If the dems go to court, Trump should inform the judge the administration will not appear or cooperate in the process. The president has the paper of emergency declarations and no court or judge has the power to overrule that. You can’t defend a country by judicial fiat. What would FDR have done of a judge said shut down the Manhattan project
You got this right 100% and every other statement or comment anyone has to make about this situation is BS.
In essence, Trump can tell the court that the Dems lack standing? Even SC? SC has self appropriated power before.
I think Trump’s problem is that if he does not recognize a court especially the SC, that’s going to be grounds for impeachment especially when they get the enemedia howling. The leftists are trying to put him in this box.
So, if Trump declares the emergency order to build the wall, and SC upholds it, Trump will be effectively neutered probably impeached unless.....
1. He has some superincriminating info whereby he can just start arresting Dems, media etc and putting them in front military tribunals.
2. We have a hot civil war. Perhaps CA attempted secession, or Trump baits CA into it.
3. We have a major conflict and serious flash point /hot war with China or its equivalent.
I would go back and review Sulla’s dictatorship and Caesar’s siezure of power. Both men were forced into taking control as an act of self-preservation.
“What would FDR have done of a judge said shut down the Manhattan project.”
The country was at war and united back then and any judge that tried to do something like that would be disposed of and erased from history as if he had never lived.
The problem today is that if we had a world war with China, Russia etc, the Dems would be siding with our enemies, and probably doing it openly!
