OTOH declaring an emergency even some conservatives are saying that would be unconstitutional. I don’t know if they are right or not.

Three weeks is not going to change anything. Looks to me like the dems have won. There will be no wall. Should have got it fully funded with repubs in congress.

He couldn’t because the GOP in Congress don’t want it funded, either.

There will be no "emergency declaration." Even if it was constitutionally sound it would be a disaster to defend in a court challenge because the situation there has been allowed to fester for two years already under this current president.

Instead, President Trump will construct sections of physical barriers along the border under the provisions of a Federal law that allows the use of military and/or law enforcement resources to construct barriers and install security measures to stop cross-border drug trafficking.

I actually wonder if Nancy Pelosi doesn't want to schedule the State of the Union address because she fears he's going to use that occasion to make this announcement.

There are a lot of politicians in Congress with an “R” by their name...That does NOT mean they are republican followers....
