WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday rebuffed a challenge by three conservation groups to the authority of President Donald Trump’s administration to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, a victory for Trump who has made the wall a centerpiece of his hardline immigration policies.

The justices’ declined to hear the groups’ appeal of a ruling by a federal judge in California rejecting their claims that the administration had pursued border wall projects without complying with applicable environmental laws. The groups are the Center for Biological Diversity, the Animal Legal Defense Fund and Defenders of Wildlife.

Their lawsuits said construction operations would harm plants, rare wildlife habitats, threatened coastal birds like the snowy plover and California gnatcatcher, and other species such as fairy shrimp and the Quino checkerspot butterfly.

Good.

Good.

And I pray that Trump nominates a Fire and Brimstone "This, is what the Constitution says, and Means, word for word, letter for letter. It is a Written Document which makes it NOT susceptible to those words Changing their Meaning, only earlier Courts getting it wrong", . . . . Originalist, . . . to replace Ginsberg.

Uh, folks, this wasn’t about whether the wall could be built at all; this was only about whether certain environmental rules had been complied with or not.

The same result would have applied if Trump had planned to build welcome centers on the border inviting illegals in.

The democrat-communists will SCREAM, as will the media.
Do it anyway, rub it in their faces and laugh into the cameras while doing so.
(I imagine you can guess I care not a whit for the "optics")

I sense that Amy Coney Barrett will be "the pick".

Except these politically motivated groups would never have filed suits if they were Welcome Centers.
