Democrat activist groups are once again suing the Trump administration for moving more funds from Defense to the building of the Wall:
THE HILL – Three groups are suing the Trump administration over a plan to allocate an additional $3.8 billion in Department of Defense (DOD) funding for the border wall.
“The president is doubling down on his unlawful scheme to raid taxpayer funds for a xenophobic campaign promise that is destroying national treasures, harming the environment, and desecrating tribal lands,” said Dror Ladin, an attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).
The ACLU, along with the Sierra Club and Southern Border Communities Coalition, filed the suit in federal court in California on Friday.
DOD notified Congress this month that it would transfer an additional $3.8 billion to be used for the wall.
The notice to Congress said that the money would come from weapons programs like the F-35 fighter jet and would go toward the “support of higher priority items.”
I know you are thinking you are not surprised by this – nor should you be.
But what makes this so absurd is that the Supreme Court has already ruled against some of these same groups that Trump CAN used reprogrammed money from the Pentagon for the wall.
But as David Horowitz points out, federal judges will still ignore this and issue injunctions anyway:
They literally won twice at scotus but this will not stop a third and 4th injunction. Again, once you believe that ANY judge, no matter the issue, no matter the standing, no matter the consequences, can veto public policy, there is no end, even AFTER scotus said the opposite. https://t.co/1m1QIL5i6W

I might as well go ahead and write an article now saying that the Supreme Court has overturned a lower court injunction, allowing Trump to use these funds for the border. I’ll look like I’m clairvoyant!
