Must have been a mighty weak excuse for a legal argument.
Now just add money...
Good. At least there is some sanity.
Go, Trump, build the wall.
“Conservation groups, led by the Animal Legal Defense Fund and the Center for Biological Diversity, argued that the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996’s provision giving the Homeland Security secretary nearly limitless authority to waive laws in the name of building border protection infrastructure like walls is unconstitutional.
...The 1996 law and subsequent amendments to it give the Homeland Security secretary the power to waive any law — not just environmental ones — in order to facilitate building border infrastructure like fences and roads.”
The Supreme Court left the power to waive any law to build a border wall intact. Funding is the only obstacle.
Ok, so get on with the building.
If greenies were really concerned about environmental impact, they’d be concerned about wind farms chopping up eagles.

Well, that cr*p didn’t stick to the wall.
Good.
Or just a Judge who followed the law.
For those not paying attention, the pro-Trump, pro-border wall decision was made here in San Diego by Judge Gonzalo Curiel. He was the "Mexican Judge" Trump said couldn't make a fair ruling on the "Trump University" case because he was "Mexican".
Also, the law was passed at the end of Bush 43's term and the left was just fine with it through 8 years of Obama. Only when Trump was elected did they realize "environmentalism" was their best tool to stop/slow the wall. Arizona Democrat Rep Raúl Grijalva was driving this now slapped down lawsuit.
President Trump cannot be re-elected without building the wall. All his enemies know this and have been thwarting his efforts for two years. His task was made more difficult by the midterms, since the pathetic GOP sat on their collective “majority” ass.
Pray for our President to stay strong.
“without explanation”
LOL!!
Even if all four of the Liberal Justices were sympathetic to the environazis’ arguments, they know none of the other Justices would ever agree and so cert denied.
Circus.
LOL
That one makes me laugh every time I see it :)
Appellate courts routinely reject cases without opinion. But this must have been the list of cases too stupid to even go there.
