Supreme Court Rules Trump Can Use Pentagon Funds To Build The Wall

It is hard to overstate how much of a relief this is for Blompf who was looking at building ZERO miles of wall two and a half years into his presidency:

New York Times:

“WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Friday gave President Trump a victory in his fight for a wall along the Mexican border by allowing the administration to begin using $2.5 billion in Pentagon money for the construction.

In a 5-to-4 ruling, the court overturned an appellate decision and said that the administration could tap the money while litigation over the matter proceeds. But that will most likely take many months or longer, allowing Mr. Trump to move ahead before the case returns to the Supreme Court after further proceedings in the appeals court …”

He can at least build a token section of new fence now and run in 2020 on “finishing the job.” It’s better than nothing though.
