Petebeluga Money over environment is bad! Politics over enviroment is just Evil!

Praised be

Why is the gov’t allowed to this to build a wall? Destroy the environment migratory paths of the wildlife, to build a wall? To build a wall that will accomplish NOTHING!

This is wrong, very wrong. Judges appt'd by trump?

LISTEN TO OUR BORDER SECURITY MEN AND WOMEN AND BUILD THAT WALL!!!! WALKAWAY VOTEDEMOUT MAGA202

The most liberal court in the land ruled for Trump... enough said

Brace yourself. The wall is coming!

Lying Dem communists working overtime to come up with worthless crap like enviroment, you have to be stupid not to see is not about the enviroment cause the wall doesn't have any thing with the enviroment. What's going to do stop the rain? letting drus and human traffic is bad.

Woo hoo!!

This is obscene.

Now we are talking!! More likely to be killed or assaulted by an illegal immigrant than dying of climate change in the next million years!

What court? Come on. Say it. I know you want to. It’s not hard. That’s right the 9th Circuit. There that was easy.

This is where we are. Catastrophic. Embarrassing to us as a country

Stupid.

When does common sense, decency and fairness prevail over evil?

Two on the left are straight out of the dystopia central-casting. Why do people like that wear body armor?

I am not happy with that prospect.

The small, concentrated area required to build a barrier to protect a species of humans in a sovereign nation is exactly the exception to the rule we should all understand.

That awful orange man just keeps winning.

If I recall, only Congress can bypass those rules, not the Executive branch. The rules were put in place by Congress, and hence they can only be bypassed by congress. I don't think the authorization for the border wall has an exemption to environmental rules.

Nope

I could not be more disgusted by this rancid administration.

Crazy libs 🤣👇

🤦‍♀️

Timne to get Federal judges out of a job

But they still need to meet the land owners in court which could take years to square away.

Great. Finally take care of buziness.

Courts are helping Trump & his corrupt administration I can’t wait till this bastard is out of office

This photo looks like something straight outta HungerGames

People should actually read what the CenterForBioDiv has said about this. It is devastating for the environment and native wildlife, including disrupting migration patterns and cutting through vulnerable ecosystems. We just disregard the very earth we depend on.

I see, yet another regulation conveniently eliminated so that Trumps paranoia can be fulfilled. What’s even more disturbing is that folks in Trumps orbit are letting him get away with it. Another assault on our environment. Mother Nature’s watching.

I would love to understand how destroying the environment makes us safer.

The good news is that wall will come right down as soon as trump is gone.

One more reason more wall is a terrible idea!!

Excellent! Get on with it! Build the wall!

They look like they're in a district from The Hunger Games.

morgfair Crap

Will be tied up in court forever.

Our government has proven time, and time again, that our environment means nothing to them. It's time for a new government.

We've already screwed up the environment, so sure, why not screw it up some more with Donnie's stupid vanity wall that is nothing but a waste of taxpayers money.

Based on old laws from at least 20 years ago, which were once timely but are no longer applicable.

the 9th circuit too. I'll bet that hurts.

Gross

Because 400,000+ unvetted people entering the country illegally every year is actually a legitimate security concern for the Commander in Chief?

Oh good. Because the stain I. Our nation's honor wasn't enough. Now it will also be a literal stain on our nation.

That defies all logic.

Supreme Court blocks Louisiana abortion law, 1st major ruling on abortion with Kavanaugh on courtThe ruling blocks Louisiana from enforcing a law that women's groups said would leave only a single doctor legally allowed to perform abortions in the state. Chief Justice Roberts joined the court’s 4 liberals in putting a hold on the law, pending a full review of the case. The 4 other conservative justices would have allowed it to take effect. Kavanaugh wrote a dissent explaining his vote. It’s amazing how these pro lifers have a higher pay grade then Jesus. Maybe they should look at the sin their lives. In the Bible a sin is a sin whether you murder,have affair,lie, don’t pay your taxes,sexual harassment and no one is protesting against your sins.
