They were talking 2/5. 1/29 was too soon to make arrangements.

It is not a matter of how Roberts will vote, it is the nature of the case that will make it an emergent matter.

As far as the result, of course no one can predict with any certainty the vote of any Justice, but the fact is that the law passed on this subject is clear: the President has both the power to unilaterally declare an emergency related to foreign threats to our nation, and to take funds from the DoD to pay for construction deemed essential to help positively resolve the emergency.

Laugh all you want, it won’t change the law.

Thanx but today’s courts will do what they want. We have seen that in other immigration and national security issues. He should tell the courts to buzz off.

Courts will decide the degree of urgency. Not you or me or Trump.

If the president declares a national emergency and used the 7 billion from the military budget there will be no need to “shut down the government.”

“He should tell the courts to buzz off.”


If nothing else, at least we agree on this.

Never Trumpers

Nonsense -Gateway Pundit has been vigorously pro-Trump since at least well before the GOP convention.

If he’s been caving to them, they have had a very conservative agenda the last 2 years.

“The unions said pilots and flight attendants were in danger. If security was breached, it would be President Trump’s fault. Can you blame him for giving in to this?”

what happen to Ronald Reagan when he fired all the air traffic controllers? does this have relevance?

Regardless of what happens in the future, whether the wall is built via other means, this event is a complete, unconditional surrender.

“Look up the term “unconditional” and get back to me.”

Name a condition Trump set, and the Democrats met.

Just one.
