No jurisdiction is the only ruling lawful.
1. no path in the Constitution for one branch to sue another for political reasons
2. Congress already has tools/mechanisms besides using courts
3. only one branch of Congress vs Admin - no standing
4. Congress has alternately denied and then allowed authority for Trump to move funds. Can’t act bi-polar.
The House can act constitutionally and impeach, the Senate may not agree.... that’s the way the game is played.
You’d think the House knows the rules as laid out in the Constitution. Then again....
So, what’s the upshot?
Did he make a decision, or just have a brilliant argument?
For the House Democrats, a fruitless impeachment is likely to be a political fiasco and dead weight in the 2020 election. Pelosi knows that, but many in her caucus are already invested in the effort.
Thanks for your excellent and clear post/reply!
Wow. Im surprised Pelousy et al. werent able to shop this to a leftist, activist judge. The Dims are really slipping. (Of course, with more Trump appointees on the courts now, I suppose it isnt as easy for the Dims to forum shop as they used to.)
Fortunately, for our side and our President, it isn’t as easy as it used to be for the Rats to shop for liberal judges.
Exactly. Funds are authorized to be reutilized under certain POTUS determined circumstances. Getting a court to do something about it (the law) is less politically risky than impeachment and no conviction... The sentient Dems know this.
