does the SCOTUS wall funding decision mean...........

That an "emergency" declaration to allocate funds requires NOTHING more than the President's declaring it is an emergency? Even if the president himself/herself says it is not an emergency?

No. It was purely a procedural ruling StarfishSaver Jul 2019 #3

It was not a ruling on the merits. The ruling is based on lack of standing of the plaintiffs to sue. Shrike47 Jul 2019 #4

The court allowed the work to continue while the case proceeds on its merits.

But it does suggest that the Court will eventually rule in Trump's favor.

Basically, the lower court issued a ruling that the work could not proceed during litigation. The SC said it could proceed because the defendants were likely to prevail on their lack of standing argument.
