House Democrats filed their first lawsuit against the Trump administration in April of last year, a challenge to President Donald Trump’s diversion of military funds for border wall construction. And on Tuesday, several lawsuits and an impeachment trial later, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit heard en banc arguments in that case.

The appeals court in D.C. has already ruled on three of the House lawsuits. And as they heard the arguments in a pair of cases that were previously unrelated Tuesday, the judges tied the legal questions back to the lawsuits they’ve ruled on, to Trump’s impeachment and to the House cases now pending before the U.S. Supreme Court—a sign of just how frequent and intertwined the congressional litigation has become over the past 12 months.
