Border wall lawsuit ruling appealed by House Democrats
The Democratic-controlled House of Representatives is appealing a federal judge's decision not to block President Donald Trump from funding a border wall.
Earlier this month, Judge Trevor McFadden said the House lacked standing to bring the challenge and that he did not believe the court should step into the fight between the President and Congress. The decision was a knock on the House, which has been opposed to the construction of Trump's border wall.
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. The House asked McFadden to block spending of money transferred for the wall in addition to future transfers.
The House appealed McFadden's ruling to the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
