“The Justice Department has warned the White House a national emergency declaration is nearly certain to be blocked by the courts on, at least, a temporary basis, preventing the immediate implementation of the president’s plan to circumvent Congress and build the wall using his executives powers,” ABC News reports.

Washington Post: “House Democrats are gearing up to pass a joint resolution disapproving President Trump’s emergency declaration to build his U.S.-Mexico border wall, a move that will force Senate Republicans to vote on a contentious issue that divides their party.”

1. Should absolutely be blocked. rump has no authority shifting funds around to 'his' liking and ...

besides, it just points out his failure as a leader in getting funds appropriated like it should be normally done. Through the purse strings of Congress.

A big failure.

2. Trump, you're not a king. America isn't made that way.

Hell, you're not even a President, not really.

3. Tonight ought to be a real hoot inside the White House.

He was still thinking he had the winning hand to get his fooking wall. But now he has been told that maybe declaring an emergency isn’t the best idea. He will be stopped by the courts. So he will fume and rave tonight because he cannot get his way.

I hope there are cameras hidden all over the WH recording him pacing, cursing, ranting, grinding his phony teeth and, eating. Stuffing his pie hole with anything he can find. Eventually the recordings will be released. You know they will. We will be able to erase the national debt with ticket sales of this video. I would pay some serious coin to see them.

4. Except that Mitch McTurtle has

set himself up as the gatekeeper. Nothing gets voted on without him allowing it.

So, he essentially has veto power over literally everything.

He'll never bring it up. Never.

5. If that happens, the Dems will sue Trump

The first step will be introducing a “resolution of disapproval” in the House of Representatives, House Judiciary Chair Jerry Nadler told Washington Post congressional reporter Rachael Bade.

If their legislative branch response is blocked by Senate Republicans, House Democrats will then fight the state of emergency in the judicial branch by filing a lawsuit against the president.

6. Moscow Mitch can be impeached

If he wants to be a scofflaw like Puppetrump, he can be investigated and impeached like Puppetrump.

11. Oh that Moscow Mitch would

get his Karma in our life times!

[Hermit-The-Prog]

12. unprecedented times

We may get to see it. I want that smarmy rat's dirty deeds exposed.

[Cha]

13. That's the ol word for it, Hermit..

"unprecedented".. and in the worst way possible..

I fervently hope all his "smarmy rat's dirty deeds" come back to Bite him exponentially.

9. I was watching Rachel tonight and she said that because of the way this law was written

that McConnell was required to allow a vote on it if the House passed it. I'm no expert so I don't know - its just what she said.

[Major Nikon]

14. He doesn't get a choice

The law that governs the national emergency declaration requires a floor vote in the Senate for a resolution which passes in the House.

8. I'm sure Trump knows he isn't going to get his wall, and he may not even really care.

He just wants his base to know he did everything he could.

15. This. $10 says he just wants it to go away now.
