Randoo has his curlers on too tight again...
Intellectually, I get the reason behind wanting to disapprove.
That said, it’s an emergency and the USA is under siege, so I can swallow my Constitutional purism for the greater good.
This is a bogus comparison. Obama wasn’t acting under statutory authority. Trump is.

Cheaters gonna cheat, at least you lose with honor...
No he’s not right, not at all.
Rand Paul’s done nothing for America. Absolutely zilch, nada, nothing.
It’s the friking law as written by congress itself. FU rand you POS!
My recollection is that Timpf is a long time Open Borders Koch bros. clown.
Searched, but couldn’t find any time where the Republicans voted to nullify any of Obama’s National Security declarations. If they ever did, and anyone knows of them, can you please advise?
I called his office and the person answering the phone pretended to not know. I had to tell him that it NEVER happened. Overpaid morons.
Light up the phones. Call these clowns out.
The biggest emergency is that Congress has refused all sensible attempts to protect the American people from the consequences of an open border . . . and it’s about a whole lot more than illegal immigration.
The second emergency is the open border itself.
I guess Rand Paul, Ted Cruz, Mitt Romney and Mike Lee are all on the take from the open borders folks. If you ask me, “abuse of power” is a flimsy-a$$ excuse after all that Obama did.
In a related note, I am headed to Utah this weekend to ski for a week. Anybody know where I can get a good-looking cap or long-sleeve t-shirt that says “Mitt sux”????
This is Rand Paul’s MO....and then he turns around and votes with the President. He’s done it time after time.
Obama signed 12 national emergencies, didnt hear anyone make a fuss..Obama gave Iran, a TERRORIST REGIME, BILLIONS of OUR taxpayer dollars in the middle of the night, no one made a fuss..Trump wants to stop a total INVASION, HEY U CANT DO THAT
Abuse of executive power? How does that work exactly?
The POTUS enforces the law and he’s commander in chief of our armed forces in charge of national security. It’s the definition of executive power under the Constitution.
Oh, this will really show the Dems how to behave! After Rand Paul’s moral stand, no Dem would dare issue another Executive Emergency Order. Rand Paul for President!
I’d buy into this argument if congress ever stopped any other States of emergencies or even “Presidental over reach”. If the invasion of the country isn’t an “emergency” I’m not sure what would be. Hopefully Rand Paul loses next election as this is either a) Grandstanding to get on tv or B) he is getting money from Cheap Labor Express.
I sent emails to both my senators warning them of my wrath if they shiv the POTUS.
It’s a real EMERGENCY.
You’re either for border security or against it.
Navel gazing to determine the intent of the constitution is an intellectual exercise which ignores the reality on the ground.
