Me to Alexander: Reconsider opposition to Trump or risk primary voter rebellion.
Lamar Alexander to Trump: Reconsider emergency declaration or risk GOP rebellion
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Trump to Lamar: Sit down and shut up, pussy.
He just wants a few seconds of shameful publicity before he retires congress.
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!
The Doublecross from the spineless Suthrun Democrat hiding in RINO clothing
F-Off Alexander, you either get on the team or LEAVE
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.
Shut up Lamar.
Feckless twerp.
Little late for that threat, aren’t we? The GOP has been shivving DJT from the get go.
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.
Not so - the Court merely declined to hear the adminisration's 9th Circuit-skipping appeal.
Four courts have stated that President Trump has the authority to end DACA as a policy decision ... the ball's in his court.
Regents of the University of California v. U.S. Department of Homeland Security : "To be clear: we do not hold that DACA could not be rescinded as an exercise of Executive Branch discretion. We hold only that here, where the Executive did not make a discretionary choice to end DACA—but rather acted based on an erroneous view of what the law required—the rescission was arbitrary and capricious under settled law. The government is, as always, free to reexamine its policy choices"
Napolitano v DHS: "All agree that a new administration is entitled to replace old policies with new policies [...] the new administration didn’t terminate DACA on policy grounds. It terminated DACA over a point of law, a pithy conclusion that the agency had exceeded its statutory and constitutional authority."
Batalla Vidal v. Nielsen: "Defendants indisputably can end the DACA program. [...] The question before the court is thus not whether Defendants could end the DACA program, but whether they offered legally adequate reasons for doing so. Based on its review of the record before it, the court concludes that Defendants have not done so. First, the decision to end the DACA program appears to rest exclusively on a legal conclusion that the program was unconstitutional and violated the APA and INA."
NAACP v. Trump: "while immigration policies are generally “so exclusively entrusted to the political branches of government as to be largely immune from judicial inquiry or interference,” there are good reasons to scrutinize a policy more carefully when it is based solely on an agency’s reading of domestic statutory law."
Is this the bag of bones that I last saw holding up a flannel shirt? Back in the ‘80’s?
Mr Lamar, reconsider spending all your efforts getting along with Democrats rather than keeping things like campaign promises or you may continue to experience the angst of Republicsn voters as you did last year.
Shaddup, Lamer. Resign already.
