Judge dismisses Dem lawsuit against Trump on border wall (https://news.yahoo.com/u-judge-denies-democrats-suit-012109670.html)

This judge found the plaintiffs' complaint to be a political issue- not a legal issue. That is how I said it would go. I do realize another judge disagreed in another case- but the plaintiffs in that case were not Congress.


A U.S. federal judge on Monday rejected a lawsuit by Democrats in the House of Representatives that sought to block President Donald Trump's plan to divert funds to help build a border wall.

District Court Judge Trevor McFadden of the District of Columbia ruled that the House lacked legal standing to sue Trump for using money to build a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border that was appropriated by Congress for other purposes.


"While the Constitution bestows upon Members of the House many powers, it does not grant them standing to hale the Executive Branch into court claiming a dilution of Congress's legislative authority. The Court therefore lacks jurisdiction to hear the House’s claims and will deny its motion," McFadden wrote.
