Trump has been working on fixing the 9th. The left right ration is much better now than it has been and will get better still.

Maybe from the ten thousand fraudulent tax refunds that went to a single address in Chicago. Maybe from Solyndra. Maybe from his Ukraine slush fund. The possibilities are endless.

SCOTUS, here we come.

After all, a wall is a military defense.

The USSC cannot be fixed without returning the beginning before the USSC asserted its primacy and that assertion became accepted by the whole nation. The Court having the last word is not a tenet of the Constitution but there is no opposing it. Appointed judges cannot be checked should they decide to make totally insane patently unConstitutional Decisions. Solid Conservatives become liberals almost predictably- pace Clarence Thomas- once on the Court and understanding that they have The Power. We need an Article V convention but that won’t happen either unless there is a massive backlash against the current insanity.

A BORDER WALL is a Fortification between The United States and Other countries.

THAT’S A MILITARY PURPOSE.

Time for These Leftist Politicalized Judges to be GONE.

"The U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals said the power of the purse belongs to Congress [??? emphasis added], ..."

The “power of the purse” is uniquely associated with the House of Representatives (1.7.1).

And speaking of power, the corrupt 9th Circuit Court wrongly ignores that citizen taxpayers have not only always had the express constitutional power to elect federal representatives, now also to elect senators, and effectively ordered Congress to build the wall when they elected PDJT.

Send "Orange Man Bad" federal and state government Democrats and RINOs home in November!

Supporting PDJT with new patriot federal and state government leaders that will promise to fully support his already excellent work for MAGA and stopping SARS-CoV-2 will effectively give fast-working Trump a "third term" in office imo.

yes. understood.
a somewhat quicker way to solve the court’s problem is for an administration (as a co-equal branch of government) to simply ignore a court order.
the specific item should be carefully selected, probably one where the court has interfered with the president’s national defense duties? or some clear violation of citizens’ constitutional rights
or>

but anyway, the court has zero enforcement power without the cooperation and assistance of the elected executive

So the military cannot be used to defend the border? Building a wall is a humane thing to do. I’m all for setting up machine guns on sensors to cut any illegal in half as they trying to invade. It would only take a couple of casualties and the invasion would stop. Far fewer wetbacks would die that way than they currently do at the hands of coyotes and nature.

9th Circuit has no jurisdiction in this case. If Congress doesn’t like it, it is up to them to dispute the constitutionality.

Next is probably 9th circuit “en banc” (all together).

Currently 16-D and 14-R.

If DJT were to defy or ignore a Decision such as about his taxes the Republicans in Congress would joyfully impeach him.
