This Just Might Be Trump’s Andy Jackson Moment
DIARY / Mike Ford // Posted at 12:40 pm on January 26, 2019 by Mike Ford Promoted from the diaries by streiff. Promotion does not imply endorsement. Most folks are now aware of the latest twist in the so called, “government shutdown.†President Trump has agreed to a deal that will fund the currently non-funded , 25 percent of federal government for the next three weeks. This is supposed to give negotiating teams from both parties time to come up with something President Trump will sign and that both sides can live with. President Trump has indicated that if such a solution isn’t found by Congress, he retains the right to invoke a state of emergency and use those statutory powers to start building the border wall.
This just might be President Trump’s Andy Jackson moment. If you recall from history class, the United States Supreme Court Under Chief Justice John Marshall, overturned a conviction of men convicted by the State of Georgia for violating a law that Marshall later stated, would deprive the Indian Tribes of their sovereignty. President Jackson allegedly stated “John Marshall has made his decision, now let him enforce it,†or words to that effect.
President Trump may get such an opportunity three weeks from now. If Congress cannot come up with an acceptable solution for the President, he will in all likelihood declare a state of emergency and attempt to begin construction of his most significant campaign promise. Once this occurs, I’m sure we all know what will happen. The leftists will find a tame California-based Federal District Judge to issue a nation-wide stay on any wall construction activities, in order to delay any progress on a border barrier until after the 2020 election. For the leftists, this has nothing to do with national security. It has everything to do with denying Donald Trump a “win,†on the most significant promise to his supporters.
