The Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal from environmental groups in an attempt to block the border wall. The Washington Examiner reports:
The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday rejected a request from a trio of conservation and environmental groups seeking to block construction of President Trump’s wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.
The justices declined to consider the groups’ appeal of a lower court ruling that paved the way for the federal government to begin replacing border fencing in two locations and building wall prototypes.
The judge, U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel, rejected the groups’ challenge to a 1996 federal law that gives the government the power to waive environmental laws to more quickly begin work on a wall. The Department of Homeland Security sought to sidestep the laws as it pursued the projects related to construction of the border wall.
The conservation groups said the 1996 law violated the Constitution because of the power it granted the federal government.
This is particularly ironic, considering Curiel was also involved in the Trump University lawsuit criticized by the President.
Sorry, but we need the Entire Southern Border Protected with a Concrete Wall 15 or 20 feet tall. With Razer Constiteana Wier across the top to keep these Cockroaches out of The United States Of America.
Build the wall!!!! It is needed and is necessary to provide security and safety for the American people!!!!!
It’s nice to see fair judicial decisions.
Judge shopping seems to be the left’s main objective these days. What should be important is “HOW” can this Administration shut down these leftist judges when they attempt to legislate from the bench. There must be some set of rules that does not allow them to do this, and if so, why are they not being pursued?
I can’t see how just one judge can order the President of the United States to halt any form of protections for the citizens of this country and get away with it. Why have a President for that matter. Not sure but I bet there “IS” some set of actual rules that can shut down both judge shopping and biased judge rulings so that this President can do his job as he was hired to do. Protect the citizens of the USA, first and foremost, is his primary duty, PERIOD!
You are sooooooo right, Mr Johnson. God bless you for what you said. THEY accuse President Trump of being unconstitutional, but it is THEY who are being unconstitutional by not obeying our Constitution by being loyal to aliens and not our citizens and not obeying our Constitution as they disobey their oath of office to obey, defend and protect our Constitution, our country and OUR citizens.
Putting illegal aliens, muslims and all who hate our country above us and our country is unconstitutional, especially when they put us into great danger from their diseases, from their crimes, from their alien culture, and taking our sovereignty, and from their schemes to take our country from us.
These liberal communist judges are part of that scheme, and anyone with just ONE brain cell can figure it out as they demand we give them what they want and demand our money, demand healthcare, and think they have rights when they don’t have a single right because they are not citizens. They are criminals the second their big toe crosses our border and they demand we give them anything they want as the paychecks that the liberals give them they send it to their families. That forces OUR citizens to keep up the world at OUR expense, taking food out of our families mouths, but that makes no difference to the illegal aliens, because the demonRATs don’t care about OUR families. All that matters to them is their future votes.
The courts need to protect Americans and build the wall
You are so right, but don’t hold your breath, as long as their is one liberal communist in our government, we are in danger of losing our sovereignty. The communist muslim demonRAT party Mafia mob are evil, they sold their souls to the devil, are working for the devil.
No citizen in their right mind would hand over their nation to aliens. If you notice, all of the bad nations have very strict borders, they are all huge border enforcers they treat them as invaders, some are shot on the spot or thrown into prison, chained to a post, and either starved, or fed stale bread and water. And, they have the audacity to demand we let them invade our nation with their diseases and their own criminal culture to put our citizens in grave danger.
Our country is going backwards into an uncivilized nation as these uncivilized country’s and their uncivilized cultures are flooding us with their paganism that is changing our civilized nation into not just one alien culture, but into many cultures that will soon battle it out to see which alien culture, IN OUR ONCE PEACEFUL CHRISTIAN CULTURE, will be the winner. We are looking more and more like the pagan muslim culture that Hussein Obama invaded our land with. They have told us many, many times that they will rule the world and put their flag on the roof of our White House.
Wake up America, Sharia law is coming and the demonRAT Mafia mobs will make that happen sooner than later. They are our biggest enemy, because they are the enemy within.
Travis, as long as there is just ONE communist demonRAT in office, or any liberal demonRAT judges who rule from their bench, who takes the power away from the president, making himself, or herself, more powerful than the duly elected president, you will see this happening. The Supreme Court needs to get a back bone and stop these unconstitutional judges and do it NOW. These judges were not put in office to rule from their benches, it is NOT their jurisdiction to do that, and every time they make rules and laws from their bench, it is setting a precedence for their unlawfulness and unconstitutional acts.
They are the ones who need to be stopped as they put our citizens in danger from their irresponsible liberal agenda. They put illegal aliens and globalism over our citizens and our sovereignty. This is unspeakable treason.
