Blunt has also warned a future Democratic president could take advantage of the precedent set by the national emergency declaration and take action on issues such as gun control or environmental regulations.

Oh come on, that's a straw argument. Democrats take advantage without needing precedent. Ever hear of Obama and his pen? Nix Blunt, take him down a notch and stop him from siding with Democrats against our Republican president. Needs a reminder as to who put Blunt in office, it wasn't Democrats.

“Oh come on, that’s a straw argument. Democrats take advantage without needing precedent.”

EXACTLY - the cat’s out of the bag on this approach now. EVERYTHING that the Dems have done and said for the past 3 years shows that they are going to rule with an IRON FIST should they get power...regarding EVERYTHING. A few examples:
1) Attempt to pack the courts (that will be interesting)
2) End the Senate Filibuster, once and for all (both Reid and Shuemer have been clear on this)
3) Make DC and PR states (a long-held goal to add more Dems to Congress, and use PR for more electoral votes)
4) Eliminate what little integrity is left in our voting system (obvious by the rulings of their judges, along with their opposition to any reforms)
5) No longer enforce border security (i.e., no more ICE, all will be welcome here)
6) Declare emergencies if needed to implement their priorities (regardless of Trump’s wall)
7) Prevent Congress from exerting any leverage over their president (by use of the courts, the media, etc.)
8) End the Electoral College (either outright, or through their backdoor attempt that’s in progress).
9) Prevent Republicans from EVER becoming a majority party again in Congress or winning the White House. (a direct result of much of the above). We can end up as a 60/40 Republican country, but still be lucky to have 100 seats in Congress or win 100 EVs.

So, to you TRUMP HATERS still lurking about, please ask yourselves if this future is what you REALLY WANT, because it is the future you will get - there is no Evan McMullian ready to swoop-in as an independent, thereby saving the country - it’s either Trump or the above in 2020.
