Utah Sen. Mitt Romney says 'I've made my decision' about President Trump's national emergency vote
Desert News ^ | 3/7/19 | Matthew Brown

Posted on 03/07/2019 9:53:41 PM PST by conservative98

Romney is among a few GOP senators who have not disclosed how they will vote on a joint resolution that rejects Trump's national emergency declaration as a way to secure funding for a promised wall along the Mexico border.

Trump is expected to veto the resolution if it passes.

"You really can't say how you're going to vote on something until you know precisely what will come," Romney said. "But, I have studied this at some length and spoken with a number of people about it and I've made my decision, pending what the final bill looks like that comes to the Senate floor."

On Monday, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said senators were still looking into whether the joint disapproval resolution can be amended.

Among the amendments being discussed is a proposal by Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, that would put a time limit on future national emergencies and require a simple majority vote by Congress to extend them beyond a 30-day or a 60-day period, the Hill reported.

A spokesman for Lee said, “He is in talks with colleagues on how to best secure a vote to make real substantive changes to the (National Emergencies Act).”

Romney made his decision, wrote it on paper, fed it to his dog, and put the dog on the top of his car to digest it. Now he has to do it all over again. Mit - Mutt, same thing.

You know damn well that Trump offen makes comments about things that he’s not going to budge on just to get the other side to the bargaining table If I’m not stupid I believe that our President has pubically supported a bill by Tom Cotton to overhaul our legal immigration system it’s cuts legale immigration by at least a third and does the same for foreign work visas if you people would just judge Trump by what he does and not what he says you would at least sound reasonable all you people doubting our President I wonder how you people would get the wall built with no support I believe it takes 60 votes to pass but let’s say it’s 51 it still want pass the worthless GOP is the problem not Trump you people act like building a wall is all Trumps job consist of he’s the only person in DC that’s willing to even try to fix the big world problems China and North Korea for example I don’t see Rocket man fireing off missiles and I damn for sure havnt seen Trump sending our enemys pallets of cash you people that criticise Trump on ever little thing he says would not hold up two days under the onslout he faces bravely ever day healthy criticism has a place but these down right attacks weakens our President and our cause hell the Dems know our side will thru in the towel on anything that helps us deplorables the only game that is being played in DC is get rid of Trump anybody but a damn fool would already know this

Legal immigration at the expense of a country’s own citizens is globalist. See most of Europe’s leaders, England’s May and Trump.

Trump willingly is giving us away.

Romney couldn’t beat an illegal alien what makes him think he could be a real president

“Trump has moved on from the wall to an all out push for more Foreign Workers”

That’s such obvious nonsense that I’m not going to waste readers’ time explaining why.
