The constitution clearly states that power of the purse is vested in Congress. Congress passed a law that forbid the president from not spending money that was already appropriated and it was upheld by the supreme court.
So now we have the supreme court, along party lines, dismissing an injunction that prevented the president from diverting already appropriated (to something different) funds and has allowed him to continue spending the money for the wall while the case is in litigation.

Apparently they ruled that the parties suing didn't have a just cause. So why isn't Congress suing?
