Jonathan Turley on Trump’s emergency declaration: ‘Democrats will lose’ on merits of case​

Legal expert Jonathan Turley on Trump’s emergency declaration: ‘Democrats will lose’ on merits of case
By Jon Dougherty ~~ George Washington University Law School professor Jonathan Turley, a noted constitutional expert, explained the difference on Friday between President Barack Obama’s legal case involving lawsuits against Obamacare and President Donald Trump’s national emergency declaration.
“They’re using the case where I represented the House of Representatives against Obamacare. And we won. But this is not the same case,” Turley said on “Fox & Friends.
“What President Obama did was order the Treasury essentially to be opened up and to pay insurance companies. That’s a different type of funding.”
“What Trump is going to do is he’s going to use money that was appropriated by Congress. It just doesn’t have these tight conditions on them. That’s Congress’ decision to make. They can appropriate money and not put many conditions on.
“So it’s going to be a different fight,” Turley continued.... The president himself essentially laid out the legal strategy that will be employed by his political opponents on Friday when he announced he would use an emergency declaration to secure funding for the border wall. He said he believes he’ll be sued — most likely in the Leftist 9th Circuit, where he’ll lose the first few rounds — but will eventually prevail at the U.S. Supreme Court.


~~~~~~
Wall construction and litigation is perfectly timed to be a 2020 election issue. Americans by 70% support a wall to defend against criminal invasion.
Both on Statutory and Constitutional grounds, PDJT wins this one.... hands-down. They will undoubtedly find several judges who will be more than willing to execute a corrupt bargain with the Democrats. But, the attempts will be quickly swept aside probably without any effect on the schedule. This will end up as a Supreme Court Decision.
Progressive Marxist Socialist Democrats are just alienating themselves more and more the average American voter with all this commie-leftist and anti-American bullcrap, overt obstructionism and resistance.

Some are saying even the 9th circus will not stop this executive order....

If the dems would have bargained in good faith and compromised they wouldn't be looking like idiots. This is one case where Trump bests Nancy and Chuck. Woohoo! Lets see how the MSM spins it, it surely won't be a legit Trump legislative victory.

Turley also thought Mexico would pay for the wall. He’s even dumber than the dotard.

Anyone who actually thought democrats would begin their control of the house by caving in to Trump is an idiot. The cases opposing Trump's use of defense funds that have been allocated for other purposes do not have to win, they just have to last longer than two tears.

Fine with me. The next president will need to declare a real national emergency for climate change. These lawsuits will just make it that much easier.

Turley is probably my favorite "pundit" (okay, granted, that's not a high bar), and I'm a little surprised he's saying this.

And yeah, we'll see "national emergency" declarations on both climate change and guns.

These people are so short-sighted. Maybe it's the water in DC.

Give me an example where the dems can re-purpose approved funding to do anything on climate change. Trump reallocated about $7b that the courts need to agree with. If the next dem president goes nuts with his emergency, the courts will not allow it.
