    Senate votes to reject Trump’s emergency declaration

    The Senate passed a resolution Thursday to overturn President Trump’s declaration of a national emergency at the U.S.-Mexico border, with 12 Republicans joining all Democrats to deliver a bipartisan rebuke to the president.

    This was expected. It's also expected that Trump will veto it and his veto will stand.

    No, they'll wait for him to veto it, fail to overturn the veto and then win in court.

    Frankly, I'm surprised 11 of the 12 of them had the spine to do it.

    A president does have the legal authority to declare a national emergency. The congress gave the president that authority in 1976. I don't know how a court can overturn that.

    All a court could do is rule against how he uses specific elements of that emergency. A court can't terminate the declaration. If a federal court does, the Supreme Court will get involved and overrule that lower court.

    We cannot trust Roberts to remain on the Americans'side.
    The Supreme Court must become Ruthless, and soon, to arrive the future of the pro-America court Trump has been constructing.
