Admittedly I am not a lawyer. But why does the ACLU, the State of California, Texas ranchers or anyone else have standing to sue in this matter. Seems to me that:
- The President has absolute authority to declare a National Emergency
- The President may or may not have authority to reallocate funds in furtherance of his agenda but it is up to Congress to take legislative action against it if they so choose. The people pursuing lawsuits in this matter have zero authority to sue to stop it.
- Ranchers who don’t want a section of wall built on their property can sue if that comes to pass and they can sue if it comes to the gov seizing their property by eminent domain, but what standing do they have to sue the President for declaring a National Emergency?
I’m getting quite disgusted about the continual battles among Congress, the Executive Branch and the Judicial branch over bullshit stuff. We elect these idiots to govern, not act like children.
