Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey is absolutely based. Back in March, we reported on how he announced he was filing suit against Media Matters for America, demanding documents "regarding their solicitation of donations to bully advertisers into pulling out of X." Just a few days later, he announced he was filing suit to stop President Joe Biden's unconstitutional vote-buying student loan cancellation plan.
On Tuesday, Bailey announced he'd won a court order forcing the Biden administration to use the money allocated to build a wall on the southern border to finish building the wall.
đšBREAKING: I obtained a court order forcing border czar @KamalaHarris and @JoeBiden to finish President Trumpâs border wall.

They decided NOT to appeal, making our win FINAL.
The rest of President Trumpâs border wall is going up because of this lawsuit.
On his first day in office, President Joe Biden issued an executive order diverting all funds away from building the wall.
Bailey issued a statement on his website:
Today, Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey obtained a court order forcing the Biden Administration to use congressionally appropriated funds to construct a barrier along the southern border.
âThe Biden Administration has failed to abide by the law to finish the construction of a wall along the southwest border,â said Attorney General Bailey. âJoe Biden refuses to carry out his constitutionally mandated responsibilities, so we took him to court to force him to do his job. This is a huge step forward in the fight to secure our border at a key moment in our nationâs history.â
In FY 2020, Congress passed a law explicitly requiring the President to construct barrier systems at the southern border to keep unauthorized individuals out of our country. The law provided $1.4 billion to build the border wall and explicitly stated the money âshall only be available for construction of barrier systems along the southwest border.â The Biden Administration refused to comply with Congressâ command.
So what happens now? Our guess is nothing. In saving democracy, the Biden administration tends to ignore court orders.
Congrats

Youâve done more than all the other red state AGâs combined. Where the hell are they in this fight?

Theyâll claim lack of manpower and funding. Itâs a paper win. We know they wonât even start the work.

They'll claim something to get out of it.
Does this mean they think Trump is going to win?
â Cari Kelemen (@KelemenCari) July 30, 2024
It sounds like Bailey thinks Trump is going to win.
I hope this is true but they donât abide by laws.

Keep up the good fight! But Iâll believe it when I see it
