Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Sarah Sanders said this morning that in 21 days the wall is being built

The only question is if the Dems want to bargain and get a few things or if they want nothing.

Oh, and apparently the thought that a declaration of national emergency will get blocked by the courts is a little unfounded. It seems that those sorts of EOs if challenged, go directly to the Supreme Court and they have never overruled a president on one.

Yep, we'll see how stupid they are. I'm almost hoping they don't fund the wall. That way they'll get nothing, but the wall will still be built.

Well that aughtta get RGB out of the bat cave then eh? Either that or it will be a weekend at Ruthies.

He could start in BBNP where the Feds own the land. Of course, that’s not where a wall is needed but that’s beside the point. His EPA would be up in arms as well.

Face it.... this National Emergency BS is nothing but a face saving device for Trump.

and why didn't he do this when first got in office?…..this last little go around with Nancy......put some egg on his face...I know he didn't like it..he will come out swinging...….bob

I don't know why there has to be a "national emergency" declared.

The POTUS is CIC of the military and can order the military to respond to any threat he deems necessary.

I almost spit my coffee on the keyboard reading that!

Continued cost of military being deployed and putting people in harms way or building a one time barrier. Hmmmm.........

So you're worried about the military being put in harm's way? Hell, if you are worried about our military forces, the strongest and best equipped in the world being at the border, then what threat do you see for the CITIZENS of our country with NO protection? LOL

You also think the military can't build a wall?

Exactly what did anyone think she would say? Predictable.

I was hoping she would say Mexico would pay for the wall. Oh wait,,,,,

Yep.

To the uninitiated.

Trump already saved $5 billion by getting out of Syria

Didn't Blowbama have some of his EOs reversed by the SCOTUS?

Its not like we have to fly them around the world. How many hours from the border is Fort Hood?

I wonder what would happen if the R's and D's actually started negotiating instead of being embedded in this constant I have to win at all costs mentality.

Declaring a national emergency in an attempt to build a 1,926 mile wall is ridiculous, pretending that a partial border wall is not needed is also foolish.

There is no way that a 1,926 mile wall is going to be built. Not taking into account that unpopular (I used to think by the "conservatives" on this site) of having to claim eminent domain of private property, having a large sovereign Indian Reservation along a large part of the border in AZ, and not to mention the logistics and cost of even attempting such a project...makes the wall a pipe dream.

I think a majority of Americans, from both parties, could get behind a comprehensive plan that makes sense. I just don't think either side has thought this through, there doesn't have to be a winner and a loser. It can be a win all around. Build the wall/fence in the high traffic areas and improve existing barriers where its needed. Use additional funding to upgrade to better detection methods, increased border patrol, etc. in the more remote areas.

Negotiating is not about one side getting everything and the other nothing...too bad the asshats in D.C. seem unable to comprehend that.

Buzz, you need to check your numbers again.

How much of that has already been built and in place for years?

You ought to drive past the city limits where you live now and then. Perhaps you'd be better informed.

But facts don't matter to liberals.

Bingo. This is because emergency power in defense of the national border is an explicit executive power, and all three branches being coequal, one branch cannot interfere with an explicit power of another branch, which a delay in court would have the effect of doing. The Supreme Court has already ruled that this sort of thing falls under what's called "political question doctrine," and political questions are "nonjusticiable," meaning the courts cannot rule on them (other than to affirm that they are nonjusticiable), as they are only addressable under our Constitution by the electorate themselves in the ballot box.

Just stop the illegal crossings and if they get through, send them back.

Simple huh

Even if the “national emergency “ gets through the courts and that’s a big if, the private property owners will tie this up in court for years.


If he thought it had a chance he would have done it already.


This will go down as just another promise un filled.
