Well, then we get to find out if Trump will honor the court's decision, and then if the GOP Congress will take him to task if he does not, and then if we still have a republic if they do not.

Trump border 'wall' to cost $21.6 billion, take 3.5 years to build: internal report

Quote:

President Donald Trump’s “wall” along the U.S.-Mexico border would be a series of fences and walls that would cost as much as $21.6 billion, and take more than three years to construct, based on a U.S. Department of Homeland Security internal report seen by Reuters on Thursday.

"wall"

LOL BMOL.

How salty are those tears?

If the SCOTUS is going to vote in favor 7-2 or 8-1, why the need to wait til after Gorsuch is confirmed? His vote won't matter right?

I want to hear every single detail you can muster about this. Every single one.

I'm most interested - though I'm acutely interested in all of it - in hearing why enforcement of the Constitution to invalidate an illegal executive order is, itself, a violation of the law?

EDIT: Also very interested in whether you've read the opinion yet? It would appear not.

I don't see him doing something like that because he can easily be impeached at that point. Obviously he wouldn't because of the GOP majority House and Senate, but they'd the motions would start

It also does not account for major physical barriers, like mountains, in areas where it would not be feasible to build.

Trump the biggest loser is presidential history. I haven't been so happy about a court ruling since the gay rights ruling.

Glad to see at least one of the checks and balances have guts since the congress is filled to the top with spineless cowards.

There is still the threat of that, but at this point, the republic still stands.
