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.

    Right but we're not talking optimal solution here, we're talking is he correct to go with whatever solution he thinks is going to help with a problem that he sees. The viability of the solution and the reality of the problem aren't the issue and you can't really make them the issue until after the fact if this is a power you want to remain with the executive branch. Personally, I don't. I think we should give it back to congress and force them to get off their dead asses and do their job once in a while instead of giving the President every power that they haven't already carved out for some czar or other.
