Supreme Court Rules 5-4 To Resume Border Wall Construction

The video discusses the legal proceedings surrounding the construction of the US-Mexico border wall. Initially, the Supreme Court allowed the continuation of the wall's construction using funds diverted from the Defense Department. However, a federal appeals court later halted the project, ruling that the Trump administration had improperly used Pentagon funds. Justice Stephen Breyer, dissenting with the liberal justices, argued for suspending construction until legal issues were resolved. The Supreme Court had previously ruled in favor of using emergency funds, but it is unlikely to revisit the case before the 2020 election.
