Federal judge blocks billions in Pentagon funding from paying for border wall

A federal judge has blocked President Trump from diverting Pentagon funds from various military projects toward building a wall on the United States's southern border.

Judge David Briones of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas issued the block in response to a lawsuit by El Paso County, Texas, and the Border Network for Human Rights.

"The President's emergency proclamation was a blatant attempt to grab power from Congress. Today's order affirms that the President is not a king and that our courts are willing to check him when he oversteps his bounds," Kristy Parker, an attorney for the litigants, said in a statement.

Here we go again. Can you just imagine for a moment what it will be like if Democrats win 2020. Vote Trump people please - even if you don't like him - look at the alternative. Must register to vote.

When you sign your name and make an agreement , at least in my world , that is what you do . When the House, Senate and Trump make an agreement, in this case the Military budget that Trump is poaching, should you not honor your agreement? That is what is at stake her

I would conduct an investigation of that federal judge and see where his money is coming from and what his rulings have been since the Obama administration.

What's more important to our national security?

1. A border wall to stem a tide of illegal immigrants?
2. Military funding for Ukraine?

Democrats in congress must be convinced it's the latter. Voters need to use a little common sense to put an end to this madness

I agree with enhancing the border . What I do not agree with is breaking a signed agreement . Is that too much to swallow ?

I don't think a judge has the authority to make that decision.

Hang them, too.
