Would Declaring A State Of Emergency 'Set A Bad Precedent'?

[boedicca]

I'm more concerned about the precedent set by the Obama admin of spying on a presidential campaign of the opposing party and then setting up embeds to attempt a coup after the spied upon candidate won anyway.

Just wondering...do two diametrically opposed people post on your USMB account?

You must be making the very common mistake of confusing me with bodecea .

She is my evul twin with a beard from the anti-matter universe. I was here first.

Names are similar but different posters. This one you are addressing is an idiot.

Charming as always, you silly little kniggit.

Just imagine some lunatic Democrat President that was beholding to Environmental wackos like Tom Steyer that would declare "man made global warming" to be a disaster and do all kinds of really really unnecessary stupid things that would really fuck up our economy?

Even though the crisis at the border needs to be fixed and God bless Trump for working it we really don't want to set a precedence because the Liberals will fuck up the country if they had the power to do anything they want.

So why didnt he declare it an emergency 2 years ago?

Feb. 15th.

So why didnt he declare it an emergency 2 years ago?

Now your just being silly.

Why would he when he stand a good chance of getting the wall build.

He would have declared it an emergency because thats what he is saying now that the Dems have the house. If he had a good chance why did he wait 2 years to decide its an emergency?

LMAO He hasn't declared it an emergency yet. And I wouldn't worry about it until and if he does.

I'm not worried. I'm just pointing out the fact that its not an emergency if you wait 2 years to decide its an emergency.

These illegals cost us billions in tax dollars every year.

They kill American citizens every year.

They mule drugs into the country every year.

They work under the table and bring wages down every year.

If you don't believe these assholes are an emergency then you are a fool.

They work under the table and bring wages down every year.

That's the only thing accurate about your diatribe...and an "emergency" doesn't go on for decades...this has.

How many of them did Drumpf renew?

Thank you for admitting that Barry issued 13, 1 over Burundi, & thus the OP's thread is mere fake news BS whining from Trump-Haters.

All of the national emergencies were related to international affairs. None of them directly contradict the Constitution. Spending money to build a wall without Congressional authorization directly contradicts the Constitution which grants Congress power of the purse.

WTF.

Interesting story in Arizona when a smuggler using a ladder help 100 people climb over a fence

Another story about a week ago of people tunneling under the wall

All indicating the fallacy of a wall just to mention a few

Smuggler know this and that is why tunnels are discovered by border patrol and I guess a few have ladders

Declaring a state of emergency because he wants to build a wall when it has so many ways that it can be defeated is a political stunt

Is like declaring that I am proud to shut down the government

It just doing something for a political expediency

without examining alternatives or doing a feasibility study

It is like Homer saying "Doh"

or yelling fire in a theater just to get a better seat

There are over 2 million burglaries a year.

Clearly, locks and doors are pointless because some defeat them ....
/sarcasm

Yes, that argument is asinine.

The rock outside my house is racist too....

Since everything to you guys seems to be racist just because. The word is pointless these days - most people don't even seem to know what the word even means.

How did you even pull racist from that?

FACT: Everywhere a wall is used illegal attempts to cross drop 90%.

FACT: UNTIL THE INCENTIVES TO COME HERE ILLEGALLY ARE ELIMINATED IT WILL CONTINUE:

Border Wall

No more Catch & Release. Those caught crossing should be immediately deported, not released into the US.

E-Verify must be STRICTLY enforced.
- Heavy fines with a '3rd Strike' penalty of your company's doors getting landlocked shut for 6 months to a year.

NO Welfare, no SS, no Unemployment for Illegals - who aren't even supposed to have a job here.

All medical expenses should be paid for out of and Foreign aid planned / allotted.

The wall should be paid for by foreign aid, not paid to Socialist dictators / governments like Much to / Venezuela who screw their people, collapse their govt, and send thousands of illegals to the US each month!

Those liiving here already should NEVER be allowed to vote because they came here illegally, never paid their dues by being legally punished. Want to vote? Go back home & come here legally.

 

[Papageorgio]

More like 22 million illegals.

Hey you're only off by a factor of 2. Damn good by Trumper standards. 11 million and a bunch of them have worked for TRUMP for years

Oh and I wonder how you're going to feel when President Harris declares an emergency because (for instance) we have had 25 mass shootings in the first month of 2019 and wants executive action to address guns when Congress won't do it...

Eh?

Do you have a link to those mass shootings and what the criteria is?

Thanks. He probably thinks the word "niggardly" is racist as well.

Initially I did believe it would be a bad precedent but that has changed upon further thought. Unfortunately we've reached a point where all precedents have gone out the window and neither party has any character to uphold.

 

[Vandalshandle]

Trump using emergency powers to build the wall does not necessarily create a bad precedent. As soon as we elect a democrat, he can use emergency powers to tear it down in order to protect migrating wildlife.

Yeah yeah. I've heard all the horror stories but it still doesnt explain why its suddenly an emergency.

Because it is not.

An emergency is, by definition, something that happens.
An emergency is not, by definition, something that can be predicted

Or confiscate firearms.

I mean thanks for admitting that you want to confiscate firearms, but even a national emergency can't do away with the second amendment.

Though it is true that a Democratic President has actually removed the rights of American's via Executive Order once before so this would not be a precedent
