Trump can't divert military funds for border wall, federal appeals court says
CNN ^ | June 26, 2020 | Priscilla Alvarez

The Trump administration doesn't have the authority to divert Pentagon funds to construct additional barriers on the US-Mexico border, a federal appeals court ruled Friday, days after President Donald Trump's visit to a section of the wall in Arizona. In a 2-1 ruling, the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals said that the transfer of $2.5 billion circumvented Congress, which holds the authority to appropriate money.

The scotus term ends in a few days, so I wonder if there will be any retirement announcements?

Not possible to slip in an emergency appeal, is it.

They’ve probably got a Blumberg form already for appealing from 9th Circus rulings, boilerplate language about how they have no discretion but are abusing it anyway, and how they’re bat-sh!t crazy and make no sense as a matter of law.

We need a three strikes you are out policy when appellate court decisions are struck down by SCOTUS. They need their failures put on a hall of shame.

The 9th. As it is constituted now, we have to ask, as in the past 30 years, whose side are you on and have you ever read the laws your are screwing with?

When Donald wins again, he will get a couple of chances to place more sane people on that Circuit’s judge-seats to give it the balance it really needs. And hopefully he will be able to overturn it’s insane, Marxist majority.

Reading their decisions is like taking LSD and Ectasy and then trying to read the Unabomber’s Manifesto.

Unconstitutional decision that should be rejected and nullified and Trump should ignore.

The United States [the federal government]shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion
U.S. Const., Art. IV, Sec. 4.

Illegal immigration and immigration of our enemies IS invasion and Trump has EVERY Constitutional RIGHT & DUTY to do WHATEVER it takes to ensure against illegal immigration and immigration of our enemies.

Mr. President, consider such a court decision unconstitutional based upon the plain language of the Constitution and ignore this decision.

BUILD THAT WALL WITH MILITARY FUNDS!!! That's what such funds are there for anyway - to protect us from our enemies.

As President Andrew Jackson said, the Supreme court has made its decision. Now let them enforce it.

Hasn’t this already been decided by SCOTUS, from a previous suit?

He claims we have billions coming in from tariffs on China. Why can’t he use that?
