The United States Supreme Court ruled on Friday that President Donald Trump can use $2.5 billion in military funding to build the border wall along the U.S. southern border. USA Today reports that the Supreme Court's "order temporarily settles just one of several skirmishes between the Trump administration and House Democrats, 'blue' states led by California, and environmental groups over border wall funds." Trump responded to the news in a tweet, writing, "Wow! Big VICTORY on the Wall. The United States Supreme Court overturns lower court injunction, allows Southern Border Wall to proceed. Big WIN for Border Security and the Rule of Law!" "The 30-foot steel bollard fencing will replace barriers that the Trump administration says are dilapidated and ineffective," Bloomberg continued. "Some of those existing barriers are designed only to prevent vehicles from crossing and don't stop pedestrians." Axios added that the president "wants roughly $8 billion to build a wall on U.S.-Mexico border, $3.6 billion of which he plans to access with emergency powers." The five conservative Supreme Court Justices ruled in favor of the Trump administration while the four liberal justices would not have allowed construction to start. "The $2.5 billion had been shifted from various programs including personnel and recruiting, Minuteman III and air launch cruise missiles, E-3 aircraft upgrades and the Afghan security forces training fund," CNN reported. "The Pentagon said it was able to move that money due to uncovered cost savings as part of a process known as 'reprogramming.' The money was moved into a Defense Department counter-drug account that is authorized to spend money on the construction of border barriers." Poster Comment: OrangeMan bad. OrangeMan very very bad!

As you're aware, the Trump administration had asked to redirect $6.7 billion. "The administration’s ability to use the rest of the money President Donald Trump announced it was tapping in February — $3.6 billion intended for military construction projects, which required Trump to invoke a national emergency, and $600 million from the Treasury Forfeiture Fund — remains under litigation." I see no reason now to block the remaining requested funds.
I'm wondering if the Lefties will just run to some 0bama/Xlinton judge, maybe on the Ninth Circus, and try to overturn this yet again, at least until Monday. I think half the judges on the Ninth are now Trump-appointed. So that court is getting its wings clipped as Trump replaces those judges. At some point, these activist judges are going to try to defy the Supreme Court entirely, even after they have ruled on a case.
I think that tactic only works before the USSC rules. I agree with Trump -- a District Court's ruling should not go beyond the District. This bullshit of shopping for a federal judge and having their ruling apply to the entire U.S. has gotta stop.
I think Republican judges ought to start doing the same. Make it clear what a total farce this is. The libs would suddenly notice that district judges who are nothing but partisan hacks really should not behave as unelected dictators. Only the Supremes should issue a nationwide injunction. And only with great caution. Recall Dred Scott.
