The Trump 2020 campaign is highlighting examples of the president keeping his promises, advisory board member Marc Lotter says.
The attorneys general of California, New York, and 14 other states on Monday filed a lawsuit in the Ninth Circuit against the White House's recent national emergency declaration over border security, claiming President Trump has "veered the country toward a constitutional crisis of his own making."
President Trump sarcastically had predicted the lawsuit last week. He's slammed the Ninth Circuit multiple times as "disgraceful" and politically biased.
The litigation, brought before a federal trial court in the Northern District of California, seeks an injunction to prevent Trump from shifting billions of dollars from military construction to the border without explicit congressional approval. The suit also asks a court to declare Trump's actions illegal, arguing that Trump showed a "flagrant disregard of fundamental separation of powers principles engrained in the United States Constitution" by violating the Constitution's Presentment and Appropriations Clauses, which govern federal spending.
The litigation additionally includes allegations that Trump is violating the National Environmental Policy Act, by planning to build a wall that could impact the environment without first completing the necessary environmental impact reports.
The states contend they have standing to sue the administration largely because, they allege, the federal funds could have been spent on their defense. "Maine is aggrieved by the actions of Defendants and has standing to bring this action because of the injury to the State and its residents caused by Defendants’ reduction of federal defense spending in Maine due to diversion of funding to the border wall," one section of the suit reads.

This list of states should probably be used when making a decision about splitting the US. My guess is that big swaths of those states will want to go along with the rest of the country, leaving a bunch of urban areas that can’t grow their own food, and that generally don’t even produce anything other than ‘financial services’, to fend for themselves.
“Roberts is Bush Jr’s neocon POS. ‘Obamacare is just a tax’ my butt.”
Roberts seems to be an enigma. I am not confident that any of us know who he actually is.
I strongly believe the leftist scum are holding a secret on him and he has been permanently and seriously compromised.
The only one with standing to sue is the State of California and only after Trump spends the money allocated in the budget and they show harm.
A southern wall is desperately need in Texas.
As well as a western, northern, and eastern wall.
Anything that you can imagine about what happens at that level of politics is believable.
I’m not going to “agree” to read the article.. are the states all dem voting states? They want the illegal voters. If they couldn’t vote for 7 years plus citizenship.... or 20 years till vote possible.. the stuff the dems pull to get what they want.. is the crux of all the problems. They have turned into a really bad party.
“The only reason Michigan currently has a leftard governor and a lesbian feminist AG is that the state’s GOP totally abdicated any serious opposition in 2018. “
Abdicated, or colluded? It’s very hard to know in this day and age.
I’m surprised Mass. hasn’t joined, or New Jersey. I don’t live in Mass, but in New York State. Born and raised here. Too old to move anywhere else.
Your Honor! Representing the Commonwealth of Virginia: Governor Ralph ‘Coonman’ Northam!!
All states with Dem Attorney Generals.
I live in CT. Our idiot AG played follow the leader, which was CA.
Original jurisdiction is at SCOTUS, since a State is a party in the court proceeding.
Article 3, section 2:
“In all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be Party, the supreme Court shall have original Jurisdiction.”
Original jurisdiction means _only_ jurisdiction. No other court has and authority to hear, much less decide the case.
Follow the law of USA, POTUS.

I don't think that's going to fly -- even in the Ninth Circuit. The defense budget is $700 billion.
