More FAKE EMERGENCIES from a fake “president.” He is like the guy who calls 9-1-1 because KFC got his order wrong.
The very first words of the U.S. Constitution after the Preamble — the first words of the actual body of the Constitution — the first words of the first paragraph of Article I Section 1 are: “All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.”
The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled repeatedly that the Congress CANNOT DELEGATE legislative authority — the making of laws — to the Executive. It CAN create agencies in the Executive that promulgate detailed rules, but ONLY within strictly defined parameters that constitute the actual legislation.
The Emergency Powers Act gives the president broad power to define “emergencies.” But the word “emergency” does have meaning. If not, it means the president has the power to legislate, thus making the Act unconstitutional. And “emergency” cannot include a situation of political face-saving on border issue politics, when:
• Illegal border crossings have decreased every year for the last ten years
• illegal border crossings are at a 46-year low
• more Mexican Americans last year LEFT the U.S. and returned to Mexico than came here
• lowest number of undocumented residents since 2000
• you admit that “I didn’t have to do this” (that means it’s not an “emergency”)
• the National Intelligence Estimate recently issued earlier this month, defining threats to national security, DID NOT EVEN MENTION THE SOUTHERN BORDER
But go ahead, Donald. When we replace you with a Democratic president, watch for “national emergencies” on climate change, gun death epidemic and health care.
So singith the trumpster ( a tune that is stuck in my craw now)…. da dah de dah CIRCUIT de de duh de da RULING da da de duh da RULING dum dum de dum COURT da da de dum da SHAKE dit dit da de da COURT……(a needed addition-) du da dum de dump de TRUMP…..
In 1933. Hitler burned down the Reichstag Building, blamed it on the Communists, declared a National Emergency, took dictatorial powers and the Reichstag did nothing about it and that was the death of Democracy in Germany.
Replace 1933 with 2019, Hitler with Trump, Reichstag Building with Border Wall, Communists with Mexicans and Reichstag with Retrumplican Senate and the United States for Germany. Too many parallels for you Trump supporters to follow?
It was a nice republic while it lasted. Welcome to the 4th Reich.
But frivolous 9-1-1 callers are always naive, dissociative, spectacularly full of a sense of entitlement, immature, and.. oh, wait. Perfect, Mr. Stahler. Perfect.

Well, see, there you go. Don’t you realize Buttercup can’t handle 7 numbers. He thought he was dialing the kitchen.

Expected life time = 90 days. Final count = 15 years. Return of effort = immeasurable Thank you
Nothing Buttercup ever does will stack up to that.

Maybe the rest of us should be calling 911 yelling, “get that darned clown out of the white house!”

Operator: “Yes, Mr. President, it’s spelled C-O-N-S-T-I-T-U-T-I-O-N, it’s the supreme law of the U.S. and really needs to be followed”.

Three shifts, round the clock; three women with soothing voices assigned to take the POTUS’ emergency calls and rock him back to non-sentience.

Do YOU know what can be done by a president without his having to worry about the laws if this State of Emergency is allowed to stand? No? Then here:
