How much is in the discretionary budgets of the various executive controlled agencies? He has oversight of all those agencies, via their chief execs. Change their mandate and burn through the discretionary.
Here's what I hope happens:
1) The case(s) makes it to SCOTUS.
2) SCOTUS curtails EO's to almost nothing, and for a very narrow band of reasons, and provides clarity on the actual executive powers in the Constitution
2b) With these curtailed, Dems can never pull another DACA end around.
3) The government uses the funding to build parts of the "wall", and then shows some success.
4) Trump shuts the gov down again when this funding bill expires

than one's fear. The timid presume it is lack of fear that allows the brave to act when the timid do not."
