He'll declare the emergency, open the government and then be in court for months after he's immediately sued.

today he wants 7 billion for the wall and is going to get it by declaring a national emergency which can immediately be challenged in the courts? Interesting. I wonder what he wants buried in this news cycle.

...I hope so...and I hope the Supremes back him...

...when AOC becomes President we'll declare a national emergency over the millions of loyal Americans suffering from lack of healthcare due our capitalist, for-profit, horseshit healthcare system...

“The Great Leader Trump, assailed on all sides by evil democrat traitors and criminals, evil federal law enforcement, evil judges and the evil fake news media, still emerged victorious!”
