A federal judge in Texas Friday afternoon ruled that President Donald Trump acted beyond his legal authority earlier this year when he declared a “national emergency” in order to redirect U.S. military funds in order to pay for sections of the infamous “wall” along the U.S.-Mexico border.

According to The Hill:

Kristy Parker, an attorney with the legal nonprofit Protect Democracy who represented the plaintiffs, said the Briones ruling “vindicates the Founders’ wisdom and confirms that the president is not a king, and that he cannot override Congress’s power to decide how to appropriate funds.”

Democratic lawmakers opposed to Trump’s border wall policy celebrated the ruling.

“Trump circumvented Congress in an authoritarian power grab and stole military money to pay for his ridiculous vanity wall,” tweeted Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-Ariz.) in response to the news.  “I welcome this ruling and say once again: Not one penny will go to Trump’s racist wall.”
