F***ing despicable traitors.
Go to Hell, Mike Lee.

...... Well .... My guess is that Most who are trying to stop Trump from keeping the US a Powerful and Sovereign Nation have signed on to the UN Agenda 2030 which is basically the UN’s Recipe for Global Socialism which is the power behind much of what is driving the Leftward race to Socialism ...
no this is great. Trump gets to do it but future presidents can’t!! GREAT!!
Supposedly the republicans gained 2 or 3 Senate seats. But it appears as thought we lost a bunch.
“Trump’s emergency declaration has sparked a widespread discussion among Senate Republicans about if they should change the National Emergencies Act. Though Republicans largely support Trump on border security they are concerned that a future Democratic president will use his precedent to force through issues like climate change or gun control.”
Obvious differences: building the wall is Constitutional, and it is lawful, and it is specifically appropriated and merely underfunded. Congress never reversed itself on the need for a wall; only the Democrats did.
Climate change executive orders under emergency declarations would be required to be lawful and Constitutional orders—something they never would be if they were not specifically authorized by Congress in the first place.
A declared emergency in which a future president attempts to confiscate guns would be unlawful AND unconstitutional.
Apples and oranges.
Never underestimate an Anti-Trumper’s capacity for treatery and self-defeating stupidity (Paul Ryan as archetype).
FKG Mormons!
What a bunch of losers.
McConnell has already ascertained the House won’t have the votes to override a certain veto. So what’s the point?
Funny how these assholes are not concerned about the other THIRTY emergency declarations still in effect - or DACA for that matter. All these bastards need to be primaried - especially the Mormon retards.
"Lee's legislation would not impact Trump's current emergency declaration on the wall but, if passed, would impact any future emergency declarations."
Lee and the others know Republicans won't always control the Executive. Pelosi's already threatened emergency action on gun control, and other Dems see an emergency declaration as a great way to enforce whatever nutty schemes they may have regarding global warming nonsense. I see this as forward-thinking legislation.
I h8 these people. I really do..
I mean REALLY
None of the people he campaigned for.
Our nation ensures chaos, by allowing no executive decision making even for national emergency. GOP are dummies
Or…
If they were intellectually honest about this, they'd change the underlying law that allows redistribution of funds, or the law that authorizes emergency declarations.
But nooooooo…
They want to keep THOSE laws and just change the ability to rebuke a President for exercising them.
I can see a SCOTUS challenge that says that a law to override a declaration of emergency is unnecessary since Congress delegated the authority in the first place and has the power to decide the limits of that declaration at the outset.
They can't delegate the authority and then put backsies on it, otherwise it's not really a delegation. That would cripple a President who is trying to react to an emergency, if Congress is back-seat driving the President every step of the way.
The proper channel is to restrict the original delegation or revoke it entirely and force Congress to exercise the power themselves.

I’ll make my calls and send emails tomorrow.
The party of the Galactically Stupid!
These repugnant useful idiots don’t seem to understand we’re in a war and that they are siding with the enemy.
We will have to see if this was okayed in order to keep enough GOP Senators from voting against the current emergency declaration in front of them.
