I guess the SCOTUS is in on it too.  The Dems gonna investigate the court next?  

Anyway, FINALLY.  At least the Supremes aren't total hacks.  Lemme guess, 5-4?

McAleenan said there were still “several procedural steps” required in both countries to ratify the deal and put it into effect, which he said he expected would occur in coming weeks.

The Wall is undefeated...

Oh, wait, the other wall. Oops!

I think the Five voted that there was no standing for the case, so the actual decision itself is not a precedent.

As is the usual practice with stay rulings, the majority issued very little in the way of an explanation. But it did indicate that "[a]mong the reasons is that the Government has made a sufficient showing at this stage that the plaintiffs have no cause of action to obtain review of the Acting Secretary's compliance with Section 8005 [of the the 2019 Department of Defense Appropriations Act]."

In other words, this seems to be a purely a procedural ruling suggesting that the majority justices think the plaintiffs in the case—the Sierra Club and the Southern Border Community Coalition an alliance of various liberal/progressive groups in the border area—lacked the procedural right to challenge the diversion of funds. The Court may be referring here to Judge N. Randy Smith's argument in his dissent in the Ninth Circuit ruling on this issue, where he argued that only plaintiffs with "economic interests" at stake are legally permitted to challenge the funding diversion. In my view, Judge Smith's distinction between "economic" and "recreational" interests in dubious. The Court should have simply denied the stay, or at least adopted Justice Breyer's approach.

But if Smith's analysis is indeed the basis for the majority justices' ruling, it is notable that it does not address the underlying merits of the legality of Trump's plan to divert the funds. And, if the Supreme Court ultimately reverses the Ninth Circuit on this basis, the legal battle over the wall will be far from over.

So, the legal battle will continue, this is not a clear cut final win.

Oh, come on.  You really don't think the democrats will give up now?

The politics of this could get interesting. One the one hand, Trump is "depriving the military of needed funds to protect out nation to build some medieval wall".

On the other hand .... Democrats don't seem to want any kind of border barrier.

Beto said he'd tear down existing barriers and nobody on the left batted an eye but, no, they don't support open borders, wink, wink.

[cincydawg]

Beto is a bit disappointing. And a dope.
