Before today, legal writers were guessing at the statutes the president would use to justify defying the will of Congress and using the military to build his border wall. Now we know. In his declaration, he’s exclusively using 10 U.S.C. 2808 to reallocate up to $3.6 billion from Department of Defense construction projects — more than double the amount that Congress allocated for wall construction in its border compromise. (He intends to use other funds as well for wall construction, but those aren’t applicable to the emergency declaration.)
Wow! he needs to lay off the coffee.
The Rule of Law died in January of 2009. David French wants to lose with dignity, not win.
not this putz again
I was thinking he needs fiber in his diet. Lots of it. He has too much pressure in his intestines.
boom
Because NRO has such respect for “the rule of law.”
All of these anal retentive pundits should read the story of Alexander the Great and the Gordian Knot.
nice
I bet this person had NO issue with Obama giving BILLIONS to Iran by bypassing Congress..he just gave them the money in the middle of the night..not a peep of outrage
NRO has always been a den of open borders advocates.
One hundred percent of all arguements against the wall, and one hundred percent of the people who support those arguements outright ignore (not minimize, but ignore) the preamble of the Constitution.
We have twenty or thirty million illegals in this country, we have a Congress that has failed to act, and Never Trumper David French thinks that Trump is the one who is contemptuous of the rule of law?
What a dope.
Interesting argument. Would building a wall protect the military from having to use time and resources on something that should not have to do? That’s my question. I don’t believe French’s argument is anywhere near cut and dried.

TDS liars like to lie.
The Revolution - By Any Means Necessary
When the Rule of Law exempts Democrats there is no Rule of Law.
Dope? Retromingent jackass is more appropriate.
Twenty years ago we had twenty million of them. Did they stop coming in then?
So he can shove The Wall up his 0bama sideways.
