House Democrats' Lawsuit Over Trump's Border Security Agenda Hits A Different Wall: The Judge

To help with enforcement, you all know about President Trump's border wall, which had yet to be built.

Trump has tried to allocate other monies in the defense budget to build the wall, which caused Democrats to have a conniption fit.

A U.S. House of Representatives attempt to block President Donald Trump from spending about $6.1 billion on a southern border wall ran into what could be a major obstacle of its own Thursday - a skeptical federal judge.

The judge - a 2017 Trump nominee - had reservations, opining at the outset about an apparent lack of legal precedent and whether courts are the right forum for resolving disputes between the executive and legislative branches.

McFadden asked House lawyer Douglas Letter whether his clients had exhausted all other avenues for resolving its dispute with the Trump administration.

The standoff over the funding, which began in December, resulted in a record 35-day partial shutdown of the federal government, after which both houses of Congress appropriated just $1.4 billion for Trump's long-sought barrier.

This is all part of the House Democrats strategy of all-out war against the Trump administration.
