Judge blocks construction of parts of border wall under emergency declaration
The order applies to around 51 miles of fence. The ACLU called it "a win for our system of checks and balances, the rule of law, and border communities."
A federal judge in California on Friday issued a preliminary injunction barring the government from “taking any action” to construct a border wall in two sectors using funds diverted from the Defense Department.
Congress's 'absolute' control over federal expenditures — even when that control may frustrate the desires of the Executive Branch regarding initiatives it views as important — is not a bug in our constitutional system. It is a feature of that system, and an essential one," U.S. District Judge Haywood S. Gilliam wrote in the ruling.
The ACLU was acting as legal counsel on behalf of the Sierra Club and a coalition of border communities that had sued the government to block the funding.
The ACLU said Gilliam's decision affected the first-announced projects, which the organization said "amounted to $1 billion diverted from military pay and pension accounts."
So THE SCAM MAN who ran the FAKE UNIVERSITY and the FAKE CHARITY, WHO also REFUSED to serve in the MILITARY, and got a FAKE REPORT saying that he had BONE SPURS, is now trying to TAKE MONEY AWAY from those who do serve.
