Pelosi To GOP: A Democratic President Could Declare National Emergency On Guns

[bripat9643]

The House speaker warned Republicans about the precedent Trump could set by declaring a national emergency to secure border wall funding.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Thursday warned about the dangerous precedent President Donald Trump could set if he declares a national emergency to secure funding for his border wall.

“I know the Republicans have some unease about it, no matter what they say,” Pelosi told reporters at the Capitol. “Because if the president can declare an emergency on something that he has created as an emergency, an illusion that he wants to convey, just think of what a president with different values can present to the American people.”

Pelosi said the situation at the U.S.-Mexico border doesn’t constitute an “emergency,” as Trump has framed it, but rather a “humanitarian challenge.”

“You want to talk about a national emergency?” Pelosi said. “Let’s talk about today, the one-year anniversary of another manifestation of the epidemic of gun violence in America. That’s a national emergency.”

Pelosi was referring to the Feb. 14, 2018 mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. She noted that a Democratic president could declare a national emergency on gun violence and warned Republicans to carefully consider the precedent Trump would set by using his executive power to override Congress.

“Democratic presidents can declare emergencies as well,” Pelosi said. “So the precedent that the president is setting here is something that should be met with great unease and dismay by the Republicans.”

What goes around comes around. Go Nancy!

You can't declare a national emergency to violate the Constitution, you fucking moron.

Although Trump has created a humanitarian crisis at the border - there is no national emergency.

To actually see progressive communists get their azzes exterminated would be laughable. There is politicians on issues that change every several months. Mafia Nancy!

Trump the reckless, irresponsible tinpot dictator.

Obama declares 31 national emergencies. What does that make him?

Which is why Republicans don't dare let him get away with this.

As if Democrats need permission from Trump to violate the Constitution.

Rightwing bigots don’t care about the facts.

All they care about is focusing on their fear, bigotry, and hate.

Actually my bet is to the next time a mass shootings incident happens under a democratic president this will be the inevitable reaction.

That is interesting. According to ICE about 1800 people in the US have been killed by illegal immigrants. And according to the CDC 39,773 Americans were killed by firearms. So if this is a national emergency, what happens with 22 times the number of deaths attributed to something killing Americans? Could a national emergency be declared that people still have the right to firearms less deadly than a pellet gun only?

Same could be said on the effects of climate change on weather, backed by scientific data. That's a much higher death toll as well. Should a national emergency be declared to fund renewable energy and shutter coal?

Lung Cancer kills 300k a year. Should cigarette sales be a national emergency to shut them down?

Diabetes and heart disease are hundreds of times more deadly than this emergency, should a national emergency limit sales of red meat and shut down the soda industry?

Lack of healthcare kills hundreds of thousands of Americans. Should a national emergency be declared to completely socialize healthcare.

White Supremacists accounted for the majority of extremist killings the past 15 years. Should those groups be banned under a national emergency, and anyone supporting them be locked up?

It's an interesting box of worms to try and open.

You have to scratch your head when the crazy left thought it was fine and dandy for Obama to declare some sort of national emergency on guns by shipping over 3,000 illegal weapons to Mexico and losing track of them. At least one of the weapons was used to murder a U.S. Border Officer which makes Obama one of the most prolific gun law violators and an accessory to murder.

 

[Wry Catcher]

Just when you think that Peloski couldn't possibly say something any more absurd and idiotic.....

Of all the stupid comments you've made, this one tops the cake.

Trump and his defenders argue that every recent president has declared emergencies — but none has done so because Congress refused to fund a pet project.

WASHINGTON — While the six previous presidents collectively declared dozens of national emergencies, Donald Trump’s one over a border wall would be the first to finance an unpopular construction project that congresses in both his own country and a neighboring one have refused to pay for.

Big difference


Trump and conservatives have the men

It will be men who decides what after this settles down

Actually that is a lie, but nice try, luckily we have them on paper. He declared 10. And all 10 have been renewed by Trump, and 0 of the 10 were opposed by a bipartisan Congress who voted against it, but rather immediate events causing the need for an immediate response. Stopping support of groups like Los Zetas, MS-13 Somalian Pirates, terrorists, cyber terrorists, cartels.

This is what the last 24 national emergencies declared have been. An issue arises in a country. A military takeover killing civilians, a breakout of a gang or terrorist cell. A national Emergency is declared for this new issue that allows a quick and firm reaction against it. So yes... This one is a LOT different.

I believe this one is different also as this is the first one where the President in his private businesses actually is causing the national emergency he declares by providing a reward for the illegal immigrants in jobs with his companies for decades. Would be like a president who's private business was selling drugs for decades using MS-13 then declaring a national emergency against drug smuggling at the border.

The men are with trump

And the men are waking up to force their will one way or the other

 

[nat4900]

f you so said offered him 25 billion before, why not just offer it again? And Trump ran on the wall. The wall funding was tied to DACA which he did not support. He wanted a clean bill on the wall and one never came,

"Why not offer it again" to the "great deal maker," you ask???

Simple......the original proposal included the DACA.......AND, who the hell rejected that original proposal ???

Because the world has a 'right' to enter our country, but the people have no 'right' to own fire arms.

Yeah, try and sell that as an emergency.

Doesn't matter.... He can only win by doing it even if the courts block it ...

It's a brilliant move.

Guns are a constitutional right. There is no constitutional right to enter our country illegally.

There is a constitutional right for immigrants to seek asylum in the U.S. - but Trump is making that difficult to impossible. Do whites really believe they can stop the browning of America with such unpatriotic tactics?

They have no right to asylum. Those are orchestrated groups.
