BREAKING: Texas Judge rules against Trump on his border wall

EL PASO, TX - Today, a Texas federal court ruled that President Trump’s proclamation of a national emergency along the Southern border violated federal law. The court declared that the president’s proclamation is invalid because it illegally sought to override Congress’s decision to not fund further border wall construction. The court invited the plaintiffs, El Paso County, Texas, and the Border Network for Human Right to propose terms for an injunction that would prevent the government from using funds to build border barriers that Congress specifically refused to authorize.

This lawsuit, which is unrelated to one brought in California challenging the president’s shuffling of Department of Defense funding streams to pay for his border wall, was brought on behalf of El Paso County, Texas, and the Border Network for Human Rights—an El Paso-based nonprofit dedicated to ensuring the participation of marginalized border communities and defending human and civil rights.

Not a good day in court for the orange guy ...

7. Because he thinks he is a tv star his new show could be named

"Trump is the New Orange."

9. I'd rather see him in a military prison....

ex cic, he should be held in a military prison in khaki greens, hard labor, no visitors, and no food he likes.

15. Mar-A-Gitmo

and nothing to eat but salads.

So he can live a long, long life in a shipping container.

19. Prisoner exchange with Mexico would be good. We took El Chapo and

placed him in Supermax in Colorado. Mexico should take El Trumpo.

[getagrip_already]

21. they would treat him too well.......

He could probably buy a lot of luxuries an a mexican jail. No luxuries, no heat or a/c, cramped baron quarters, no tv or radio or newspapers. Nothing but a meal a day.

And that's better than he is treating children in detention.

16. Is he sick of winning yet?

Just today:

1. DC Court of Appeals rejected his appeal about his tax release.
2. A federal judge blocked Trump's emergency border wall declaration.
3. A court blocked Trump's rule limiting visas and green cards.

5. another parapgraph from OP link - an excellent read in total

This case is also notable for the cross-ideological legal team behind it, and where it was filed. The legal team includes not only Protect Democracy, but also the Niskanen Center, a center-right policy think tank; former Acting U.S. Attorney General Stuart Gerson, a top aide to President George H.W. Bush and founding member of the conservative nonprofit Checks and Balances; Harvard Law Professor Laurence Tribe, one of the nation’s leading constitutional law experts who represented Al Gore in Bush v. Gore; and the law firms Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP and O’Melveny & Myers LLP.

So good to know that people that care about the "LAW" are involved. Too bad we don't have people in Congress that care the same way...........
