New York Times columnist Bret Stephens said on Friday he would "love to see" what Fox News host Sean Hannity would say if a future Democratic president declared "a national emergency over climate change" or for another reason.
Stephens made the comment on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," hours before Trump declared a national emergency in an announcement from the Rose Garden.
"The powers that Trump appropriates for himself now and that Republicans like Mitch McConnell willingly grant him are powers that future Democratic presidents are certainly going to seize using this as a precedent," Stephens said.
"And real conservatives already rue the day, but these faux conservatives are going to rue that day when they handed over so much power to an executive to act when he or she pleases," he continued.
"When Elizabeth Warren starts seizing banks or Kamala Harris declares a national emergency over climate change, I’d love to see what Sean Hannity has to say."

billy jeff still has 6 active from his regime.
their responses are predictable
...and telling.
Uh hum, does anyone truly believe that a liberal Democrat President would refrain from using a Declaration of Emergency because Republican Presidents wouldn’t approve? Really? Have we forgotten already how Obamacare was pushed through Congress? And wasn’t it Obama who had 13 National Emergencies?
They would have anyway.
When Elizabeth Warren starts seizing banks
Anyone know what the other 31 emergencies in effect are?
A fake emergency over climate change directly violates #Rule308. :-)
Were have these idiots been living the past 10 years ? That is exactly what Obama did.
Just let the democrats try to impose socialism through some fake emergency. Let them crash the economy unilaterally, and see what happens.
because for the Dems, it’s all about tit-for-tat without even a glancing nod to rational thought.
Thanks...
They will do it anyway.
And if the dems ever get back the senate they will change the filibuster rule, unlike cowardly republicans.
And if the dems ever control the house senate nad presidency again they will declare amnesty for all illegals and America will be finished.
= = = = = = = = = = =
And they will declare war on conservatives. Sites like this will probably become illegal.
