BTW, Zen Master has been 100% right on all his predictions and/or analysis of legal matters over the last two years.

[Lurker]

Very encouraging. Thanks.

Do you know, or does the Zen guy know what exactly has happened with Justice Roberts?

Let's just say the Roberts has been inconsistent at best. Which has caused trouble in the past, and could throw a monkey wrench into all this.

Should be an interesting 2 years for sure

So, with all that being true, we will hear lots of noise about law suits. We will hear little, perhaps nothing, about the results of the lawsuits.

So, money is not totally fungible. It depends on which pot it is stored in

[outofsalt]

Sounds good. Thanks for sharing!

It is also 100 percent true that the Dems can do whatever they please with no regard for law or standards or precedent or anything else that applies to Republicans, and get clean away with it.
So I won’t be surprised if they bring the case to a friendly venue before they should. Nobody ever stops them. Ever.

[Jet Jaguar]

Bump.

[SisterK]

Thanks for the optimistic post.

and aggrieved party

What kind of bizarro argument could possibly prove aggrieved?

[CincyRichieRich]

Thanks, Larry, this is great analysis, salient, and realistic...

I’m gonna turn on the sarcasm for the many self-agrieved Freepers who may have to put down their razorblades and childhood copies of, “Chicken Little”.

I’m not sure Anne Coulter will read this as it won’t be conducive to selling her repetitive books.

IMO, the most glaring aspect to any challenge to the President’s statutory authority to declare a national emergency is summed up in another one of your tweets:

” Zen Master thinks that suit will fail because a judge would ask why they (the members) don’t rescind the statutory authority granted to the president “

So, with all that being true, we will hear lots of noise about law suits. We will hear little, perhaps nothing, about the results of the lawsuits.

Thanks for the post.
I sincerely hope Zen Master’s streak continues.

All the nonsense and delays could be avoided if Trump used his clear constitutional authority and simply ordered the Army Corp of Engineers to build a security barrier /wall along the southern border. In fact it could have been completed by now without Trump signing a bill that impaired Federal law enforcement and enhanced the legal standing of migrants who barge into the country.

[Chewbarkah]

Based on this logical presentation, why did President Trump make all this noise about declaring a state of emergency NOW? Why not spend the $1.375B appropriation and $3.1 B before making a DoE, demonstrating the benefits, then declare emergency to fund the remaining part?

Is it:
1) Declaration issue distracts from Trump signing this mega-spending, capitulating to Democrats bill?
2) Once large sections of wall have already been built, the emergency will be greatly diminished (shameless Democrats will likely say it has worked so well, we don’t need any more).

You may want to ping you list

Great informative post. Pardon my ignorance, but who or what is zen master?

Zen Master is assuming our Constitution gets properly followed.

I hope Zen Master is right about that.

[Uncle Miltie]

So build the parts in judicially awful 9th circuit with early non-challengeable money.

Use the last challenge able money in a favorable judicial circuit.
