Can I get standing to sue our policy of disarming soldiers on military bases because it embarrasses our image as Americans and makes us look weak in the eyes of the world? Well, if Trump legitimizes a district judge's opinion granting a city government standing to sue the construction of border wall because of "Reputation" issues, then there is quite literally no political question a court can't decide, on any standing or none.
Yesterday, U.S. District Judge David Briones of El Paso, a Clinton appointee, ruled that Trump has no authority to reprogram $3.6 billion in military construction projects for border wall construction as part of his emergency declaration powers.
Even if the president indeed infringed upon Congress' power of the purse, since when did the judicial branch hold the power of the purse? How in the world can a federal judge grant standing to random plaintiffs to rule upon a national question dealing with defense funding?
How can a city government and a left-wing political group get standing to sue against transferring funds to our own national security?
So now a single district judge can grant standing to a city government to rule on a national policy affecting national security at an international border and then place an "Injunction" on all construction, even outside El Paso?
The reason the Supreme Court stayed the injunction is because, regardless of whether the president was correct in using the funding, courts have no power to grant standing to outside organizations to sue against a border wall.
The reasons why these groups do not have standing applied to the El Paso case as well.
