Fight over border fence environmental waivers could reach Supreme Court

The U.S. Supreme Court may get a chance to join the fractious debate over building fencing along the U.S.-Mexico border.

A legal challenge by two environmental groups seeking to limit enhanced Department of Homeland Security powers to suspend more than 30 laws to build the fence is gathering support in Congress.

But at least one constitutional expert said that although the legal challenge underscores the broad array of powers Congress has delegated to Homeland Security, "environmentalists face an uphill battle."

"There is a legitimate legal gripe here, in that there are serious questions about how much power Congress can delegate to other branches of government," said Jonathan Turley, a constitutional law authority at George Washington University Law School.

1. Another legal precedent of Old, Free Amerika about to be quashed by Nazi/Bushie "judges"
(criminals in robes pretending to be judges, at least half the Bushie Court is comprised of these villains)

That's the problem we have here in the Empire, the same one they had in Stalin's Russia, Nazi germany, Pinochet's Chile and anywhere else the principles of Bushevism in it's many forms and ancestor philosophies rule the land.

What to do when the very law is run by criminals, when the law enforcement agencies are lead by criminals who's orders nullify what few honest people are left in these agencies after the Bushie/Nazi/Commie purges?

When citizens bring conetntions to these criminal organizations, the first thought it to protect the Bushie Criminals (non-Bushie-Crminals can likely expect no such similar protections) and not a single though is given to law, precedent, or stare decsis.

It really is becoming as simple as that, if it isn't as simpel as that alreadyt.

In understand, on some level, the Democrats' reluctance to challenge the Bushies on their criminlity. They must know that everywhere a Bushie is challenged on theircriminality, a new criminal activity becomes "legal".

If Bushler murderer someone in broad daylight and went skipping down Pennsylvania Ave outside the Imperial Palace with the bloody severed head, a month later murder would be legal (for Bushies to commit, non-Bushie Murderes cannot expect to gain the benefit of the new legality).

Totalitarian Nations like Amerika are so predictable. Plus, any Bushie or Nazi can tell you it is the main duty of the legislature to hand it's power over to it' Bushie/Nazi Fuhrer.
