SCOTUS Forces Taxpayers To Pay For The Border Wall!

The Supreme Court gave Trump and future presidents the authority to allocate funds for phony emergencies.
Promise broken, who cares!

The imbecile promised Mexico would pay for the wall. Looks like the American taxpayer will foot the bill.

The Supreme Court of the United States gave bigot Donald J. Trump and future presidents an opportunity to use federal funding to advert a crisis.

The Court's 5-4 decision to lift the freeze on money Trump wanted for his border wall.


The Court's action reverse the decision of the lower courts. It initially froze the funds in May, and an appeals court, which kept that freeze in place earlier this month. The Associated Press reported that the freeze prevented the government from tapping approximately $2.5 billion in the Defense Department money to replace existing sections of barrier in Arizona, California and New Mexico with more robust fencing.

The case the Supreme Court ruled in began after the 35-day partial government shutdown that started in December of last year. Trump ended the shutdown in February after Congress gave him nearly $1.4 billion in border wall funding. The amount that Trump wanted was less than what he wanted.
Trump can use taxpayer money for his border wall.
He then declared a national emergency to take cash from other governments to use for construction of the wall.

The ACLU and the Sierra Club teamed with the Southern Border Communities Coalition to sue the Trump team for unlawful use of money.

The Democrats slammed the decision. They said that it sets a precedent.

If a Democrat does win the presidential election, they would be able to declare a national emergency for issues conservatives will certainly challenge.

The Court heads to break for the Summer and will return in mid-September.
