    Who decides what an "ACTUAL" emergency is?

    The facts do, and they'd better be actual facts and not contrived.

    Courts will give broad discretion to an executive, but it had better be a real emergency, with documentation and facts, not a contrived pile of **** meant to circumvent another equal branch of government,

    I mean if Trump doesn't sign. Is there something about a court challenge that would fund the government without Trump's signature?

    And you would say that Obama circumventing Congress was wrong wouldn't you?

    Are you saying that there are no facts which could demonstrate that the current border situation is a national emergency?

    Interesting question... Sure there are, but they'd have to show the situation at the border has somehow changed dramatically for the worse over the past couple of years AND the probable cause of that change wasn't primarily due to the Trump/Sessions "Zero Tolerance" policy or other misguided policies of this administration.

    I believe they would be unable to do either... after all, you cannot create your own national emergency, can you??

    Why would they have to show that it has changed? Why can't the border be considered to be no more a national emergency than it was 10 years ago?

    Why the hell WOULD it have gotten worse under the ruthless Trump administration?

    Democrats would rather shutdown the Federal Government than secure the border.

    Yep, whilst thousands of Americans are working for nothing, and thousands more arent even getting their
    food stamps, the pos Pelosi suns herself beside the pool drinking martinis...
    And we wonder why France is on fire....
    Fools like Pelosi and another pos Cortez will cause the peons to revolt in the US one day, and the fire
    suddenly wont be just in France....the day of the peon...its coming.....

    Uh, no.

    The president can declare a national emergency, and allocate funds as he sees fit.

    Define actual emergency (here will you will find the POTUS can define it).

    It can't be stuck down.

    Bitter leftists can take it to court.

    But it won't end the reality.

    The muslim ban lefties know this.

    Why should she sit in Washington doing nothing but wait? She should enjoy her vacation. If anything serious develops she can quickly turn this into a working vacation or fly back. I think she knows how to use a phone for a conference call, or the internet to communicate with her caucus, or the republicans in Congress for that matter.

    This 'fool' has a winning hand, and she knows how to use it to advantage.
