    So trump's budget chief in arguing its the dems fault was at a loss to explain why the COMMANDER IN CHIEF is doing EVERYTHING its within his considerable power (he knows guys) to GUARANTEE ALL military wages and benefits are uninterrupted and secure.the

    Apparently the best this guy can come up with is " “the sort of the dynamic flow in the Senate. and vacillation. Seems he had no answer.

    yet another example of the CIC ignoring his sworn duty. Pathetic stain on america's honor.

    He had a duty to uphold the law of the land and that's what he tried to do when he rescinded the illegal and unconstitutional stain that is DACA.

    Dems had a judge on the payroll mess that up.

    Now we're fighting a budget battle because Dems want their, what is it, 1.5 million Democrat votes?

    See all the trouble that comes from not following the Constitution?

    There is no Supreme Court ruling which declared DACA unconstitutional.

    Which means only that the SCOTUS hasn't declared it unconstitutional, yet.

    Nothing more.

    Not that they wont.

    Not that it isn't.

    Not that every other ruling regarding immigration hasn't shown the consistency which demonstrates Presidents have no authority to write immigration law.

    Why in all holy **** do you want to inundate the nation with poor uneducated people?

    Are DACA people poor and uneducated? For the most part they were educated in the good old US of A.

    The DACA program is constitutional until declared otherwise by the Supreme Court. The unilateral declaration to the contrary by you, Trump, or even by someone with an actual knowledge of what qualifies as constitutional does not render DACA unconstitutional.

    Secondly, DACA recipients are not poor or uneducated. But even if your bigoted assumptions were correct, the poor and uneducated still contribute to society. Unless you have a message that you'd like to send to the former coal mining communities of West Virginia and Pennsylvannia?

    Finally, work on your formatting. Paragraph breaks are useful, but every sentence does not deserve it's own line. Sometimes, every word does.

    Super

    Callous

    Fragile

    Racist

    Sexist

    POTUS.

    Because the lawsuit was halted after Trump gave it to Congress to fix where it belongs. It would have failed like DAPA did.

    Trump arbitrarily created a deadline, his arbitrary decision making is the reason the court ruled his decision to rescind DACA was improper, and his decision is part of the reason that shutdown occurred when the deadline he created from whole cloth coincided with the budget process.

    Trump gave plenty of time for Congress to do their job. Dems are squandering it.

    Congress did their job, negotiated a DACA deal in a bipartisan manner, got Trump's approval multiple times, and then Trump sandbagged the negotiations.

    Your source is a violent alt left propaganda site. Not even worth reading your post.

    Care to advise me on which school you earned some form of degree in constitutional law and constitutional interpretation?

    Or, which books written in the past by some form of authority that give you the authority to make these claims?

    Did you need the Lefts Constitutional attorneys and Professors, Jonathon Turley along with Alan Dershowitz to explain it out slowly to you?

    Just how many Constitutional attorneys need to tell you DACA is illegal, and with DAPA being unconstitutional. That both left and Right attorneys believe SCOTUS will rule that it is Unconstitutional.

    The Schumer narrative. Dems want to insure there is no break in illegals flooding the country.

    #schumershutdown trending 10 times more than #trumpshutdown.

    60% of all Americans want to follow the democratic agenda. Sure, they have the minority in the senate/house, but GOP should remember that a majority of its citizens wants a good compromise deal with the democrats.

    Democrats gave Trump the wall, military funding. GOP should have agreed with some minor crap like CHIP & DACA in return (looking at raw costs). Them using sick children to get a lopsided deal in their favor should already be enough. DEMs have caved in on most stuff.

    The shutdown is on the partisan GOP. Period. To rule is to be bipartisan. Maybe they should try it. Government would have stayed open because the DEMs would have caved in for hundreds of billions of dollars to get some spare change in humanitarian values. But nooooo. Crazy GOP wants it all. Regardless of a majority of the US citizens do not want the GOP in power at all. Craziness.

    No, it wasn't Trump the buffoon who sandbagged the deal - it was President Stephen Miller, the guy who is really running the show in the White House. Miller is leading Trump around by the nose and the Republicans in Congress are figuring this out.......;)

    Wrong..... the Demos only gave funding for the Wall for one year. Then they only limited chain Migration.....not end it. Moreover, The Demos pushed for DACA to be added to a spending bill. Oh and then the Demos told the Repubs that any Military funding had to be matched with Social services funding.

    Demos and Chucky Cheese Schumer own the Shutdown.

    Also.....The CBC and CHC in the House are against ending the Diversity Visa Lottery.

    The Steve Miller narrative and sheer idiocy to boot.

    As for the new Twitter trends, you can thank the Russian bots. Someone finally decided to get them on message I guess. Trump was pissed to see #TrumpShutdown was the number one trending hashtag worldwide.

    The Military is funded through 2/1/18. There is no need to even bother saying "The dems want to pay for illegal immigrants while the military goes unpaid." That's FAKE NEWS, and all the cucks spewing it need to **** about it.

    Now.

    As far as DACA is concerned, I have already spoken how I feel about Trump's immigration platform and how I agree with it.

    I was simply asking for a real explanation on this person's credentials to offer constitutional arguments.

    Care to answer in his stead?

    In addition McConnell blocked McCaskill & Duckworth actions on the floor to guarantee the military funding.
