This evening’s Supreme Court ruling allowing @realDonaldTrump to steal military funds to spend on a wasteful, ineffective border wall rejected by Congress is deeply flawed. Our Founders designed a democracy governed by the people — not a monarchy.

Ahem...



Supreme Court gives Trump go-ahead on border wall

The Justice Department had asked the justices to stay a pair of rulings an Oakland-based federal judge issued in May and June blocking Trump’s plan to use about $2.5 billion in unspent military funds for wall projects in California, Arizona and New Mexico.

All the Republican-appointed justices voted in favor of allowing Trump to proceed with that aspect of his plan while litigation over the issue continues. All the Democratic-appointed justices dissented, except for Justice Stephen Breyer who said he would have allowed the contracting process to move forward but blocked actual construction.

Yet another example of the growing democratic deficit in the West

2. Russian Repug SCOTUS came through for their master PUtin and his tool drumpf.

They had to ensure the purchase of billions of dollars of (defective?) Russian Deripaska steel, PUtin demanded it to keep up his protection racket.

3. Trump won a victory, yes,

but he won because the court said the plaintiffs didn't have standing. This decision isn't over by a long shot.

Hey, when a Democrat wins in 2020 she can take billions of dollars from the pentagon and put it to good use like into renewable energy. Thank you SC.

4. The house is going to have to start noting what the funding Can NOT be used on

Specifically identifying funding can NOT be used on a stupid ass medieval wall.

Then the biased and corrupt Supremes can't get it wrong.

But basically the crooks and rapists on the Supremes decided that the Sierra Club and Southern Border Communities Coalition do not have standing. Why didn't the House file a claim?

"The statement suggested that the five justices in the majority agreed with the Trump administration’s arguments that the groups who obtained the injunction, the Sierra Club and the Southern Border Communities Coalition, lacked a valid legal mechanism to enforce the budget rider."
