Sen. Tammy Duckworth, Illinois Democrat, on Sunday said she believes there are enough votes in the Senate to pass a resolution disapproving of President Trump’s recent emergency declaration the White House says will allow him to tap unspent money to construct a border wall.
“I think we do,” Ms. Duckworth said on ABC’s “This Week.” “Now, whether we have enough for an override and veto, that’s a different story.”
“But frankly, I think there’s enough people in the Senate who are concerned that what he’s doing is robbing from the military and the [Defense Department] to go build this wall,” she said.
Under the National Emergencies Act, Congress can pass a resolution disapproving of Mr. Trump’s emergency declaration.

Bump!
Q. What is a duck worth?
A. About two dollars.
Sorry bastard republicans. Trump needs just a little help from these worthless GOPe Senators and he can’t get it. Sorry, Sorry bastards.
“He has the power to keep it from coming to the floor.
If he allows a vote he is once again backstabbing the President.”
Not so.
Any single Senator can demand a vote and it must occur in a timely fashion in accordance with law.
And it’s filibuster proof.
They don’t have enough votes to do anything in the Senate.
You know the democrats. Piss down the uninformed’s back and tell them it’s raining.
Blowin’ smoke up people’s butts this Duckworth is.
5.56mm
So it’s a political issue between 2 branches of Gubmit the courts eventually won’t touch.
“As much as I think she’s an idiot, Duckworth was an Army officer who was wounded pretty bad. She may be a lunatic on the Left, but she has walked the walk, unlike so many others.”
Who cares? Benedict Arnold and the former Marine in the Texas Towers both served honorably at one time as well. However, they were still horrible people just like Duckworth.
A total of 20 republicans need to override.
Thank you!
I agree and respect her as a veteran but not in the least as a senator.
“But frankly, I think there’s enough people in the Senate who are concerned that what he’s doing is robbing from the military and the [Defense Department] to go build this wall,” she said.
This said after Congress has been, previous to Trump, gutting the Defense budget for years.
And what good would that do? That just insures a CommiecRAT replaces a fake Republican.
The solution we are heading towards involves tar and feathers.
Again, how on earth do these wretches, these repulsive people, ever get elected to anything?
They were all on display during the SOTU telecast.
Good...The Democrats posing as Republicans will be exposed once for all...
Wonderful North Carolina RINO Senator Thom Tillis says he disagrees with the emergency declaration. Who owns him?
It is like farting in an elevator, it smells for a while but once you exit then it dissipates and the provocateur of the stench is left exposed
People are putting their cards on the table and I am sure that DJT is keeping score as the noose tightens around the necks of all in Congress. Very interesting drama unfolding as the ones who have been on the take are butt puckering as it becomes clear there is a lot of evidence they have been involved and on the take, both Blue and Red.
The Great Awakening truly has begun and all of the wolves in sheeps clothing are fighting to avoid being brought into the light of day. Either they know that the table has tilted and the more they resist and fight to follow the Constitution and enumerated responsibilities the deeper they dig the hole they will be thrown into.
The poop is getting real in this Humpty Dumpty, and not just here but in countries around the world.
Enjoy the show, and stock up on popcorn
Formally disapprove!!!!Wow...that’ll get him shaking in his boots!!!!
As corrupt and stupid as the GOP is I doubt they would want to lose the next election over this (and probably all future elections when Dems legalize every person south of the border).

Any GOPe Senator or Representative who votes for this joint resolution has just signed his/her/its own political death warrant for 2020. May my own GOPe/turd Senator, Alexander, go flush himself down the nearest toilet, provided the septic tank bacteria can stand the idea of digesting him.
Yes, that is true. But many Dems have served in the past only to hate the military and no longer support the military. She may or may not be any different — but there is a history of such. Also, Dems are recruiting former military to try to give them credibility — but that doesn’t make them supporters of the military.
Suckworth is full of crap.
The generals urged the president to take money from the defense budget, telling him that the Wall is more important.
