Border-Wall Construction Can Continue, Supreme Court Says
[WSJ] The decision means that segments of the president’s signature project likely will be completed before litigation is resolved.

The Supreme Court declined, 5-4, Friday to halt work on the border wall the Trump administration has been building without authorization from Congress, likely ensuring that more than 200 miles of the president’s signature project will be completed before litigation over its legality is resolved.

Lower courts had found that President Trump exceeded his powers by declaring a national emergency and reallocating to the border-wall project $2.5 billion lawmakers had budgeted for other purposes.
