Today, Protect Democracy & co-counsel responded to the Trump admin’s opposition to our request for an injunction to permanently block @POTUS’s national emergency declaration to build a #BorderWall. protectdemocracy.org/resource-libra… @NiskanenCenter @tribelaw
The Trump admin argues that the President can override Congress’s constitutional power of the purse, redirecting funds for border wall construction that were not appropriated by Congress. That’s not true. President Trump’s actions violate our system of #ChecksAndBalances.
The Trump admin also argues that the President’s national emergency declaration can’t be challenged in court. This is absurd. The President is #NotAKing. When his actions violate the Constitution, he can and should be held accountable.
