Utah Sen. Mitt Romney says 'I've made my decision' about President Trump's national emergency vote
Desert News ^ | 3/7/19 | Matthew Brown

Posted on 03/07/2019 9:53:41 PM PST by conservative98

Romney is among a few GOP senators who have not disclosed how they will vote on a joint resolution that rejects Trump's national emergency declaration as a way to secure funding for a promised wall along the Mexico border.

Trump is expected to veto the resolution if it passes.

"You really can't say how you're going to vote on something until you know precisely what will come," Romney said. "But, I have studied this at some length and spoken with a number of people about it and I've made my decision, pending what the final bill looks like that comes to the Senate floor."

On Monday, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said senators were still looking into whether the joint disapproval resolution can be amended.

Among the amendments being discussed is a proposal by Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, that would put a time limit on future national emergencies and require a simple majority vote by Congress to extend them beyond a 30-day or a 60-day period, the Hill reported.

A spokesman for Lee said, “He is in talks with colleagues on how to best secure a vote to make real substantive changes to the (National Emergencies Act).”

Gee, I wonder if Romney will vote to support president Trump?

/s

I guess the MSM wants us to sit on the edge of our seats feverishly awaiting Romney's wise ruling on the matter.

Romney has always been a Cheap Labor Express stooge.
He joined the largest collection of Cheap Labor Express stooges known as the US Senate.
They have made careers out of blocking the citizens from stopping the illegal alien inundation.

The following generation messed up child rearing. They discovered the television and suburban sprawl. They felt progress was doing less with more.

It was those born 1930 to 1950 that really screwed generations to come.

I don't get these people at all.

They know FAR MORE than we do, about the dire circumstances at our border, and the destruction the Marxist democrats intend to inflict on our nation.

President Trump is the one man standing in their (dems) way, trying to stop them.

For this reason, (he's trying to protect our country), the democrat party relentlessly attacks him, his family, his friends, his business associates, and everyone around him.

You'd think these so-called "Patriots" would want to save the U.S.A. and do everything they could to unite and back him up.

But no, they won't help, and they plot and scheme to take him down too .

Disgusting 😑.

God Help Us.

Trump was elected to stop the invasion. He is instead accelerating it.

The “Wall” is now clearly a campaign lie.

More immigrants allow Romney and Lee to spread the Mormon gospel.

The blame for the wall is owned by Bitch McConnell and Lyin' Ryan. They tag-teamed and rope-a-doped President Trump until the clock ran out and the Dem congress was sworn in. President Trump was a political neophyte and trusted those two worms.

You can't blame President Trump. If Bitch and Ryan had wanted a wall, there would have been a wall.

Mitt is a Mormon like Flake and Mia Love. There is little doubt which way he will roll.

Remember how candidate Trump used to fire up those crowds?

“What do we want?”

“Increased immigration!!”

“Who’s going to pay for it?

“Our children, when their homeland dies!”

Those were some good times.

Trump could have asked Ryan and McConnell for a funding commitment in November of 2016. Had it not been forthcoming, he should have declared an emergency then, when the republicans had a majority in both houses.

He may yet build, if he can avoid a veto override, but you can’t relieve him of responsibility. He made the promise a hundred times and he will sink or swim on that basis.

Trump in all his H1-Bi Glory. Read and weep. Oh, how’s that Wall Money coming?


So far Lou Dobbs is the only person I have heard discussing this—and he has been awake for some time...

I am not happy about this. I know there are discouraged middle-aged tech professionals who have dropped out of the labor force who should be filling these supposed jobs.

Like so mamy of the weasels who post on FR, several of them right here on this thread tonight. They will not support Trump no matter what, even with our country at stake. They hate Trump so much, they would rather see America burn under a hillary administration then see Trump succeed. It's disgusting really.

Trump should be judged by the only that matters, results.

With only a minor reduction in refugee numbers, no reduction in legal immigration (and promised INCREASES), and a massive surge in illegal immigration - the results are very poor.

Being pro LEGAL immigration makes one a globalist? I hadn’t heard that one before.

Trunp is the only one fighting to secure the border, THE ONLY ONE. The dems, the repubs the entire executive, legislative and judicial branches and the msm are all fighting tooth and nail for open boarders. But all you can do is bitch that Trump is not getting the results fast enough for you. If anybody has failed anybody, it’s people like you failing America and Trump.
