Or
“Gentlemen, elections have consequences, and I won.”
No howling from the press over that one either. Just proving that when its not dictatorship when their man does it. Can you imagine what it would look like if Hillary was in charge right now. Some of us would have already have been offed, waiting for mass execution in some make shift concentration camp as they would round us up individual since we are being isolated, and total civil war in less controlled regions.
He may have not said he had total authority but he sure acted like it. Just think about the planeload of cash he shipped to a terrorist regime in secret.
In a statement appearing in the Washington Post, United States President Barrack “Hussein” Obama said “Americans would be better living under martial law.” The Washington Post, a long-time democratic mouth piece and Obama supporter, downplayed the statement by suggesting it was made in jest and that President Obama had been “joking around” with the reporter at the time the statement was made.
Never heard any firestorm over this...
I watch the 5.
As soon as it is over I turn on any other damned thing cause I refuse to view Baier as he is a never Trumper.
Wallace and Baier are garbage.
when Trump says he has the authority to end the shutdown he does have the authority. Almost all of the Governor’s have over stepped there constitutional authority in how they implemented the shut downs. All that the Trump administration has to do is force the states to fallow the laws of there own state and fallow the state and fedral constitution to get the economy working again.
Ok what was the result of that decision? Quoting the law and the Constitution matters not, quote what resulted of that decision. Laws and decisions are often used wrongly by inferior courts to change the intent of the decision or law and they continue until corrected usually never.
By the way the President is required, by the Constitution, to see that all laws are faithfully enforced, which they never do, in fact most use the selective enforcement of laws to promote their agenda. Notice today that Justice refused to charge an FBI agent with possession of child porn even though he was guilty as sin. How would that work for me or you?
“Ok what was the result of that decision?”
I’m reaching back many years in memory, but my recollection was that a private farmer’s crop, the yield of which went beyond federal limits, could be held in violation of the Act as any surplus (i.e., any yield beyond that which the Act allotted per acre) could not be considered for “personal use” because, collectively (if other farmers did the same thing) it would impact interstate commerce as a “non-personal” crop, and thus subject to the Act.
Now, I do think it is a bad decision. As I think Roe v. Wade was a bad decision; and Plessy v. Ferguson.
I agree. The point is once a decision is made regulators will take it to the extreme and patiently waiting for the Supremes to quickly correct those illegal interpretations is just another delay that may or may not come to an end.
could not be considered for “personal use” because, collectively (if other farmers did the same thing) it would impact interstate commerce as a “non-personal” crop, and thus subject to the Act.Beside they couldn't have controlled most of the farmland without this very narrow decision that only affected one person, right?
I keep reading all these patriot posts saying; they can't do that, it is un-constituional, yet they continue to do those things un-abated. Meanwhile Barr issues a few warnings but no indictments.
Currently what is legal is determined by a few governors and a few leftists judges.
“Currently what is legal is determined by a few governors and a few leftists judges.”
Unfortunately, it’s pretty much been that way for generations. The Constitution was supposed to prevent this; but We, the People, have — over generations — allowed the Constitution to become...well, iffy.
Didn’t say he had no authority, just not total authority. And, it really wouldn’t be the President in that case, it would be the courts.
I think you are right. He’s already headed in that direction.
He’s right, but unlike Obama, who would have said it and fully meant it.. Trump uses hyperbole and exaggeration often and generally does so just to get a rise out of his opponents.
Trump knows he’s doesn’t have dictatorial powers of the entire countries economy.. but because he said it, now there will this whole stupid argument about the fact he doesn’t and that Governors have that power... so when the states start opening up and governors of deep blue states refuse to do it, the casual public will know without question it wasn’t Trump’s doing because there will be audio and video tape of how its up to the individual governors to do it...
So while NY will drag on its economic destruction through July possibly, as everywhere else is starting to hum along, the blame will be purely on the Dems and their governors...
ROPE A DOPE... Once again.. and they fall for it every single time.
Oh good. Our daily dose of shit from The Hill.
Trump did this on purpose. Remember what happened within 12 hours - ALL Democrat governors knocked each other over to have press conferences saying THEY would be totally in charge and responsible for opening their states.
game set and match
Obama was the HOPE A DOPE.
But, doesn't apply because the presidential emergency orders are pursurant to acts of congress. ... section 501(b) of the Stafford Act (42 U.S.C. 5191(b))
