@Anonymous; it’s going to be tricky for the 9th Circus to rule against Trump even though they’re getting little chubbies under the their robes thinking they can, because even the average Californian (and the moderate to severe Democrats everywhere) can understand that if the project has been cancelled (creating a “last train to Clarkesville” doesn’t count as the project signed on for) then the money comes back or isn’t sent in the first place. They risk a real backlash and greater support for Trump breaking up the 9th.
“This is CA’s money, allocated by Congress for this project. We’re not giving it back.”
The money allocated by Congress was AMERICAN TAXPAYER money. I am an American taxpayer and I want that money back.
Money should be recovered and used for Border Wall; Newsom should love that.
Put a border wall around Any-Twosome-Newsom. Then deport all the
free-shitters. California could pay back the U.S. citizens in a few days, be solvent by Christmas.

Simple solution: they get ZERO federal funds for anything until the $2.5B is effectively paid back.
