nobody believes him. nobody takes him seriously. i don t know where he cares what ann coulter thinks. nobody else does. this is a ridiculous argument by a ridiculous person who is pretending he is the president of the united states. what does this mean in terms of going forward? should the democrats fight this declaration of emergency? of course. here is why they should fight it. we actually would gain more if we didn t fight it. then we would that s why i ask. if we didn t fight it, we would then eventually get the presidency and we would declare emergency for climate change and an emergency for a lot of the other things, guns, for example, as they were five more people murdered today by a nut case with a gun. this is a bad idea to overturn the constitution. i don t believe that justice roberts, who is a very conservative guy, but does believe what the constitution says, i don t believe he will allow this to happen.
layer one is emergency. the court might find it s not for the court to answer. it s up to the president. the second layer is these pots of money are military pots of money. under the emergency act, they can only be used for military purposes. the military is prohibited by law from enforcing domestic law. the military cannot enforce our immigration laws, enforce our drug laws. by definition, there is no military purpose. i don t see how he can use the funds. that s why he said the military said the physical barriers would be more important than the money allocated for. the statute that 248. the secretary of defense makes the call. important to enforce immigration laws, anti-drug laws? those are laws the military is prohibited from enforcing. what a sticky situation. legally, certainly politically.

i could do the wall over a longer period of time. i didn t need do it. i would rather do it faster. i am now the white house counsel. watch my face. that s what that person s face did when he said that. you have to look at the law and politics on this. first, the law. just minutes after declaring a national emergency, the president admitted to the world there isn t one. i didn t need to do this. you will see the words and hear them. especially from the democrats. we have the man who is the tip of that, jerry nadler. perfect timing. i got lucky with you tonight. do you believe that those words will weigh heavy? they will. the lawsuit will say that there is no real emergency. he will say there s an emergency. the defense will be that the president decides whether
