Trump as Hercules Cleaning Out the Augean Stables

Cory Booker joined the Dem Weirdo Show this past week. Cortez-Markey’s plan to save the planet by eliminating airplane travel (about which even Hawaiian lefty Mazie Hirono had reservations absent a high speed over the ocean train rail to Hawaii) and killing cows wasn’t enough for him. He wanted us all to become vegans to sustain the planet. No meat, no eggs, just vegetables and fruit. (It boggles the mind to think how much farmland it would take to substitute vegetable protein for meat and eggs and where in the world all that fertilizer would come from.)
Newt Gingrich tweeted an observation: “So Democrats can get the Vegan vote and Republicans can get everyone who goes to McDonald’s. Wendy’s Burger King, Arby’s, Chick-Fil-A, Outback, Ruth’s Chris, etc. etc.”

In 1976, Congress passed the National Emergencies Act. Since then, presidents have declared “at least 53 states of emergency.”
If Congress doesn’t agree with the emergency power declaration, the 1976 Act provides a remedy — and I think it is the only remedy consistent with that act and the Constitution: passing a bill to rescind it, something Ocasio-Cortez has said she will try to do. (Speaker Pelosi talked earlier of seeking judicial relief, but it’s my opinion that the act, consistent with the separation of powers, provides the only route to overturn it.)’I do not see rescission passing muster in both houses of Congress, no matter how much the NYT and others wish that were so.
But should it, the president can veto it, and I doubt that the left has sufficient votes to overturn that.
mairdie...nice to “see’ you again...hope all is well.
you and I agree
I started banging that drum earlier and have been banging it ever since.
