Judge rejects House Democrats' attempt to block Trump use of military funds for border wall

[TheHill] Federal Judge Trevor McFadden has denied House Democrats' request to block President Donald Trump from transferring funds from appropriated accounts to build the border wall.

Judge Trevor McFadden, a Trump appointee, handed the president a needed victory after the White House suffered several losses in legal battles with Democrats in recent days.
By judges who are almost all Obammer appointees.
McFadden ruled that House Democrats cannot go to court to block Trump from using military funds to build the border wall "because the Constitution grants the House no standing to litigate these claims."

"Congress has several political arrows in its quiver to counter perceived threats to its sphere of power," he wrote. "These tools show that this lawsuit is not a last resort for the House."

Judge Haywood Gilliam, an Obama appointee, has ruled to partially stop the administration from tapping the Pentagon funding. The administration has said it will appeal his order.

#1 Haywood Gilliam Jr. issued the injunction and yes he was an Obummer appointee. Obummer was more interested in race and politicization of the judicial system than the rule of law. McFadden is a Trump appointee. Good decision based on law and separation of powers.

#2 One of the most important aspects of the Trump presidency is the in-progress remaking of the judiciary. This is a very heartening development.

#3 Yes, they seem to follow the rule of law rather than the cult of personality and party.
