PaladinSolo Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 This also forces the senate to vote once the House votes to deny the emergency declaration, McConnell can't stop it from happening, and theres probably enough votes that it passes, forcing Trump to veto it.

It just sets the standard for a dem President to declare one for healthcare and fund medicare for all, and to declare a national emergency for gun control. Can’t wait to see the hypocrisy from republicans. Indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 5 minutes ago, Jason said: Trump Declares National Emergency to Build Border Wall https://nyti.ms/2V2h1dT Quote The declaration will enable Mr. Trump to divert $3.6 billion budgeted for military construction projects to the border wall, White House officials said. Mr. Trump will also use more traditional presidential budgetary discretion to tap $2.5 billion from counternarcotics programs and $600 million from a Treasury Department asset forfeiture fund.

SaysWho? Posted February 15, 2019 Author Share Posted February 15, 2019 I JUST tuned into the speech and this must be a doozy because he said something like, "I think Obama would have come to war with North Korea. In fact, he told me he was very close to starting a war with them." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea how SCOTUS would vote. Roberts can be an interesting wild card. Everyone here was convinced the ACA was fucked in 2012, and I don't know if anyone expected him to rule as he did on the recent abortion case. It's overall a conservative record but it's less conservative than when he started IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's overall a conservative record but it's less conservative than when he started IIRC. Most likely in favor of Trump if the Muslim ban is any indication. There are two points that would probably decide the thing..... 1. They decided the Muslim ban by accepting the pretextual justification from the Trump administration while ignoring substantial past comments on the grounds that as long as the order itself had a legally defensible effect it was ok. On its face, this sounds a hell of a lot like the judgement they are going to have to make here. 2. However, since there seems to be legitimate worry on the Right about what this precedent would mean longterm, SCOTUS may find some technicality to rule that the "take the pres at his word and respect his authoritah" applied to one but not the other.
