Trumps hole card

[OKTexas]

Trump isnt smart enough to figure this one out so politicians do it for him - and Graham is a pissant politician

Republican Senator Graham: Trump should use emergency powers to fund wall

heres how this plays out;

Graham knows full well it will go to court FOR MONTHS and be rejected - Trump blames the court, yammers about how he tried and he is the only one who cares about national security - his base gets a chubby - the GOP saves face for shutting down the wall in Congress and BADA BING BADA BOOM on to the next phase of RW anti Iimmigration bullshit ...

Why would courts reject it?

9th circuit

They have no more jurisdiction than any other court.

Because what's happening at the border isn't an emergency.

I've noticed that people try to change the meaning of words in the English language. There are real meanings to the words we use. I really wish that people would use them.

Here's what the dictionary says the word emergency means.

\i-ˈmər-jən(t)-sē \
plural emergencies
Definition of emergency


1: an unforeseen combination of circumstances or the resulting state that calls for immediate action

2: an urgent need for assistance or relief the mayor declared a state of emergency after the flood

None of this is unforeseen. People have been coming over the border for decades. In fact, illegal border crossings have been declining for a decade and are at a 45 year low.

No one can put off an emergency. As it's definition says, you need to take immediate action. trump has been saying he can and would declare an emergency since December. If there was a real emergency then it would have been declared then. An emergency can't be put off for another day by definition.

All of this is an insult to all intelligent people left in America.

The future of the wall looks bright.

The future of this thread? Not so bright, will probably get closed in about 1 minute, a other bull-Shiete spam deflected.

The future of the wall is dim. It will never be built.

Wrong. Just because you as an anti-American bigot don't support it doesn't mean a thing.

How about because the Congress has to authorize the wall to be built. The Congress is the only body that can declare war and shut off funding for any military excursion.

You are the bigot. You want to keep them out because they are brown. A majority of Americans do not support a wall. You are the anti-America bigot.

Keep them out because they are ILLEGALS you MORON.

Clearly the skin color isn't worth much when right here we have a white virtue-signaling IDIOT who brags about his anti-Americanism yet wants to live here anyway.

You might want to read the statute, only congress with a majority vote can override a Presidential Emergency Declaration. The courts have no authority under the law to say shit. Congress gave the President the power and wrote the law where only they can take it away. Good luck on getting the majority vote in the senate.

.

The statute does not allow a President to spend money without Congressional approval. That is what the courts will rule on. They don't need a majority vote in the Senate. Lindsay Graham knows this and that is why he supports Trump declaring a national emergency.

You're right, it allows him to redistribute funds already approved by congress. It's a subtle difference, but it is a difference, and congress approved that in the law.

the same reason the SUPREME COURT rejected Truman during a WAR - HE HAS TO GO THROUGH CONGRESS !

Stop. That case is NOTHING like the current situation. Dude tried to take over the steel industry. Trump is building military fortifications.

Apples to Peanuts.

hide and watch Gomer.

the constitution is clear on this issue.

The current law was written in 1976, long after Truman.

.

the Constitution was written long before that AND HASNT BEEN AMENDED !!

What you fail to understand is the President was authorized by congress to move funds around in an emergency. They also gave only the President the power to declare an emergency. He has the authority, given to him by Congress, so far he has chosen not to exercise that authority.

.

What you fail to understand is he can move money around but he cannot spend it without Congressional authorization. And certainly not $5 billion.

Read the damn law and stop pulling crap out of your ass. Also 5 billion is pocket change in a 4.4 trillion dollar budget.

"I have the absolute right to declare a national emergency,” Trump told reporters outside the White House on Thursday. “The lawyers have so advised me. I'm not prepared to do that yet, but if I have to, I will. I have no doubt about it. I will."

There is no question Trump has the "right" to declare a national emergency. The issue is, is there a national emergency? If there is, what exactly is it? Also, notice the change in terminology. When all this began, Trump referred to the problem at our border as national security crisis. That has pretty much been debunked, so he changed it to a "national emergency," which can mean anything from forest fires to flooding to damage caused by a hurricane.

Is there a "national emergency" at our border? Trump visited the border today at McAllen, TX. It was pretty quiet. Nothing much happening. What exactly is the emergency? Trump himself called the problem a "humanitarian crisis" when he spoke to the nation Tuesday evening. A border wall is a very curious solution to a humanitarian crisis.

But there is a much bigger question. If Trump actually declares a national emergency and he uses funds meant for military use to build his wall, then what?

There is no doubt that his order will be challenged in the courts. How long will it take for the judicial process to play out? Will our government remained shuttered until Trump gets his money, if he gets his money? Or, will Trump use this as an excuse for backing down and allowing our government to function again?

If Trump declares a national emergency, bypassing Congress for funding and oversight, what if he wins the court battle? The answer to that question places our form of government at risk, which is exactly why Trump wanted to be President and why his base voted for him. Now he get his opportunity and Putin will be waiting for the results.

If the President wins the court battle, that would mean anytime he doesn't get his way, he can declare a national emergency and get whatever he wants. Is this what Republicans want Trump to do? What if he declares a national emergency, and cancels the 2020 election? If Trump wins this battle, do Republicans think there will never be a Democratic President?

Actually, if Trump wins this battle, that becomes a very real possibility. All a Republican President has to do is declare a national emergency.

Is this what McConnell wants?

Call it whatever you like but it`s still a waste off money. El Chapo isn`t the only Mexican who knows how to dig a tunnel. 3 tunnels have been found in the last month in Arizona.
Amid border-wall debate, third drug tunnel found in less than a month in Nogales

Trump needs to give Chuck and Nancy a "final offer", either negotiate in good faith for wall funding, or the wall becomes a national emergency before your exit the WH. It's that simple.
I also hope he funds the wall with a small tax/fee on "remittances" sent out of the US instead of using taxpayer dollars.

Why do we need a wall; does Government solve all problems for the right wing?
