Wrong. The fence was authorized and funded back in 2006 and is still on the books.

Wrong. It has been stopped by the courts. It is effectively no longer on the books, nor was what was authorized complete.

As for the lawsuits, Trump can issue an Executive Order declaring it a national security emergency and just do it. And I believe he would.

Not within his powers, unless you want to develop dictatorship in this country. Is that your goal?

As for someone dropping that on him, you think it hasn't been already?

Quote it.

The biggest half of leadership is having the will to use the power you have.

Under divided government, the biggest part of leadership is knowing how to get it done under the rule of law. Abuse of "emergency powers" (we've been under emergency powers since 1933) is the first step to absolute tyranny. I cringe at the thought of Democrats in power after your boy has pulled stunts like that.

HERE is a reference to the fascist emergency powers we've been under since 1933, how they were enacted, and by whom.

I prefer the Constitution, thank you.

I saw it myself. O'Reilly was one, and I've heard him asked more than once. Believe me or not, I don't care.

So where is your source? What lawsuit?

It's not an abuse when it is an actual national security emergency. The border invasion qualifies in my book.
