ACLU will sue to block Trump's 'illegal power grab' on border security

The American Civil Liberties Union said Friday it will sue the Trump administration next week over its decision to declare a national emergency to fund hundreds of miles of border wall between the U.S. and Mexico.

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) announced hours after President Trump's remarks in the White House Rose Garden Friday morning that it is drafting a challenge.

“By the president’s very own admission in the Rose Garden, there is no national emergency. He just grew impatient and frustrated with Congress, and decided to move along his promise for a border wall ‘faster,'" ACLU Executive Director Anthony Romero said in a statement. "This is a patently illegal power grab that hurts American communities and flouts the checks and balances that are hallmarks of our democracy."

"We will be filing a lawsuit early next week," the group added. "As the country’s premier defender of civil liberties and civil rights, the ACLU will always fight to ensure a robust system of checks and balances on the power of the executive, which is critical to safeguarding our democracy and defending rights.”

The Dems and their surrogates will ultimately get a judge to attempt to usurp Executive power that will be ignored by the President.

This is what the libs want - for federal courts to rule to stop him and he ignores it, which they will claim is a 'Constitutional Crisis'.

God forbid we demand a President respect the process that was setup in the Constitution. The horror.

Interesting. I wonder what standing they think they have? Just because they're the ACLU?

@Free Vulcan If I had to make an educated guess...they're going to say the wall violates the civil rights of people trying to come to this country.
