Trump has just asked Congress to ignore Constitution and legal precedent when voting on his wall.




Republican Senators have a very easy vote this week. It is about Border Security and the Wall (stopping Crime, Drugs etc.), not Constitutionality and Precedent. It is an 80% positive issue. The Dems are 100% United, as usual, on a 20% issue, Open Borders and Crime. Get tough R’s!

He'll use loopholes to bypass them with . Just a matter of time before he claims he has absolute power with challenges against them. Its coming because he will only try to consolidate more power to use against them with it. And already he'll have people gathering dirt on anyone who could be in his way to accuse them with, to try and criminalize them with. Like he's doing to Hillary, for putin. The longer the gop do nothing the harder time they will have removing him, and they will want to badly when they realize he's destroying them all with everything he's criminally doing. He's already (maybe putin too) trying to take over the judicial system , and DOJ.
