By Dan Desai Martin - February 15, 2019
Even Trump's most obedient lackeys are saying a national emergency declaration to build a wall is going too far.
Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) will gleefully vote to put a belligerent alleged attempted rapist on the Supreme Court, but even she cant stomach the idea of Trump declaring a national emergency to build a border wall.
Collins said it would be a mistake to declare a national emergency in this case, would undermine the role of Congress, and would be of dubious constitutionality.
The statement came just before Trumps Friday morning declaration of a national emergency as a way to pilfer billions of dollars to build a wall. Trump made the announcement after signing a funding bill that contained far less money than he demanded.
But before Trump officially declared a national emergency, criticism for the plan came from all corners of Congress.

Hey Rubio and Collins, if you saw what your "leader" was ranting about and showing his absolute clusterfuck of thinking in real time to the country and the world , was and is a malignant narcissistic psychopathic insanity traitor.
My question is, are you going to still put his nominees on the courts that will back this asshole.......................because you can whine all you want but the courts that you are packing with these Federalist Society assholes, support this man in a lot of instances........................that is a fact...............
