Nixon?
Sheet tubes, sleet cubes.
Justice for Jussie!
However, no matter WHAT Justice Frankfurter has to say, NONE of this mattered when 0bama had a pen and a phone!
Build. The. Wall. Get. It. Done. By ANY means necessary.
How many of these whiners, did anything to help, like to make sure Roy Moore won his Senate seat, or campaigned for the Republicans who lost in the midterms?
If we didn’t get what we wanted, it was because of what happened in the midterms, it greatly reduced Trump’s leverage.
Sophistry.
Both Congress and the President have the Constitutional duty to protect this country from invasion. Congress is not allowed to let their abrogation of their responsibility force the President to abrogate his responsibility.
Citing Youngstown v. Sawyer after the enactment of the National Emergency Act is like citing the Kansas Nebraska Act or the Dred Scott decision after the Civil War. Truman used his inherent Presidential Executive Authority and the Court ruled against him. In 1976, the Congress delegated that authority to the President and it has never been challenged. Nice try.
The National Emergencies Act (NEA) (Pub.L. 94–412, 90 Stat. 1255, enacted September 14, 1976, codified at 50 U.S.C. § 1601–1651) is a United States federal law passed to end all previous national emergencies and to formalize the emergency powers of the President.
Trump’s the best president in modern times.
Ronald Reagan caved in on a general amnesty.
The show ain’t over yet, pilgrim. Let Trump be Trump.
it greatly reduced Trump’s leverage.
Yeah, that and ten cents won’t buy you bubble gum pal.
Hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens are coming in to occupy OUR NATION. Drugs are pouring in over the border. Cartel members now live on certain mountain ranges in our nation, along trails used to smuggle drugs in.
Our citizens are getting killed, raped, our children are being sodomized and otherwise sexually abused, our communities are being exposed to gangs, drugs, intimidation, other crimes, and duress.
Nope, no one could call this an national emergency. No one could call it a effort to end an affront to humanity itself.
This doesn’t even begin to address the crimes committed against the aliens themselves on the way here. Children are abused, sent off by parents without guardians. Women in large numbers are being raped. The children themselves are being molested. They are threatened with death if they tell.
Take your opinion to Democrat Underground, where you will find plenty of support for it.
That's when I stopped reading. I know something about Youngstown Steel and fail to see any but the most superficial comparison to the current emergency declaration.
Frankfurter is a weeny.
Exactly!
Come back an apologize for this drivel after you are proven wrong.
“...his legal advisors have failed him.”
A lot of people have failed him. The GOP led House and Senate, the GOP never-Trumpers... the people like Coulter who stomp their feet and call him names because he can’t do it alone.
Except this is the border that we are talking about and it is a direct responsibility of the commander-in-chief to keep that border secure. So it IS different. He has the power to secure that border without the emergency. So screw the judges and “The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers”.
Go back to the street...and yell.
The Wall is only step one. The fact is the wall needed to already have been built and he should have already moved onto other steps like mandating E-Verify and ending things like H1B visas.
Trump’s comments on how America needs more insourcing with H1B visas is discouraging because he’s suggesting Americans shouldn’t have rising wages, which is a Chamber of Commerce type talking point.
You got that right. Nationalizing private industry is a far cry from a President fulfilling his Constitutional duty to defend the borders of the US.
