A federal judge in Washington on Monday denied a request by House Democrats to block President Donald Trump from transferring funds from appropriated accounts to construct his wall.

I remember a bunch of conservatives saying that a judge would strike Trump down on this after the government was reopened, and the wall wouldn’t get built.

Correct decision. This is a political squabble not a constitutional question.

I do agree that the judge seemed to imply that congress had a chance to vote against the presidential declaration of the emergency and failed to win a veto proof majority in both houses of Congress. Congress had the power to end the declaration of emergency and blew it.
