Remember when executive overreach was a thing?

Journal by DeathMonkey

Well the good news is that most congresscritters do, and Trump's fake-ass emergency was rejected.

41 Republican Senators and 182 Republican House Representatives, on the other hand, just proved how completely full of crap they are.

    What I notice is that they're both trying to do congress's job because they can't be bothered to stop calling each other Hitler for five minutes and agree on anything, at all, ever. From Trump and the people who voted for him's perspective, this is a much more real emergency than anything Obama signed. It's arguably a more real emergency than anything Obama signed even from a disinterested perspective being as it relates directly to the sovereignty and security of the nation in multiple ways.

    I'm not saying I agree with it or don't agree with it but if you can't see why it might at least arguably be a more valid use of the emergency powers granted him, it's because you're far too caught up in cheering on your tribe and booing the other team.
