[Smokin' OP]

Didn't T**** do the same thing when he abused the laws to take funding from the military and bypass Congress in order to build it, too?

Using discretionary funds is not abusing the 'laws'.

Yes it is.

Clause 7. No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law; and a regular Statement and Account of the Receipts and Expenditures of all public Money shall be published from time to time.

APPROPRIATIONS
The restriction on drawing money from the Treasury “was intended as a restriction upon the disbursing authority of the Executive department,” and “means simply that no money can be paid out of the Treasury unless it has been appropriated by an act of Congress.”


The Pentagon — not Mexico — will again be paying for the construction of President Donald Trump’s wall on the US’s southern border, to the tune of $7.2 billion in 2020.

According to a Washington Post report, the White House will use last year’s national emergency declaration to pull $3.5 billion from military counter-drug enforcement, up significantly from the $2.5 billion taken from the same program in 2019. An additional $3.2 billion will be taken from Department of Defense construction projects for additional fencing projects. The number is more than five times the amount allocated to barrier construction by Congress for 2020.

That $$$ was appropriated by congress.

No, really?

Screw WaPo and Vox - show me the bills.

Hypocrite.

Didn't T**** do the same thing when he abused the laws to take funding from the military and bypass Congress in order to build it, too?

That move was within the POTUS powers of discretion--it was viewed as defense. This money has already been party to contract--the current WH squatter can't unilaterally cancel the contract, penalties.

There are no bills, it's in the constitution.

Article I, section 9, clause 7 of the U.S. Constitution states that "No money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law..." This is what gives Congress the power to make these appropriations.

The money had already been appropriated for the dept. of defense. It was determined that southern border security was homeland security. Biden is redirecting money that has already been allotted.

No, it wasn't, it was appropriated for military building construction .

Trump was the one redirecting DOD $$$, Biden just halted it, temporarily.

Dotard redirected DOD $$$from:

$1.8 billion – are to projects at overseas bases. The largest overseas reductions were $119 million for storage warehouses at Ramstein Air Force Base in Germany and $87 million for storage at Fairford Royal Air Force Base in the United Kingdom.

$1.1 billion in cuts for U.S. bases include $95 million for an engineering center at the U.S. Military Academy in New York state; nearly $88 million for a pier and maintenance facility in Bangor, Maine; and $85 million for a Reaper-drone operations facility at Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico.

An additional $687 million in projects were cut in U.S. territories, including 10 in Puerto Rico, eight in Guam and three in the Virgin Islands. The Puerto Rico projects include $80 million for a training-equipment site in Camp Santiago, $64 million for an aircraft hangar in San Juan and $61 million for a school replacement in Punta Borinquen.

You are 100% correct, he did redirect "defense" dollars to other "defense" projects--well within the purview of the POTUS. The border wall IS a "defense" project.

No, it isn't.
That $$$ was directly appropriated by congress for a specific purpose.
Congress passes a bill with specific projects in mind, otherwise there wouldn't be $$$ amounts in the bill.

Your ignorance knows no bounds. SCOTUS disagrees with you.

Your FOS, typical for RW's.

Really? Moron.

The only reason SCOTUS agreed is because the orange, vanity wall builder declared a national emergency.


The ruling late Friday from the appeals court in New Orleans overturns a decision by a judge in El Paso, Texas, who said Trump broke the law by declaring a national emergency to redirect military money to the wall project after Congress specifically refused to pay for it.

Trump didn't appropriate the money. He reassigned some that had already be appropriated. He did it with approval from the federal courts.

No, only redirected it.

English is not you best subject, I guess. Reassigned/redirected, symantics.

See post 134, moron.

Fuck you and your circular bullshit--you're cancelled.

OUCH! That hurt.........................NOT, retard.

 

[Smokin' OP]

T**** claimed it a defense issue, an emergency or disaster or something, and the court said he had the right to call it that because of that damned law passed during Clinton's term, but that law was not designed for the purpose T**** used it for, and HE DIDN'T GET APPROVAL FROM CONGRESS EITHER.

He had approval from the courts. He didn't need approval from Congress.

Not us that love communist and Russia.

Is that why you people elected a communist to be Mayor of New York City.

Not everyone agrees he should have declared a national emergency to do this.

Look at the border today and tell me it's not a national emergency...caused by the Biden Crime Family halting the wall construction and inviting the mass migration of criminals and possibly Covid-19 infected people into the US. Continuation of Trump's border policies would have prevented all this shit Biden has caused. And the dimwits in his administration don't even want it called a "crisis".

"Is that why you people elected a communist to be Mayor of New York City".
Never heard De Blasio defend Russia.
Never heard De Blasio defend N. Korea.
Never heard De Blasio defend China.
Never heard De Blasio praise Russia.
Never heard De Blasio praise N. Korea.
Never heard De Blasio praise China.

You're dear leader did.

Yeah, our dear leader as you refer to him, was praising their peaceable abstaining from any bad activities while he was president. Can't say the same for Biden, because the world is catching on fire again, and the left has him scared to speak one way or another about anything without raising it's eyebrows about it. Otherwise wise keep your mouth shut Joe, unless we write it down for you.

Then why didn't he say that?
Instead Trump agreed with them, more RW gaslighting.
