Washington will sue if Trump raids military construction projects for border wall

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Washington will sue the Trump administration, and not even wait a New York minute, if military construction projects in this state are raided to build the border wall under the president's declaration of emergency.

"Our complaint is drafted and ready to file," Attorney General Bob Ferguson and Gov. Jay Inslee said in a statement.

"We remain adamant that Washington State will not help subsidize President Trump's unlawful and unconstitutional 'emergency' declaration to build his wall."

Acting U.S. Secretary of Defense Patrick Shanahan on Monday listed nearly 400 military construction projects, totaling about $12.9 billion, which could be raided to supply money for the wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.

The targets range from the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in New England to the big Marine base at Camp Pendleton, California.

1. Do they have legal grounds to do that? Because that would be great

If every blue state sued, Trump would have to take money from red states, which would make this even less popular.
