A federal appeals court decided that the Trump administration violated the law by using military money to build a wall at the southern border of Arizona, New Mexico, and California. A panel of the US 9th Circuit Court ofAppeals① said the power of the purse belongs to Congress, and the administration lacked the constitutional authority to transfer the military money toward the border project. Whether the rulings②will stand③is uncertain. The Supreme Court last year blocked a 9th Circuit injunction④that barred the administration from spending $2.5 billion of military money on the wall. The high court acted after the Trump administration filed an emergency appeal. Last Friday’s rulings reinstated⑤ that injunction. The 9th Circuit majority said last Friday that the law allows for⑥ the transfer of Pentagon funds only for unanticipated military purposes, and a border wall “was not an unforeseen military requirement.” (The Los Angeles Times)

美国一联邦上诉法院判定，特朗普政府动用军事经费，在亚利桑那州、新墨西哥州和加利福尼亚州的南部边境建墙，违反法律规定。美国第九巡回上诉法院的合议庭表示，财权属于国会，政府无权将军费挪用至边境墙的建造工程。这项裁定能否保持有效尚未确定。去年，第九巡回上诉法院禁止政府将25亿美元的军费用于建墙，特朗普政府提出紧急上诉后，联邦最高法院驳回禁令。6月26日的裁决恢复了这一禁令。当日，第九巡回上诉法院的多数裁决表示，法律规定，只有出于未预测到的军事目的才可动用军事经费，而边境墙“不是未预测到的军事需求”。
