it doesn’t matter if it makes a difference. Trump has now made it much easier for a President to bypass congress on this big stuff.
you should be mad at Mitch. he’s not doing his job.

Then they’ll try something else. Your post illustrates perfectly why Trump’s emergency declaration is such a terrible idea.
It is overly empowering the executive.
He cannot sidestep Congress, even for a policy I support.
The dangers of precedent would be established.

It’s also a possibility Pelosi may not be around when the next President after Trump is elected. Endless possibilities.
Hell no.
The majority of people are simply willing to throw their liberty away for false security.
Our founding fathers predicted threats like the Russians, Chinese and even some in the Democratic Party would be a threat to the American people.
if you read this place the freshman AOC is ready to take over for Nancy and make us Venezuela.
Yes. And Trump’s move today opens the door to all kinds of scary possibilities.
What?
No they weren’t thinking that far ahead.
They were concerned with three things during the early years following the Revolutionary war.
- Keeping the British out.
- Staying out of the chaos that was the French Revolution.
- Safeguarding the the Caribbean for American shipping.
This will probably will go to the Supreme Court, thanks to the facts and the Conservative Judges who know their job is to protect the American people it will be approved.
Or we could just follow the damn constitution. Congress passes a bill, the president signs or vetos.

British, Russians, Chinese, same thing.
This is a National Emergency.
But in 1792, supporters of Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, who favored decentralized, limited government, formed an opposition faction that would become known as the Democratic-Republicans.
Other than a complete misunderstanding and misrepresentation of history, great post.
Not even close to the same thing.
They were dealing with an entirely different world order back then. The Americans were the new kids on the block, with a nonexistent army, a tiny navy, and two big oceans.
We were concerned with North America and the Caribbean during the early years. Well that and smashing open revolts in the middle States.
Sandy’s days are numbered.
The enemy with in, who is refusing to secure the border for the American people? Democrats.
You can argue that anything is a national emergency with that line of thinking.
You want to give the left the power to make a grab for firearms rights by executive fiat? I don’t want to give them that kind of power.
But you are more than willing to throw everything away over what is ultimately a serious issue that can be solved through the constitutional framework.
If we are going to throw it away then let’s just go full steam and dissolve the Republic and create a new series of independent republics in its place.
Pelosi just handed Trump great campaign material.
There is a National emergency, if the Democrats are going to ignore it it needs to go to the Supreme Court.
