They aren't going to appropriate major $ from other sources to actually do anything

(7,411 posts)not know what will eventually happen. Polls are only as reliable as the subject sources polled and the randomness involved. Most journalist students learned that back as far (at least) as the 70's.

(65,426 posts)There were active military guys on TV today saying the declaration is nonsense. So even the military opposes this. Some, at least.

(65,187 posts)I am not counting on pressure from fellow Repukes doing it. They are so often all talk. But this is an egregious abuse of power. In no way, shape or form is the border situation a national emergency requiring a wall. One of the few things that is a national emergency IMO is climate change. But like Trump would ever act on that.
