Looks like the RINOs (uniparty) are going to the wire against President Trump on this.

How fascinating.

I don’t recall any of them doing this to Obama.

They even left it to Texas to sue Obama over the DACA fraud.

All of a sudden they’re incensed about Presidential overreach?

They spent 8 years tolerating it.

So of all the National Emergencies you senatorial morons picked this one to take up this question? Please tell us Senator...which big-business donors of yours are concerned?

VETO! Got the pen and a phone. Also, House will stand by Trump. We weeded out a lot of RINOs and the minority dudes are “dug in” ala resistance and ready for the long slog!

None of obungholes eos were aimed at securing the border and stopping the flow of illegals into the country.

In this case there is an actual national emergency and there is a contitutional requirement to protect the border from invasion. We are being invaded by illegals who sh1t on our national laws.

I have a different take on this. The dems are bitching about the President exercising his emergency powers. Yet, they said not a peep when Obama declared an emergency left and right. So let them now get rid of this. Betcha they will find a way not to support it. Why? Because more than anything else they support “pen and phone” statist power. They want this when their guy gets back in power.

I notice they didn't do this under Obama.

Tells me everything I need to know.

Ted Cruz 🤢. I held my nose and voted for him because O’Rourke was chopping at his heels. President Trump saved his butt. After being safely re-elected for 6 years, he stabs him in the back. He’s hoping we have short memories. I don’t. I have not voted for “John Wayne McCoryn” in years!

Note that this is The Hill. Pres. Trump may not be the actual target of this bill. After reading it, the President might approve.

Don’t trust the HateTrump media on what this bill actually does.

for defense emergencies, President doesn’t need congressional approval
and any such law “requiring” same is unconstitutional, a president can simply ignore it (and the senators can go suck pickles)

I noted the usual suspects on the list of Senators—what a list of filthy losers. But then Ted Cruz? What's up with that? Did that dust-up with Beto affect his thinking?

And Thom Tillis seems to act like a lib at every opportunity; I'm surprised he's not out toppling Confederate monuments too. How that snake ever slipped past the people of NC is baffling.

I’m hoping that this is actually some judo, too.

Sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.

If we can drastically limit the emergency powers of the POTUS and build the wall anyway, it’s a win.

It’s all about illegals and yes, drug money.
