California Case: Liberties Union and Turf War

california case: The California case was filed by the American Civil Liberties Union on behalf of the Sierra Club and Southern Border Communities Coalition, according to CTV. U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden, a Trump appointee, wrote that the House's lawsuit was about whether one chamber of Congress has the 'constitutional means' to conscript the Judiciary in a political turf war with the President over the implementation of legislation. Trump's victory is muted by a federal ruling in California last month that blocked construction of key sections of the wall. McFadden said Congress didn't have authority in this case but that he didn't mean to imply the legislative body could never challenge the president in court over separation of powers.
