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.

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
