Schiff suggests will use intel chiefs testimony if Trump tries national emergency card.

The fact that none of the intel chiefs brought up a threat at the southern border as being one of the most pressing threats facing the country, that could be Exhibit A in a challenge to any kind of a declaration of a national emergency. - PoliticusUSA

(23,156 posts)This pushes drumpf towards a shutdown which is the worst possible thing that could be done. Let him declare a national emergency, then attack and win. Now, I fear our government will almost surely go back to suicide mode effective 2/15 or 2/16. Really don't think him coming out and previewing a Democratic response to a potential drumpf national emergency proclamation is smart and could end up being a terrible thing because I totally don't trust Repugs to over-ride a drumpf veto, don't think enough of them have the balls.
Heavy sigh!
