With Donald Trump’s proclamation of a phony national emergency in response to a phony invasion on our southern border, the country has entered a genuine constitutional crisis.
Military funds have been diverted under emergency presidential authority only twice before in our history: by Bush 41 after Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait, and by Bush 43 following 9/11.

So when Obama used a national emergency so that Hillary could start a war in Libya to serve large foreign donors to the Clinton Foundation it was what? Fair game?

I am surrounded by what seems to be romneybots
in fact I saw some guy driving by with a romney/ryan sign on his vehicle.
I will not ever. not ever vote for that again
not for him or his little dog ryan...

Not a fan, but the establishment had their chance twice. But they let McCain go in 08 because it was his turn and let a weak half-hearted Romney go in 12. ANY competent candidate should have wiped Obama out both times. So tell me again why we need your opinions?
