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.
“I thought that this had already been decided by the courts”
There have been a series of lawsuits, by different parties, on different grounds, to halt border wall construction.
The common theme is a District Court, or a Circuit Court, attempting to veto the President’s actions with an immediate effect.
The Supreme Court has twice ruled that such injunctions will NOT go into immediate effect, until all appeals are exhausted, and any ruling is final. So they are likely to quickly suspend this injunction as well.
The Supreme Court has not yet ruled on the merits of any of those cases yet - maybe this term.
