-The U.S. Supreme Court has handed
President Donald Trump a victory by letting his administration redirect $2.5
billion in money approved by Congress to help build his promised wall along the
U.S.-Mexico border even though lawmakers refused to provide funding.
The Court on a 5-4 vote with the court’s liberals in dissent ,blocked in full a ruling by a federal judge in California barring the Republican president from spending the money on the basis that Congress did not specifically authorize the funds to be spent on the wall project fiercely opposed by Democrats and Mexico’s government.
The United States Supreme Court overturns lower court injunction, allows
Southern Border Wall to proceed. Big WIN for Border Security and the Rule of
Law!” Trump tweeted just minutes after the court acted.
A brief order explaining the
court’s decision said the government “made a sufficient showing” that the
groups challenging the decision did not have grounds to bring a lawsuit.
“Today’s decision to permit the
diversion of military funds for border wall construction will wall off and
destroy communities, public lands, and waters in California, New Mexico, and
Arizona,” said Gloria Smith, an attorney with environmental group the Sierra
Club, which sued to block the funds.
In a highly unusual move, Trump
on Feb. 15 declared a national emergency in a bid to fund the wall without
congressional approval, an action Democrats said exceeded his powers under the
U.S. Constitution and usurped the authority of Congress. The administration has
said it plans to redirect $6.7 billion from the Departments of Defense and
Treasury toward wall construction under the emergency declaration after failing
to convince Congress to provide the money, including the $2.5 billion in
Pentagon funding. Congress earlier failed to provide $5.7 billion in wall
funding demanded by Trump in a showdown in which the president triggered a
35-day partial shutdown of the federal government that ended in January.
