What would happen if privately armed citizens went to the wall set up fortifications and dared him to by-damn try to tear it down?
More like 40 million. The rest was all made up.
I don't believe they did. But I can't prove that to the standards of a court of law.

HOW ARE YOU GOING TO PAY FOR THE DESTRUCTION OF THE SECURITY FENCE, JOE????
Labor and equipment cost. And then there are legal liabilities for those who cross through the area afterward illegally and are injured.
How much money ya got, Joey?
They didn’t.
It was abrogated by both parties and ALL of our elected AND appointed on Usurpation Day, January 20, 2009 when they swore in an ineligible Kenyan from Indonesia in direct violation of that Constitution.
Words have meaning or the Constitution is an illusion.
We don’t have one anymore because NO ONE would uphold it.
