This would go to the courts and he'll lose. If he does it, it's not to get a wall. It's to pretend he's doing something while knowing he'll eventually lose, many many months from now when everyone has moved on.

all this CAVE talk about him since Friday..how a woman wiped the floor with him.....he is getting ready to strike.....

will not allow this to happen. The Casino owners lost big time in the last month,foreign Tourist stayed away in mega numbers,and of course,Walmart and Kroger lost tens of millions of dollars in sales.

Follow the money!

to be put in place to draw attention away from indictments to come.

I’ll be happy to stay gone.

He'll never get through the EIS on a single mile of fence before his term is up.

When the Republicans all turn on him. He wants desperately to have absolute power over everyone, and everything, and this is just another step for him to get it. Then he'll start going after other countries by creating chaos and conflicts with for an excuse to invade them with . He'll try to do the same on the world stage too with threats and causing problems to use for it.

Sure, Trump might declare that emergency. And Nancy will follow that declaration with a lawsuit in a New York second.

Oh, it's an emergency? Why didn't you take care of it while your party had control of both houses of Congress? Why are you agreeing to a 3-week restoration without funding for your stupid wall?

He'll claim it's an emergency, and we'll tell the court "If it's so urgent, why did you wait?" Trump will have to justify why he should get an override to the House's Constitutionally mandated power of the purse.

Which means the money he wants to spend for the wall will be tied up in court for years.

Emergency my ass. Maybe an emergency for his political career and the morale of his base, but I'm happy to be part of creating that emergency.

Maybe Speaker Pelosi and Schumer can have another televised meeting with him and get him on the spot.

...it'll just deepen his opposition, bleed into republican support.

He's really stuck. He has three weeks where he's basically exposed as the loser he is. He's back to claiming ownership of the NEXT shutdown. He can't win for defeating himself.

And I don't think the courts would go for it. But if the SCOTUS were to back him, he can he do what he needs to without emergency powers.

I will be extremely surprised if that happens again.

Any National Emergency stuff will be tied up in courts for at least 18 months, minimum.
