Emergencies do not trump the constitution

[MindWars]

After Congress rejected President Trump’s request for 5.7 billion dollars for the border wall, the president declared a national emergency at the southern border. Present Trump claims this “emergency” gives him the authority to divert funds appropriated for other purposes to building the border wall.
Emergencies Do Not Trump the Constitution

It's true, "emergencies" don't trump the Constitution.

But, aside from people like Ron Paul, those invoking the constitutional argument here have almost no use for the document when they're running the show.

Long and short of the matter is that the Constitution has pretty much been a dead letter for at least a generation.
