Last week, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., warned President Donald Trump that if he declared an “emergency” to build a wall, “think what a president with different values can present. … Why don’t you declare [the epidemic of gun violence in America] an emergency, Mr. President? I wish you would. … A Democratic president can declare emergencies as well.”
Her fellow Democrats, Sens. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., and Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., quickly agreed. Warren tweeted: “Gun violence is an emergency. Climate change is an emergency.”
Yikes.
Not every problem in America should be declared an emergency—or used by a president to justify acting without Congress.

ReplyDeleteit's legal, the Dem-led Congress blocks everything Trump at every turn, and the action is in the best interests of the American people and the nation.
Pushing this president into a corner is not a particularly wise or fruitful thing to do.
How about a National Emergency to deal with anti-Americans like Pelosi, et al?
