If Obama had wanted a wall they would have been all for it. 

So this is the point I continually come back to. What is it that these people REALLY want? It cannot just be to have ‘their guy’ win. Everyone knows Joe Biden is wallpaper at best. So what’s the end game? I refuse to believe it’s actually Open Borders. That’s just a step to  a permanent Democratic majority. Is it socialized medicine? Really? Is it redistribution? Really?

They want what other people have but are not willing to work for it.

If the President is commander in chief and responsible for the US to be safe from foreign invaders, how in the world could a border wall be "illegal?"
 

Supreme Court denies request to halt construction of the border wall

A number of groups, including the ACLU and Sierra Club, had asked the high court to get involved
 

The Supreme Court by a 5-4 vote has denied a request to halt construction of President Trump’s border wall over environmental concerns.

A federal appeals court had ruled against the administration last month, but the justices, for now, have given another temporary victory to the administration.
 

"The fight continues,” said Dror Ladin, a staff attorney with the ACLU’s National Security Project. “Every lower court to consider the question has ruled President Trump's border wall illegal, and the Supreme Court’s temporary order does not decide the case. We’ll be back before the Supreme Court soon to put a stop to Trump’s xenophobic border wall once and for all.”
 

The four liberal justices dissented from Friday’s order.

The sad part is that 4 justices sided with the plaintiff. They attacked it on environmental grounds and are used to administrations like the Obama to give up (on purpose of course) once an activist court ruled against them. Team Trump keeps fighting.

Speaking of, did you buy KAG/MAGA swag with your government check today?  It is the first of the month.

And trampling the Constitution.  Did Congress authorize the disputed funds for the border wall?  (Hint: no!)

Because Congress didn't authorize the funds in question for the construction of a border wall.  Meaning that Trumpy trampled the Constitution to reappropriate the vast majority of those monies.  (Construction in the immediate vicinity of a military installation is authorized by law.)

I'd like an America of dignity, among other things.  I also am against a border wall in Colorado.

President Trump’s border wall construction will reach 300 miles at the end of this week, a top Army Corps of Engineers official said on Tuesday as he gave Mr. Trump a tour of the border region in Arizona.

 

New wall is going up at a rate of 10 miles a week.

 

...and while 300 are almost completed, another 300 are under construction. The remaining mileage is still in planning.

You mean the wall is not already complete? I thought this was going to be easy? Oh well, at least Mexico cut the check for it anyway.

Hoax.  It’s about the constitution.  And a wall isn’t the only way to protect the border.  You lose.

Your right of course, but they won't let me use claymore mines along it so the wall is all we have left. And don't hank my chain with that "virtual wall" crap.

Also, unlike you and Trump, I’m right about the constitution.  Which is the important point here.

Steve Bannon, three others charged with fraud in border wall fundraising campaign

 

Federal prosecutors on Thursday charged Steve Bannon, President Donald Trump's former campaign adviser, and three others with defrauding donors of hundreds of thousands of dollars in a border wall fundraising campaign.

 

Bannon has been arrested, according to a spokesman for the US attorney's office. Bannon's lawyer did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
