Trump stands his ground.

Now it probably goes straight to the ninth circuit.

AG Bill Barr: Mr. President your declaration of an emergency on the southern border was clearly authorized under the law and consistent with past precedent… The humanitarian and security crisis that we currently have right now on the border is exactly the type of emergency that presidents are permitted to address.

Nope, back to the House where they have to muster 2/3rds to override.  Should that happen (not likely, based on passage numbers), then it's on to the Senate where  again, it needs 2/3rd to override (again not likely based on passage numbers)  Veto will be sustained.

And yes, it will end up in the USSC.   But Congress passed a law granting the president the authority, hard to argue against that...

Something tells me he was consulted before the emergency declaration was done.  =)

Sorry if this may be considered thread derailment but I got curious how many vetoes certain presidents had done and came across this
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_presidential_vetoes

Note FDR (635), and Cleveland (584 for both terms).
Truman and IKE are way up there too.

Demoralizing Propaganda from the deep state.

Ineffective barriers in higher traffic areas are being replaced by more effective walls.

No walls built where there weren’t already barriers is true technically. From what I’ve read walls are going up where there weren’t walls before.
