There's A Full-Fledged Fight Over The Wall Going On In The Supreme Court

The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court to stay a lower court order blocking reallocation of Pentagon funds for the border wall July 12.

Environmental groups and House Democrats urged the Supreme Court not to disturb a lower court order blocking the reallocation of military funds for border wall projects.

The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court to put that ruling on hold while litigation continues July 12.

"If a stay is granted and wall construction begins, there will be no turning back," the green groups told the justices in court papers.

The government filed a stay application with the Supreme Court on July 12.

If the justices grant the administration's request, the government can begin construction on several border wall projects the courts may never be able to undo.

Finally, the plaintiffs note that nine days elapsed between the 9th Circuit's ruling and the filing of the government's stay application at the Supreme Court.
