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.

    The original AC was claiming that Congress (the part voting to block the emergency declaration) was the party tilting at windmills (" the windmill (wall) will stand" - Trump isn't trying to take down his own wall). But I'm willing to consider them completely wrong since executive branch overreach isn't an imaginary danger unlike Spanish dragons.
