I see where Brian is coming from on this, but a future liberal President couldn't declare a state of emergency over Global Warming, then implement a carbon tax, for example.

However, I suppose a future Liberal President could declare a national emergency over lack of health care, and spend money providing "Medicare for All."

I thought the same thing (about health care).

I see this has been put out as the new talking point:

“a future liberal President couldn’t declare a state of emergency over Global Warming”

Started by bubble boy?

There’s only a problem when you declare something that is not an emergency an emergency. Global warming is not an emergency.

Tens of thousands of people flooding your border is.

Officer Natalie Cornona, killed last night in Calif, after just TWO weeks on the job:

NOBODY will say anything about the perp other than the claim that "he was white".

Another Katie Steinle...?

Kilmeade says he wants Congress to compromise. Get people like Dick Durbin, Susan Collins and other reasonable types to take over the negotiations from Trump, Schumer and Pelosi.

Sometimes Kilmeade is humorous, other times he’s cringeworthy.

I’m sorry, this is a military crisis. This is a physical crisis.

If global warming or any other climate disaster occurs, we can declare and we do emergencies.

I wish these people, esp this guy, would STFU...

I doubt if Trump will listen to him, so why even waste the breath.

There can be no congressional approval, anyone failing to see this now is an idiot.

This is the same bull$hit argument that The Turtle uses in the Senate for not changing the rules there to facilitate approval of appointees and other things. There is NOTHING in the Constitution that demands that the Senate operate as it does, and with the direction of things today, you can bet that when and if the RATS get control of either the Senate or the Presidency, you can kiss these “rules” goodbye!
And as a corollary here, Trump needs to do everything in his power to remake our Judiciary, because that’s been the Left’s “trump card” in controlling the other two branches of government to achieve their Socialist/Marxist goals.

Trump would set a great precedent with this. A strong communication needs to be south that says our country is not a destination. Don’t pay the gangs to smuggle you, your children, your drugs or your daughters to America. And a strong precedent needs to be communicated that Businesses can’t hire slave labour.

If you worried about setting precedents for future “what if” scenarios nothing would ever get done. Half of the EOs issued by Trump could be considered precedent setters, for example, what would prevent President AOC in 20 years from issuing a ban on conservative websites similar to Trump’s travel ban?

The United States of America is well past the point where we need to worry about setting a new precedent. We’re at the point where my primary concern is avoiding the precedent set during 1861-1865. President Trump has to accomplish as much as possible toward restoring the rule of law, returning us to constitutional government, and protecting our borders, or we are very likely to face a catastrophe on a scale that few Americans today can imagine. So long as his actions are within existing law or within the boundaries set by the Constitution as written, potential later interpretations of a precedent should not be a concern at all.

I don’t think he would.

If he can do it for this purpose, than a Democrat President can do it for whatever.

If Congress doesn’t want him declaring an emergency over something like this, then they need to tighten up the law that allows for declaring national emergencies and spending money under them.

”… will say a state of emergency will be climate change,""

Noting that the states have never amended the Constitution to give the feds the specific power to police the environment, patriots need to do the following to limit the president's national emergency powers.

Patriots need to elect a patriot Congress in the 2020 elections that will amend the president’s national emergency powers to make the president’s emergency actions compliant with Congress’s constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers.

Also, regarding the border wall and Democratic politically global warming, note that the wall will put a stop to the carbon footprints that undocumented Democrats are bringing into the country.

As if the liberal democrats need a precedent to do their incoherent antics.

Has Brian Kilmeade changed parties recently?
He sounds better suited for the Morning Joe Show ever since the Judge Brett battle ended.
Maybe he wants out of his contract early.

What lack of health care? There is none. Whether you have insurance or not, you cannot be denied treatment.
