Likely not however, the people crossing the border illegally, that’s ok with the Democrats.
Goes to the SCOTUS next................
HR cuff and stuff? Orange Man Bad!
The left is not going to let up until a vast majority cries “Uncle”. To believe that somehow being right is going to win over the rabid left and those they have convinced (or better yet, guilted) is delusional.
the 9th circus has been communist and violently anti-American for years
it needs to be fixed ASAP!
Interesting. Was it in their last approved budget? Oh wait, Congress doesn't actually write budgets anymore, they just pass resolutions to give the same amount as last time plus more without specifics. I'd say they've delegated that authority then.
Already-appropriated money can be redirected at the need of the executive. This is not seeking appropriation of new money.
This is probably the last hurrah of the leftist Ninth Circus before they finally get turned conservative by a new Trump appointee.
YEAH, 9TH, RIIIIGHT.....................
So what - DACA was unconstitutional too.
What else can it be?
“Two Democratic appointees were in the majority. A Trump appointee dissented.”
Just remember, according to Roberts, judges are not political.
He didn’t “use” military money. He “redirected” it.
I think SCOTUS already ruled previously that it was OK to transfer.
As usual, Trump is following the law but the left doesn’t like it, so the find judges that don’t care about the law. Just their ideology.
Just curious wonder where Obama got all that money to give to Iran on the pallets on the private jet
As surprisingly mentioned in the MSN article, last summer SCOTUS blocked the district court injunction from using the funds. SCOTUS said they could continue using the money and building the wall pending appeal. Not surprisingly, the 9th Circuit agreed with the District Court so the injunction is on again.
SCOTUS was 4-5 Decision along predictable party lines. (Oh, I forgot; they are non-partisan!) Decent sign they might overrule the 9th, unless Roberts think it will make him look bad. Post-election likely.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court cleared the way for the Trump administration to tap billions of dollars in Pentagon funds to build sections of a border wall with Mexico.
The court’s five conservative justices gave the administration the green light on Friday to begin work on four contracts it has awarded using Defense Department money. Funding for the projects had been frozen by lower courts while a lawsuit over the money proceeded. The court’s four liberal justices wouldn’t have allowed construction to start.
The justices’ decision to lift the freeze on the money allows President Donald Trump to make progress on a major 2016 campaign promise heading into his race for a second term. Trump tweeted after the announcement: “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!”
The Supreme Court’s action reverses the decision of a trial court, which initially froze the funds in May, and an appeals court, which kept that freeze in place earlier this month. The freeze had prevented the government from tapping approximately $2.5 billion in Defense Department money to replace existing sections of barrier in Arizona, California and New Mexico with more robust fencing.
The case the Supreme Court ruled in began after the 35-day partial government shutdown that started in December of last year. Trump ended the shutdown in February after Congress gave him approximately $1.4 billion in border wall funding. But the amount was far less than the $5.7 billion he was seeking, and Trump then declared a national emergency to take cash from other government accounts to use to construct sections of wall.
The money Trump identified includes $3.6 billion from military construction funds, $2.5 billion in Defense Department money and $600 million from the Treasury
