“Are there any lawsuits still outstanding that could slow the wall anywhere, outside of Texas.”
There are lawsuits, but I think that they are unlikely to be significant this year. Many are just additional instances, of arguments on which courts have repeatedly ruled in favor of the Administration (that is, waiving environmental and other laws to speed construction).
As you allude, Texas is unique with all the eminent domain filings, but that is the Government suing, instead of getting sued. The Government’s authority there is really overwhelming.
“Is there still a lawsuit on the 2020 military construction funds winding through the courts?”
The prior year’s (2019) MILCON funds are still winding through the courts. The Supreme Court last July just ruled that the Government could continue construction, while the lawsuit proceeds. It has not yet exhausted its process.
The main cause of action for the 2020 MILCON funds has not yet occurred (either awarding contracts with that money, or starting actual work). That money (to my knowledge) has not yet even been transferred for Border Wall use. So the Left will likely file more meritless, redundant lawsuits when such thresholds are met, but the final disposition of the FY 2019 MILCON lawsuits will likely be the big wildcard, in terms of lawsuits impacting the Program. It would likely decide the FY2020 MILCON issue as well (although no doubt they will try some even more spurious basis to argue against it anyway).
I think the law is clearly on the side of the Administration, in diverting those funds to Wall.
