They're not "waiting this long into the project," and they have be "after it from the get go." It's not their fault that the Administration has chosen to completely ignore all of the folks who have been loudly and consistently pointing out - correctly - that they shouldn't be doing this without Congressional approval.

I'm surprised there wasn't an injunction before he could knock down anything. I thought those could be obtained very quickly while the main question was adjudicated.

His style is to do something, and then claim "we already did it...too late, losers".

MAGA seems to be about doing whatever they want regardless of the law, and then by the time you are able to stop them legally, it's already done. Whether knocking down part of the WH, or rapidly deporting people to El Salvadoran prisons, or whatever illegal thing they want to do. And then it's not that it's illegal, it's that there is some "radical liberal activist judge" saying it's illegal.
