You have talked in circles trying to always end up at Orange Guy Bad, using only your opinions and guesses. Did you think we were debating? You bring facts to a debate, not a bunch of what-ifs, opinions and guesses. Just build the damn wall, whatever it takes. That's what he's doing, while you, Kristol and Dems trash him for it. He's our only damn chance.

You have brought no facts to this discussion. The fact is, Trump failed to get funding for a border wall for two years while his party controlled both houses of Congress. It is also a fact that Trump made multiple empty threats to veto spending bills that contained no funding for a border wall during that same period.

Although it is possible that Democrats will pass a bill containing border wall funding and help improve Trump's re-election prospects for 2020, it is extremely unlikely.

There is a constitutional process that has been in place since 1787, by which spending bills originate and are approved in the House of Representatives and then sent to the Senate for approval, before being sent to the President, who signs them into law.

Getting the Supreme Court to give Trump approval to spend money because Congress has dealt him a political defeat will not be nearly as simple as you seem to think. The burden will be on Trump to convince the court that there is a real national emergency, and by failing to act for more than two years, it doesn't appear that Trump really believed that it was an emergency.

Whatever Trump planned to do to obtain funding for a border wall should have been done in 2017. He blew a golden opportunity to deal with an unpopular, Republican-controlled Congress. I don't think that the Supreme Court will bail him out. Time will tell. They may decide to let voters sort things out in 2020.
