McConnell steps into shutdown fight, scheduling dueling votes

[HawkTheSlayer]

A NC GOP congressman has a plan to bypass Congress and fund the wall. No details provided, but suddenly McConnell and Schumer are meeting to formulate a resolution to their impasse on the shutdown, the phony $#@!s.

His plan includes Trump putting up his own money.

I don't think anyone is taking it seriously

I wonder what the NC guy's plan is.

I believe I know the answer to the question, but if by this time next week, the Congress and Trump have reached an agreement, the border wall gets funded and federal workers get paid, including backpay, can the Congress be sued in the names of Pelosi, Schumer, McConnell and other principals for damages and all sorts of FREE stuff, and run out of Washington on a Amtrak rail??

The answer is who cares? You and I pay for it anyway.

Maintenance and construction are two legally different things.

Yes ... ?




It seems to me that a fence or a wall will have to be manned for a few years anyway just to douse the myth obviously circulating in Central America.

Certainly. Whatever wall or barrier is constructed will have to be continuously maintained.

Mark Meadows "plan" is less likely to get through court than a declaration of emergency by Trump.

It would be very hard for a court to strike down a presidential emergency declaration. The statutes do not define emergency so the President has very wide authority. And a court cannot create a definition that is absent from the statutes.

It would be very difficult if Trump had the ability to shut his yap.

SCOTUS has already overturned lower courts that based their decisions on Trumps tweets and rhetoric.

I think it's wonderful that McConnell finally got up off his $#@!ing ass to act toward resolving this situation. See how easy it is, and how culpable these politicians in Congress are for these harmful situations that tend to worsen as guys like McConnell play games?

Obviously, McConnell doesn't give a $#@!.

But Pelosi does. Gee, you do have a problem.
