The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday ruled that President Trumps use of emergency powers to allocate millions of dollars in funding for the construction of a southern border wall was illegal, the latest blow to the Trump administrations effort to limit immigration.
In the 2-1 decision, the court upheld a December 2019 district court summary judgment in favor of a request from the advocacy groups the Sierra Club and the Southern Border Communities Coalition against Defense Secretary Mark Esper, acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf and all persons acting under their direction ... from using military construction funds appropriated for other purposes to build a border wall.

They probably felt that they just had to do something, to contribute to the Harris campaign, even if it will just be held in abeyance until final reversal.
The Ninth Circuit, yawn. I’m sure their ruling is the end, just like it was for the travel ban.
2-1 ??? What a joke!
Ignore them and see what they can do.
Use the KungFlu money. Just say the wall prevents the spread of the disease.
So those judges want the Covid infected illegals to stay at their house? BTW I dont think its still in the 9th Circuit jurisdiction is it?
The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against InvasionUS Const., Art. IV, Sec. 4.
Andrew Jackson said, “The court has made their ruling, now let them enforce it. “
9th Jerkit.
I think that this is only about one source of funding - the $3.6 billion from Military Construction.
Other border wall projects should be completely unaffected.
The Supreme Court has repeatedly been telling these Leftist lower courts, that their attempts at Nationwide injunctions on the President during a declared emergency will not be imposed, until all review is exhausted (that is, until Amy Coney Barrett gets to weigh in).
The USSC already ruled in Trumps favor over this.
Trump can safely ignore it.
Brilliant!
(As a bonus, it's even true.)
Time to investigate the judges and all the advocacy groups working against the wall for funding originating from cartels and other traffickers.
And when found guilty, because the chances that they aren’t are damn near nill, string them up.
“....the latest blow to the Trump administrations effort to limit immigration. “
Wut?! Entering the country illegally is not “immigration”. Training for militias in South America and then being shipped to the Mexican border to participate in a caravan and posing as a “dreamer” to try to sneak into the US is not “immigration”.
How many divisions do these fools have under their command?
Screw them. Laugh in their faces and move on.
This has already been settled by SCOTUS, and the 9th circuit can take a flying leap/
I thought that this had already been decided by the courts some time ago and found to be OK. Am I missing something?
In any case only a 3 judge panel from the 9 circuit is like asking Hillary, Obama, and Pelosi to give a ruling. But much time will wasted asking for it to go to the full court.
“...only about one source of funding - the $3.6 billion from Military Construction...”
-
If that is the case, (what with money being fungible and all),
just tell them we already spent that pocket of money,
and we’re using money out of a different pocket now.
OR,
well heck, we haven’t even reached into that pocket, yet.
