DOJ warns White House that national emergency will likely be blocked: report

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The Department of Justice (DOJ) has warned the White House that the courts are likely to block a national emergency declaration to build a wall along the southern border, according to ABC News.

The White House, however, remains confident that it can win on appeal and ultimately have such a declaration approved by the courts, ABC News reported.

The White House and DOJ did not immediately return requests for comment from The Hill.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) announced Thursday that President Trump plans to bypass Congress to get border wall funding by declaring a national emergency. Trump also plans to sign a bill to fund the government, preventing another shutdown. The legislation does not include the amount of funding Trump wants for a wall.

1. The dotard isn't going to be very happy, but he'll just blame it on radical Democratic judges.

2. He's such a stubborn, egotistical fool. Even the 5....7B

he originally asked for is a pittance compared to what an actual wall would cost.

His dreamed for legacy project would require him to come back for more and more funding and more and more fights with Congress.

His stupidness will be his downfall as this so called emergency will take up all the oxygen in DC and nothing else will be accomplished until we finally get rid of trump.

4. How will he fund the government without congressional approval?

The man is such a loss for this country.

5. Then declare a National Emergency and dissolve the DOJ

Honestly, who is to stop him? The GOP will continue to enable Trump.
