Perhaps because back then... it wasn't crystal clear that this is, indeed, an orchestrated crisis (orchestrated by America's enemies, like Soros).... and perhaps because, much like the wheels of justice and anything done by ""G"" government.... it takes forfrickinever for them to act on something/anything, emergency/crisis/whatever or not.
Technically YES. And I mean that Obama should not have done so either.But this is different in that Congress has very specifically limited him, and he is very specifically using his emergency powers to defy congress. That they let Obama slide on it is incidental. This congress will not let Tump slide, I can guarantee it. And he is in the wrong. It is misappropriation of funds.
IMHO the President is NOT re-allocating anything! He is simply directing how funds already allocated are to be spent! Something that is FULLY within his powers as the chief executive.
I don't think that is true. And most of the Conservative senators are saying the same thing... They are unsure if his position is lawful, so I am not alone.One way or the other, I guarantee that we will find out. this will go to scotus.
I'll just say that I'd trust Cruz over DJT any day of the week.
Shaky ground does not, however, equate to unconstitutional and/or illegal.
On that, we are in full agreement!
Sorry @XenaLee ... I didn't see you...It may not equate - but then again it may... And I would bet that this House will go there.
So basically... what you are saying, in essence, is that 'this' Congress set Trump up for da big "I"... via that heinous bill he just signed (a trap). Ok, I can see that. But I'm still ok with what he is doing... so let the chips (cow? buffalo? DemocRat?) fall where they may.
Cruz's judgment has been spot-on (unlike Trump's)... despite all of the naysaying idiots that bleat otherwise.
Whatever happens in the courts, the issue is now front and center of the American political lexicon and only one man gets the credit for putting it there.
No, Tump is setting himself up.However it is, I am most certainly not ok with it. It is the principle of the thing.
YEP.Duncan friggin Hunter.
Your principles are obviously better than mine...lol. In the case/issue of saving this nation from the leftist radicals.... I'm all in re: doing whatever is necessary.
NOPE. By the book. We are a nation of laws, not people.
I've always been a rebel (with or without cause...lol).I get what you're saying. But.... desperate times call for desperate measures (pardon cliche).
That's all fine till the precedent is used the other way around.
The problem with that is.... our opponents have already proven, over and above and beyond all doubt.... that they are willing to SET any precedent ....vs. merely following one (See: Democrats change rules to pass ObamaCare against the will of the majority of Americans).
