Funny how it was never alarming when Obummar had his pen and phone! The senatorial nuclear option was JUST FINE when Harry Reid invented it. ONLY NOW with the "madman" Trump at the helm do we raise our eyebrows of consternation!

Good Golly Miss Molly, let's hope it is. Not that my rights are at any risk, but woe be unto the Far Left who could lose their ability to say and do anything they damn well please, print anything they want, make any accusation, and never have it challenged or questioned or held ACCOUNTABLE?! Sucks to be you.

Good, he needs to declare martial law and start rounding all you traitors up. Military tribunal and then immediately carry out the sentence.

Or not.

The problem is Senate Republicans who lack the courage and integrity to support legislation to terminate the ‘emergency’ declaration, and to vote to override Trump’s subsequent veto.

Yeah like Obama when he threatened to put journalist in jail, and dubya when he banned protesters at his speeches. Dicks.

We don't know they won't support terminating the declaration. Give them a chance.

Jim, you ask too much to have an intelligent conversation on this topic with Trumpers. They have their heads so far up Trump's ass that they have declared citizenship there.

Congressional power has been slowly eroding over the past 20 years. W. had his signing statements. Obama had his executive orders. Now Trump has pushed the boundaries further than ever with a bogus national emergency declaration.

It is a very bad precedent and everyone should be concerned. National emergencies has always been a favorite of dictators and other despots that have upended other republics going back to the Romans. The saving grace with Trump is Trump's stupidity and incompetence.

One thing we know from history is once power is taken away from the people it is rarely ceded back. Trumpers are way too dense to see that or care. All that matters to them is the here and now.

I agree with the sentiment that this national emergency ploy is a radical over reach by Trump, but I’m much more concerned on what a socialist or communist Democratic President will use this power than a Republican one.

Just wait until a Democratic President....one not elected with Russian help....calls. National Emergency for Climate Change.

AND SCIENCE UPHOLDS IT IN COURT.
