House Dems to sue to block Trump's border wall
Politico, Apr 4, 2019

Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced Thursday that the House will file a lawsuit to challenge President Donald Trump's emergency declaration on the southern border, dramatically escalating a clash over wall funding.

"The House will once again defend our Democracy and our Constitution, this time in the courts," Pelosi wrote in a statement.

The House will take the rare legal step against the White House after unsuccessfully attempting to block the effort via legislation.

Good. Let's duke it out and settle it one way or another.

The courts should throw this out based on this alone ...

A perfect storm brewing to ignore a court as any ruling by it to restrict Executive actions as unconstitutional will be an unconstitutional ruling itself
