begooode Posted March 14, 2019 Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 I know they have to position themselves for their 2020 runs, but 12 republicans is a pretty high number. This is a beatdown for Trump. reo, and 'Nator 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legaltitan Posted March 14, 2019 Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 Yeah, guess the last 2+ years where Republican politicians and religious guys like Sox who said they didn't like Trump have gone to the mat for him over any and all issues. Even the Republicans themselves promote the idea that they are more disciplined in holding the line than Democrats. MadMax, and Justafan 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean get rid of the few republicans that still believes the Constitution and rule of law? Yep, this is not your father's GOP anymore. I continually am reminded of a post by T-RAC some time ago stated that the GOP base never really had the values espoused by the GOP. It gets shown to be true with every passing week.

Mitt even said he supports the wall but knows this isn’t national emergency material. Take your L, chump. reo, and MadMax 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

begooode Posted March 14, 2019 Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 (edited) Pretty hard to call the southern border situation a national emergency OR say Trump's action is considered within executive scope when 1 out of 5 repubs go on record to disagree in today's hyper-partisan political environment.

Too many Trump supporters cannot comprehend a person can support border security while believing a wall is a dumb idea or this is a faux national emergency. It's nuts. reo, and ChesterCopperpot1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

After one of Obama's executive orders, I'm certain that you posted a comment or distributed a meme about Obama acting like a dictator or Obama is trashing the constitution or the Republicans need to oppose an out of control executive branch. I guess Obama increased your tolerance for dictators. Thanks Obama. Edited March 14, 2019 by Btowner Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justafan Posted March 14, 2019 Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 Now comes the constitutional argument over whether Trump has the authority to veto this. It's a pretty interesting debate. There are several lines of thought on this and a veto could get challenged in court. I have no idea how solid the legal arguments are but I heard a great debate on this on a podcast a couple of weeks ago. reo 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Starkiller Posted March 14, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 In the end, the Supreme Court is going to be the one to decide if a president has the power to override the federal budget written by Congress and just apply money to any project he wants. And if they back Trump, the whole system of checks and balances has failed. pat, reo, pamo9, and 5 others 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
