Here you go: WH counsel's office is prepping legal justification for national emergency, including advising WH to ramp up talk of a humanitarian & security "crisis”. WH lawyers say the more the term is used, the more citations they will have in filing legal defense -CNN reporting

1. Maybe the answer...is to not let them on tv to say it?

At some point the media has to serve themselves a dish of regrets and truth and quit making the news on the backs of people who are trying to just live life under the promise of America. No forum, no venue for traitors to the country.

3. Good god the stupid is getting strong

If this is their "legal strategy", then I don't know what to say. They can keep repeating whatever they want over, and over, and over but it doesn't change the fact that the "emergency" is that Congress wont approve one specific spending item, which is Congress' Constitutional power. Nothing they say/repeat changes the facts of the situation. The argument that nothing other than the ever-changing wall can solve the "crisis" or "emergency" doesn't hold any factual basis. Again, it is the Constitutional authority of Congress to approve spending; the President can't override Congress who has already decided it is not a "crisis" or "emergency". He has already been advised the President doesn't have this power(trust me, he has). Its laughable that federal courts would not uphold what is a clear separation of powers issue. Lastly, The House STILL has control over the funds. The House STILL will not allocate funds from the Pentagon to build the wall.

Of course, this is all insanity caused by the GOP Senate who could just vote to re-open government and override the veto and move on from the wall nonsense, but too many are apparently compromised to do the right thing.

4. Media needs to run nonstop

His having illegals working for him on his properties , and providing them illegally with phony green cards, and ask the question , did he have anyone get a background check on them? That should be enough to prove he really doesn't think this is a crisis if he hires them too illegally.
