To: morphing libertarian

Well lets post a bit of that article here.....

The Founders wisely didn’t try to limit the government’s power to deal with crises and emergencies. Because the “circumstances that endanger the safety of nations are infinite,” Alexander Hamilton warned in Federalist 23, “no constitutional shackles can wisely be imposed on the power.”

The Supreme Court has ‘never overturned a national emergency’ declaration, even in cases less dire than the situation at the southern border.

Section 2808 of Title 10 of U.S. law provides authority to build a wall: When a national emergency “requires use of the armed forces,” the Defense Department “may undertake military construction projects . . . not otherwise authorized by law that are necessary to support such use of the armed forces.”
