US-Mexico Wall: Trump Again Dares Courts To Stop Him

Spread the love

The legal confrontation over Donald Trump’s immigration national emergency is becoming the most important test yet of his vision of an unfettered presidency immune to norms that check executive power.

 

The President hit back Tuesday after 16 states filed a lawsuit to stop his declaration aimed at redirecting funds already allocated by Congress for different purposes to build his border wall.

 

The structure was the ideological anchor of his campaigns, rooted in claims that an “invasion” of undocumented migrants and criminals is swamping America.

 

“As I predicted, 16 states, led mostly by Open Border Democrats and the Radical Left, have filed a lawsuit in, of course, the 9th Circuit! California, the state that has wasted billions of dollars on their out of control Fast Train, with no hope of completion, seems in charge!” Trump tweeted.

 

The new legal fight has revived questions about Trump’s expansive view of his own power and his frequent attempts to evade legal, political and constitutional restraints on his actions that add up to a more untethered notion of the presidency than most of his modern predecessors.
