Yes, and they should be ignored. They’re not the final authority or arbiter on the Constitution. It’s amazing how much damage has already been done to the separation of powers by kowtowing to these tyrannical pipsqueaks.

Didn’t we bail them out in 2008?

Yes, and they all repaid the loans. JP Morgan didn’t even want the bailout but was forced to take it. Regardless, they paid it back in short order.

If I was Queen, I would change a LOT of things but the courts are part of our system of government. Like it or not, they have say and there are plenty of liberal judges more than happy to legislate from the bench.

You can't just say "they should be ignored". That does not address the issue we are discussing.

“You can’t just say “they should be ignored””

Yes, I did. It’s that easy. When you have a branch of government(judicial branch) violating the separation of powers and the Constitution, you ignore them. I would round them up in the dead of the night and ship these black robed tyrants to gitmo, but I’m a softy that way.

Otherwise we have what we have now a judicial tyranny.

Charge $10 per head coming into USA. That’s $10 million a day. People pay toll’s all the time.

Sell off the entire oil reserve, use that to pay for the wall, then restock the reserve with the lower priced oil on the market today.

So the claim goes. But one has to wonder, if the crash was as severe as claimed to make money available for bailout purposes, was the bailout really necessary or were the funds really repaid? Something is amiss of at least has the appearance of being so. Not really one for conspiracy theories, but I have seen numerous false flags delivered in my many years on this planet.

Thank you very much, hapnHal. You made my day and kick started 2019 for me.

Yes, indeed, I have seen this idea of Wall Bonds here on FR a few times.

Rep. Palazzo’s bill was introduced about a week after your post.

In fact, I have contacted the White House twice about funding the Wall, etc.
My first plea came before President Trump reluctantly signed that awful Omnibus bill (which at least funded the Military) last year.
At least, my recent emotional entreaty, ahead of the shutdown, garnered more positive results.

I will keep speaking out to the White House and keep praying that our wonderful POTUS achieves his goals of establishing border security and overhauling our horrible immigration system.

Thanks again for the kind words.

I think that’s exactly right, I forgot about that. Activist judges would tie the thing up in the courts for the next century which to me is pretty outrageous. What if a foreign army was head towards our borders with tanks, a million man sized army, is our self defense going to be tied up in the courts?

What could go wrong? Well for one an illegal alien might win. State in the lottery rules that only bona fide citizens can claim winnings. :)

The discussion I was having was about what Trump did or did not do in his first two years, thus, McCain.

Does anybody frigging read for context before posting?

Fair enough!

I guess we’ll never know whether Trump “did enough” to pressure McConnell.
