Isn't declaring a national emergency the same as declaring martial law?

I'm afraid not. You're the one who was shocked that Carter waited until after a coup to freeze their assets.

I'd like to hear more about how he should have done it before the coup.

 

They dress up in black, wear masks, and break things including other people's bones. That's what junior storm troopers do.

 

What I want is a justice system based on the Constitution. And that is exactly what Gorsuch and Kavanaugh will do.

 

The Constitution requires the President to protect the citizens of the US. That is exactly what Trump is doing. Money is appropriated to the executive branch to spend on security. That is again what Trump is doing to protect the citizens of the US. And that is Constitutional as ruled be the SCOTUS.

 

What polls ?? Why should the nation be governed by polling ?? Trump is acting to protect the citizens of the US and the border patrol from harm. The Democrats are not. That is an easy case to make based on existing data both in the US and Israel for one excellent example.

 

A double chain link fence type screen.

 

Do your homework.

 

That's too funny. But to those who live in a bubble ......

 

No homework need to be done. A catapult capable of tossing something 51 foot into the air is capable of tossing something over a 50 foot wall

 

Sorry that seems like random words just put together. How can a chain be a screen or are you just implying you want a wire fence attached to the wall which can just be cut through with wire cutters?

 

Except Trump just goofed once again by saying that it is not an emergency but just wants to do it faster

 

So the cartels will be rolling catapults up to the wall on the southern border ?? You f keep making the case for a wall.

 

Do you actually understand how dumb the above is ?? And again you continue to make the case for the wall.

 

Emergencies require fast action. That’s not obvious ?? US citizens are dying from drugs and illegal alien criminals. Why do you oppose protecting US citizens ??

 

LOL Perhaps you can explain how a wall stops anything being thrown over.

 

says the guy who thinks a chain link fence cannot be cut with wire cutters and and who thinks that drugs were not just thrown over walls. You are all over the place!

 

Do you have a comprehension problem? They were caught throwing the drugs over the wall. News flash, that don't happen without a wall.

 

LOL at you trying to defend Trump who stated that he didn't have to declare a national emergency. Well dur, if he didn't have to then it's not an emergency

 

Thank you for proving my point. Now perhaps you can explain that point to AFM who did not believe that Mexicans were throwing drugs over the wall to people on the other side of the border. Oh, and you didn't answer the question "How did the wall thwart the transfer of drugs from Mexico to the US where no one crossed that border?"

 

Do you think catapulting things over a wall makes you visible? Do you think that might be noticed by Law Enforcement?

 

So if law enforcement can see them why bother with any wall?

 

no it's not, Trump's fragile ego was bruised so he is calling a national emergency

 

Explain how much more drugs would be crossing the border at those locations if the wall were not there. Are you Jim Acosta ???

 

Why are you opposed to the President protecting the lives of US citizens and border patrol agents.

 

Again you make the case for a wall. Are you Jim Acosta ??
