Rothstein found that diverting the money is unlawful because it would take money that Congress appropriated for military construction and use it for domestic law enforcement.

LMAO!! By saying immigration law is "domestic law enforcement",she just blew the "sanctuary city" argument all to hell.

But it can go for bridges, schools, and hospitals in countries that hate us.

I agree. I hope these people suffer for their idiocy at some point.

Our scumbag AG here in WA, the nitwit Bob Ferguson is very astute at judge-shopping, he has sued Trump over 50 times...

he is definitely open borders and strong supporter of sanctuary cities.

Are they not one of the states with sanctuary cities? If so the court just recently gave President Trump authority to withhold federal funds.

Screw that. Time to revaamp the courts period! Need to change the rules for being impeached. It should apply to only elected individuals. Appointed one, fired by simple majority if serious malfeasance is found. Why this cou try should have to suffer through a judicial gauntlet of leftists assholes who use the constitution to wipe their asses is ridiculous. They violated their oath, they need to be fired. The president decides, the Senate has hearing on their record, and then vote with51 votes for removal. Its the only branch of government where there is no real oversite to prevent judicial corruption. Time to pass a constitutional law putting these assholes on notice and on a short leash.

Fine, keep the money and find another reason to cancel or put on indefinite hold that Washington project. End of day, do not spend that money in Washington.

While it is true that impeachment begins in the house for the president.

It is not true that the impeachment of a judge starts in the house it can be carried out at the sole discretion of the senate. But it cannot be done with a simple majority in the senate. I believe it requires 67 votes or a 2/3 majority but I could be wrong perhaps it’s only 60.

The consequence designed in the Constitution is impeachment, if we had elected officials with the spine to use it.

But not in Washington state. The ruling applies to only the 2nd District in the northeast. The 9th ruling stated the funds can’t be withheld, which means the issue will be going to the SC and they will have to resolve it.

The Constitution will need to be changed and that is not going to happen. Sorry.

Not true. Judges are impeached in the House and tried in the Senate. Look at the Alcee Hastings impeachment in the House and conviction in the Senate trial. He lost his judgeship due to bribery, I believe. That is before he was then elected to the House from Florida.

If Trump actually abides by that decision, then the country is effectively over.

Silly beyotch, it’s not domestic law enforcement, it is preventing invasion and that’s in the DoD bailiwick.

It is becoming so easy to lose respect for the courts. This judge should be impeached and disgraced. What an elderly loser.
