Meet Judge David Briones of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas - a Federal judge who is clearly not a big fan of border security or the results of the 2016 election.
On Wednesday Judge Briones blocked President Donald Trump's attempt to use Defense Department funds for the construction of the border wall.
Neither the Judge nor the plaintiff had a good excuse to stop the construction, but liberals are gonna do what liberals are gonna do.
District Court Judge David Briones, a Bill Clinton appointee, ruled in an El Paso court Tuesday that the money cannot be diverted to build 175 miles of steel barriers along the U.S.-Mexico border.
The El Paso County and Border Network for Human Rights sued the administration in October, claiming President Trump overstepped his authority when he issued a national emergency declaration to get additional funds for the wall -- his signature 2016 campaign promise.
Briones ruled in October to temporarily halt the president's plan to use the Pentagon funds. His Tuesday ruling only applies to the $3.6 billion, not other money available to the administration, including funds from counter-drug operations.
In September, Defense Secretary Mark Esper signed off on spending the $3.6 billion, provoking outcry from Democrats and immigration-rights advocates.
Kristy Parker, an attorney with the nonprofit group Protect Democracy who represented the plaintiffs, described Trump's declaration as a power grab.
A power grab?! He's trying to stop human trafficking and violence at the border. Why do liberals insist on making America less safe?
