Most of the people commenting on the National Emergencies Act have never commented on it before. They never heard of it before. And when it was invoked repeatedly by Barack Obama and invoked by other presidents who preceded this president, they never said squat. They never wrote about it. They never complained about it. They never said it was unconstitutional. They never said, We dont govern this way.
Were not talking about this president issuing an executive order, that, out of thin air, creates DACA. Thats not what this presidents doing. There was no statutory basis for DACA, and Obama admitted it. He wrote legislation out of thin air. He violated separation of powers. Thats not what Trump plans to do.

Why does this concept appear so obvious to us here but to the morons in office it appears like Trump is tearing up the constitution with this action?
