SCHUMER SHOWDOWN: Chuck Warns of 'YEARS' OF LAWSUITS Over Border Wall

posted by Hannity Staff - 3.28.18

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer publicly threatened to challenge the Trump administration in court this week, saying the White House would face “years” of lawsuits should President Trump push to have the U.S. military partially fund his signature campaign promise: The border wall.

According to the Washington Post, the President is is considering pursuing other sources of funding for the border wall following last week’s omnibus spending bill, which failed to fund the physical barrier and find a permanent solution for DACA-recipients.

Schumer immediately threw cold-water on the Commander-in-Chief’s attempt to sideline the Congressional stalemate, saying any attempt to bypass the Senate would be “tied up in court for years.”

“First Mexico was supposed to pay for it, then U.S. taxpayers, and now our men and women in uniform?” said the Democratic leader. “This would be a blatant misuse of military funds and tied up in court for years. Secretary Mattis ought not bother and instead use the money to help our troops, rather than advance the president’s political fantasies.”

The President pushed-back against “obstructionist” Democratic lawmakers shortly after signing the $1.3 trillion spending package; saying the liberal legislators have “totally abandoned” the nation’s ‘Dreamers.’

CALIFORNIA CHAOS: Federal Judge SIDES WITH TRUMP on Border Wall Construction

President Trump’s proposed border wall with Mexico got one step closer to construction this week, with a federal judge ruling against environmental activists and the state of California who challenged the physical barrier; claiming the “wall” would severely harm the region’s ecosystem.

US District Court Judge Gonzalo Curiel ruled in favor of the Trump administration; swiping down a case that claimed a “border wall” would seriously violate existing environmental protection laws.

The President hailed the court’s decision on social media Wednesday morning, writing “I have decided that sections of the Wall that California wants built NOW will not be built until the whole Wall is approved. Big victory yesterday with ruling from the courts that allows us to proceed. OUR COUNTRY MUST HAVE BORDER SECURITY!”

California Attorney General Xavier Becerra slammed the court’s ruling, accusing the Trump administration of committing “federal overreach.”

“A medieval wall along the U.S.-Mexico border simply does not belong in the 21st century,” Becerra said.

President Donald Trump touched-down in the ‘Sanctuary State’ of California Tuesday; touring his border wall and meeting with members of law enforcement as the region continues to spiral out of control after months of unprecedented homelessness and a spike in crime.

The President spoke with reporters while inspecting the varying prototypes of his proposed border wall with Mexico; saying California officials were secretly “begging” him to build the barrier.

“The state of California is begging us to build walls in certain areas, they don’t tell you that. We said, ‘No, we won’t do it until we build the whole wall.’ There are certain areas where they’re really wanting us to build a wall,” Trump told the crowd. “People are complaining, because people are pouring in. They don’t talk about that.”

“You have to have see-through, you have to know what’s on the other side of the wall,” he said when asked if he preferred one specific prototype. “If you don’t know what’s on the other side of the wall, you could be two-feet away from a criminal cartel and you won’t even know they’re there.”
