Aren't the courts all controlled by conservative judges now?
Cute but not quite. Yeah they are filled with conservative judges because McConnell finally got a useful idiot but they have surprised the Orange Piss Pot before. I fully expect that whatever judge gets to have this argument presented in front of him will, on principle and with an eye to the future, strike down a "national emergency" pretty damn quickly because there is no emergency. It also bypasses Congress in such a way that realistically, the President doesn't need Congress at that point. All he has to do is declare a National Emergency and boom, no need for Congress just declare yourself king.
And if Trump is just content with his Wall, imagine what happens in 2020 and a Democrat gets in the White House and has this power. Why he could declare a National Emergency about anything. Climate change, gun control, dismantling of the Republican party.
Ironbite-no I fully expect Turtle knows this gets challenged in court, the deceleration declared illegal, and life goes on.
