I do too.

Perhaps 4D Strategery to declare ALL 50 STATES in an emergency.

The United States Constitution implicitly provides some emergency powers in the article about the executive power :

Congress may authorize the government to call forth the militia to execute the laws, suppress an insurrection or repel an invasion.

Congress may authorize the government to suspend consideration of writs of habeas corpus “when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it.”

Felony charges may be brought without presentment or grand jury indictment in cases arising “in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger.”

A state government may engage in war without Congress’s approval if “actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay.”
Aside from these, many provisions of law exist in various jurisdictions, which take effect only upon an executive declaration of emergency; some 500 federal laws take effect upon a presidential declaration of emergency. The National Emergencies Act regulates this process at the federal level. It requires the President to specifically identify the provisions activated and to renew the declaration annually so as to prevent an arbitrarily broad or open-ended emergency. Presidents have occasionally taken action justified as necessary or prudent because of a state of emergency, only to have the action struck down in court as unconstitutional.[110]

I have to think that somehow by declaring them all in a state of emergency he will find a way to end this sanctuary BS.
