarly ruled in favor of a lawsuit brought by El Paso and a nonprofit.

Those black robes learn how to be gods during their three years of law school.
But Obamacare is ok coz it’s like a tax or something.
And you can’t enforce prop 8 because that’s too mean.
More anti American political bias!
Political Judicial Activism is a bigger threat to our democracy than anything Russia has done or will do.
doesnt matter. The SCOTUS ruled already that Trump can use the funds for emergency use. F those leftard judges..
These assholes file cases at specific courts where they have a leftard judge that will rule in their favor. They know the system.
This activist in black robes needs to be retired from the bench, and all members of the globalist left should be benched. It’s time to restore the rule of law and to enforce our laws.
so these crazy Judges are telling the Supreme Court to get stuffed ?
As SCOTUS has already ruled on this matter, they do nothing more than expose themselves to the people as to their feelings about National Security. This does not get a pass from the POTUS, I am sure.
They love to file every wacky claim in Hawaii.
As stated earlier, our domestic enemies have deployed their Judicial Battalion, deciding our “impeached” President won’t defy them.
Judge Haywood Zhibloamy needs to be impeached.
the Hill story suggests that the decision has legal standing.
has the SCOTUS in fact already overruled this? if so why did ACLU litigate the matter in the first place?
I still say there is something wrong when a single judge can thwart the entire executive branch so easily.
There should be a stiff penalty if it is overruled, akin to being counter sued for filing a frivolous lawsuit.
At the very least, the judge should be thrown off the bench after strike three.
The blacked robe thug has spoken. Now just tell her to go pound sand. Ignore the bitch
Sure glad we don’t have any Obama judges on the bench. /s
All ready been over ruled by the Supreme Court. Merely grandstanding by Democrat Politicians in robes. These will also be overruled
America’s robed mullahs are so nuanced and sophisticated. They make the ME goons look stupid. What’s under your robe?
IUD vs IED ALERT
Trump has to learn that the president doesn’t need the permission of all federal judges before making decisions.
