There is no military emergency. Therefore, taking monies from the DOD is wrong. There is a humanitarian emergency. That is hardly a military issue.
The lawsuit can easily state the president has caused the humanitarian emergency because of his own policies that have not been legislated. If there was a sincere threat to the USA, the legislature would move to pass legislation expressing same and funding it.

There are good arguments to end this hideous situation at the southern border. The American people are effected by bad policies that cause these emergencies.
