A federal judge in Washington denied a request by House Democrats to block President Trump from transferring funds from appropriated accounts to construct his wall
Judge Trevor McFadden said the House lacks standing to bring the challenge and also he does not believe the court should step into the fight between the President and Congress. "The Court declines to take sides in this fight between the House and the President," McFadden wrote."This case presents a close question about the appropriate role of the Judiciary in resolving disputes between the other two branches of the Federal Government.
"McFadden, a Trump appointee, held a nearly three-hour hearing on the matter last month. Earlier this year, the Democratic-led House joined several organizations in filing a lawsuit against the President's national emergency declaration. The lawsuit argues Trump's choice to move funds for the wall violated the Appropriations Clause of the Constitution, which gives Congress power over the designation of federal spending.
