Get ready for a legal battle. Liberal jusdges are waiting on standby.
If this is true, then I see splody heads in the democrats future.

If he hasn’t read every d*** page of the bill, he’d better NOT sign it. There’s no telling what other crap has been stuck in it by the dems AND the Pubs.
Mrs. Shepard Smith is having a hissy fit on his MSNBC program (that airs on Fox News).
HA HA HA HA!!! AWESOME!!!
I wonder if Pres. Trump knows Veto is not a mafia hit man ?
Veto the bill and declare the national emergency.
There is no plan.
We were in the same place a year ago and told “wait until next year”.
Now we have Pelosi in charge of the house. We’ve had months knowing that would be the case.
If Trump had spent the last year developing a plan it would have been deployed by now. Either it’s not legally possible or he doesn’t have a plan.
“We the people” may get lucky and things work out with better border security. But it’s not by plan or negotiation.
After any massive cave-in, lots of bad things can be expected to happen...
It's almost like a 2nd coming of "Read my lips, NO new taxes!"... George must be giggling in his grave...
FR’s Own NeverTrumpers, should be flooding this thread in mere moments with their brilliance of what they would’ve done, and how Trump is wrong here.
They are saying he can move discretionary funding around somewhat without going through Congress. They also said they’ve identified more than 5.7 bil he wanted.
They are also saying the Dems might block cloture on the bill now. LOL
Signing the bill will make it less likely that use of his present power to build the barrier will be upheld by the courts. See this discussion of the Youngstown case:

Excerpt:
Robert Jackson[edit]
Jackson’s opinion took a similarly flexible approach to the issue, eschewing any fixed boundaries between Congress’ and the President’s power. Jackson divided Presidential authority vis-à-vis Congress into three categories (in descending order of legitimacy):
Cases in which the President was acting with express or implied authority from Congress
Cases in which Congress had thus far been silent, referred to as a ‘zone of twilight’
Cases in which the President was defying congressional orders (the “third category”)
By signing the bill, Trump may be putting his future actions in the third category, which is less likely to result in a victory for Trump. Does he have any attorneys telling him this?
Veto! and issue National Emergency
BNL news on twitter is reporting that he won’t sign the bill. True or not... I do not know.
Would not be shocked if Dems derail the compromise bill in anger and it does not pass.
More legislation passed before reading it.
Perhaps he should just do the declaration - at long last - with a quick tweet why the bill is krap
Happy Wall Day!
They were saying Carter still has funding provided a national emergency he declared.
HOR will fight him on the national emergency declaration. LOL
Pelosi seems nervous. I bet the Dems block cloture. LOL
