C’mon .. I know you’re smarter than that.

THIS HAS REAL PURPOSE. GW Bush wrote a EO citing this same legislation (just as every president does). That’s why, on 9/11, GW was able to enact all sorts of emergency plans .. because of this legislation.

When are people going to realize that having this emergency power is vital to our security ..??

And .. it was also this power that allowed our Special Forces to land in Afghanistan on 9/12.

Yup, which is why I get very specific as to what constitutes an emergency.

From Black's Law Dictionary:

Situation requiring immediate attention and remedial action. Involves injury, loss of life, damage to the property, or catastrophic interference with the normal activities. A sudden, unexpected, or impending situation. The current situation regarding illegals, DOES NOT meet the standard of "emergency" because it is neither sudden, unexpected, or an impending catastrophe.

When are people going to realize that having this emergency power is vital to our security ..??

Emergency powers are vital, and are not a threat to our security as long as they are defined in scope, temporally, spatially, and situationally.

And .. it was also this power that allowed our Special Forces to land in Afghanistan on 9/12.

A lot of good that war did.
