If it gets to a veto, then Trump vetos, and on a concurrent resolution . . . note, NOT the budget resolution-—Trump would sustain that veto in both houses.
As I argue, he likely would NOT sustain a budget veto in both houses because they are desperate to get gubment open again.
Big difference in what the Congresscritters are voting on.
"Pelosi and Schumer gave us directions to electoral college states."
"We're already registered to vote Democrat."
Republicans are dense when it comes to messaging. They should have been in front of the microphones in 30 seconds last weekend braying about how Trump made Nancy cave on funding for the wall. She said repeatedly no money for the wall and then gave him 1.375 billion. Trump made Nancy cave so SHE LOST this one.
thanks. I understand. I still haven’t heard\seen proof that President Trump signed that bill.
Still not shown as “Became Law”

The budget vote in both house was veto-proof.
I wasn’t asking about that.
I was speaking only to the National Emergencies Act process for a Declaration vs. your Zen Master’s weigh-in - and how does congress get to by-pass the existing process, as the law is spelled out, by first taking it to court ?
After the money has been voted on by Congress? Congress has to okay it again, for a second time?
arg...I just saw this - so never mind my comment about the budget.
I wonder why the web site wasn’t updated.

Pretty sure I Heard Rush say Friday that the WH announced it had signed the bill.
In my non-lawyer opinion you are 100 percent correct. There is no court justification on this. It is only a Congressional matter. If they fail to override the Declaration then there should be NO standing in any court for any one.

“I predict that a liberal judge on some District Court will declare the Emergency Unconstitutional, even if the judge has no grounds to do so. You know why? Because there is no downside to the judge and only upside.”
You are right because we NEVER impeach and remove a federal judge. We should have at least one impeachment of a federal judge going on at all times for failure to follow the clear intent of the constitution and various legislation. Take a couple of them off the bench and the others will probably develop a new attitude.
Im off the net traveling for another week.
Stay safe
