Constitutions separation of powers:

President Trump's national emergency declaration is an illegal attempt to violate the laws passed by Congress and override congressional funding restrictions in order to build his border wall. It's a dangerous expansion of presidential power and an assault on Congress' role as a co-equal branch of the government. Worse yet, he's reportedly considering to do it again. Our elected officials must fulfill their oaths to defend the Constitution and swiftly end this constitutional crisis.
Wouldnt this be a smack upside MFs head if they terminated this??

(12,155 posts)6. Moscow Mitch wants Democrats on record
as "supporting open borders." That's the one and only reason I can see for this vote.
NEVER trust them.
