Lamar Alexander to Trump: Reconsider emergency declaration or risk GOP rebellion
New York Post ^ | 2/28/2019 | Bob Fredericks

Tennessee GOP Sen. Lamar Alexander told President Trump on Thursday that he should reconsider his decision to declare a national emergency at the southern border or face a possible Republican rebellion. Alexander, who is retiring, refused to say whether he would join three other Republicans — Susan Collins of Maine, Thom Tillis of North Carolina and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska — in voting against the declaration.

From yesterday but I didn't see this one posted. I don't recall much rebellion when Obama instituted the DACA program in a memo and not an executive order even though Congress had refused to fund it. And now the new administration isn't permitted by the Supreme Court to end DACA. The uni-party always has the majority.

Lamar

Consider changing your obstruction on behalf of open border billionaires or risk everybody telling your ilk to go to hell at the ballot box.

“And now the new administration isn’t permitted by the Supreme Court to end DACA.”

The Supreme Court doesn’t rule over the Executive branch. Trump should just ignore them and instruct his subordinates to obey his instructions or be fired.

Drop dead Lamar.

Nobody cares what you think.

No really, NOBODY.

the truth hurts.

A gazillion people heading towards the border with one possibly carrying the next illness that will wipe out 1/2 of America, not to mention the rapists and MS13 members and on and on and on.

But it’s not a national emergency.

What exactly IS then?

I am more than ready for the GOP to commit suicide by breaking from Trump on this.

The death of the GOP is long overdue.
Bring on the MAGA party!

Primaries? We are way past primaries. The GOP is corrupt at its core and not reformable. Sorry.

Lamar was for a few moments seen as a possible successor to Reagan. This was back in 1988 or so, thirty years ago.

He never caught fire though, and I guess we know why.

These guys don’t care. They are going to flip the bird to Trump and those that voted for him. Then retire to K Street. Lamar! will never face voters again. Same with Marco Amnestio.

We need a 3rd party with an new bill of rights for the internet age. Never Trumpism to the benefit of Hillary Criminal and her SCOTUS proves the GOP is corrupt and beyond reform.

Texas VOTER here to Mr. Lamar - It’s an invasion on our borders you damned idiot. Article 4, section 4 of our United States Constitution that YOU swore an oath to.

Is there a brain eating virus spreading through Congress?

Good luck convincing me there isn’t.

“or face a possible Republican rebellion”

Good. Then Trump can once again show the people how he’s really fighting both parties to do what’s best for the country.

It sounds like little Lamar doesn’t think a foreign invasion of the U.S. is an emergency. He and his GOOB pals want to see a rebellion? Don’t do anything to stop the invasion. Americans have had enough. America is our home. It is not a “refugee” camp, an asylum or Job Corp work project.

The GOPe jackwagons like Lamar are biding their time while Trump is attacked from the right by the open borders Libertarian fake “constitionalists” like Amash, Massie, etc. Beltway theater at it’s finest.
