U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden questioned, during a three-hour court hearing Thursday, the legitimacy of a lawsuit that challenges the White House’s funding of border wall construction without explicit permission from Congress, The Wall Street Journal reported.

McFadden said the question of whether the House has legal standing in this case "is a significant issue." Has the House "used all the tools at its disposal before rushing to court?" he said.

"There are other tools in your arsenal here, right?" McFadden asked.

The federal judge, a Trump appointee of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, said the judiciary should exercise prudence about wading into a fight between the two other branches of government.
