The Supreme Court said Monday that it will hear a challenge to the Trump administration's use of Pentagon money to build the southern border wall and also its appeal of a ruling that blocked a policy sending asylum applicants to Mexico while they wait for their appeals to be heard.

A federal appeals court ruled in June that the government improperly diverted $2.5 billion of Pentagon counterdrug program money to build more than 100 miles of border wall...

The Supreme Court will hear the case early next year, with a decision by the spring. But if Joe Biden wins the election, the federal government would probably stop construction anyway...

Also Monday, the court agreed to hear the administration's appeal of a lower court ruling on its "remain in Mexico" policy of returning asylum-seekers to that country while awaiting court hearings...

The case also will be heard early next year, with a decision by the spring.

The Court will take all three cases that were brought before it on Friday (the other was on excluding illegal aliens from the census count, for the purpose of Congressional apportionment).

All three cases will be heard after Amy Coney Barrett is expected to be seated.

Short answer to all three——GTFO! Quit wasting our time or we’ll find you in contempt. Buh bye!
