I agree with you. Sitting here listening to Carl DeMaio talk show here in San Diego, who says he is conservative / libertarian but he thinks any attempt at declaration of emergency is unconstitutional, which I do not agree with.
Obama declared a state of Emergency 15 times when he was President, including for the swine flu, I didnt hear anyone complain, in fact no one even knew about it because Obama did it and it was no big deal when he did it
