He could build the wall, over the wackos\u2019 objections, and despite the California gnatcatcher.<\/p>\n<p>This week the Supreme Court weighed in by refusing to hear the case. Meaning, the Appeals Court decision siding with President Trump stands.<\/p>\n<p>Now the only thing standing in the way of the wall is the money, the funding. And that problem could be rectified immediately, if Republican gnatcatchers in Congress wanted it to happen. That\u2019s really what this is about, so keep a sharp eye.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Last year, the Center for Biological Diversity, the Animal League Defense Fund, and the Defenders of Wildlife joined forces to oppose the border wall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":56,"featured_media":270056,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.6 -
