The Supreme Court by a 5-4 vote has denied a request to halt construction of President Trump’s border wall over environmental concerns.

A number of groups, including the ACLU and Sierra Club, had asked the high court to get involved again after the justices last year cleared the way for the administration to use military funds for construction while the case played out in the courts.

A federal appeals court had ruled against the administration last month, but the justices, for now, have given another temporary victory to the administration.

Any defeat of the ACLU and Sierra Club is a good thing.

“The fight continues,” said Dror Ladin, a staff attorney with the ACLU’s National Security Project. “Every lower court to consider the question has ruled President Trump’s border wall illegal”

Hogwash. The 5th circuit ruled in Trump’s favor back in January.

Dror Ladin, ACLU doosh: “Every lower court to consider the question has ruled President Trump’s border wall illegal”

The Founders had One Weird Trick, where they made the Supreme Court the master of all these lower Article III courts, Dror.

You might want to read about it sometime.

Seat Six and its law clerks voted. Not Corpseburg.

At this point they see the wall as a good thing to keep Americans locked up.

“A federal appeals court had ruled against the administration last month, but the justices, for now, have given another temporary victory to the administration.”

And the American people, thanks to their good graces, have, for now, allowed the leftist liars at Fox News to publish their Nazi propaganda, in another temporary victory for the traitors at Fox News.

Yet ANOTHER VICTORY only because we had enough Senate RINOs to get to the 50+ level needed for most of the recent Republican Supreme Court picks.

...something to think about, for those considering ‘sending a message to the GOP’ in November and sitting out the election.

I have a message for the “message senders”. To do anything other than vote R from the top to the bottom of the ticket makes one complicit in the overthrow of America. As a final “message” the demons you help to power will find and destroy you.

Well I don’t trust the media, but this says she’s out of the hospital.

Temporary why?

I thought the Supreme Court was the final say on everything (at least when the decision goes the way of the Liberal).

Hey, it's settled law!!!
