Take a look at what they involve:

Iran, nuclear weapons, Palestine, Colombian narcos, Sudan, the Balkans, Zimbabwe, post-9/11 action, Belarus, Congo, North Korea, Somalia, Libya, Yemen, Crimea, Chinese cyber-attacks, Nicaragua.

Essentially zero of that is relevant to domestic policy.

This is a shite precedent, and it's the kind of thing that will come back to bite conservatives in the arse. And to think we all (rightfully) complained about Obama's abuse of EO's.

Can't wait for the national emergency on gun control or climate change.

It’s not the Declararion that scares me.

It’s him declaring the emergency, then getting challenged on his authority, and having the issue appealed to the USSCT who then rules in Trump’s favor.

Then. When AOC or the moron with the scarf is elected, we have a USSCT decision saying that the POTUS can do anything if it’s a national emergency.

Next thing you know Global warming is a national emergency that only socialism can cure. And we’re fricked. We have an precedent that there’s no way we can get reversed.

31 of them are still ongoing!!

31 declared national emergencies still in effect

Medicated Nancy sounds like she's never heard of this ever being done before.


As for her making the threat regarding guns, that only confirms what most of us already know: The Democratic Party ultimately wants to disarm the American people. She outed them once and for all on that, yesterday.
