Mr. President, your declaration of a border emergency on the southern border was clearly authorized under the law, and consistent with past precedent.

As you said, the National Emergencies Act directly authorizes the president—gives broad discretionary authority to the President, to identify and respond to emergent circumstances that require a decisive response. And the humanitarian and security crisis that we have on the border right now, is exactly the kind of emergency that Presidents are permitted to address under the National Emergencies Act.

As you eluded to yourself, over the past 40 years, there have been 59 emergencies declared. And many of these have dealt with political conditions like in Burundi, Sierra Leone, Belarus..

The crisis we’re dealing with today is right on our doorstep and presents a real clear and present danger to the American people. So what you’ve done is solidly grounded in the law and from the standpoint of protecting the American people, it’s imperative.

Isn't that called a smack down?

Yet many here said Barr was a horrible pick and Trump was stupid for picking him!!

“As you eluded to yourself,“

The word is “allude”.

Editing is dead.
