White House pleads with Senate GOP on emergency declaration

Vice President Pence rushed to the Senate on Tuesday in a last-ditch effort to convince GOP senators to oppose a resolution approved by the House that would block President Trump’s emergency declaration to build a wall on the Mexican border.

Pence lunched with Senate Republicans hours before the House vote, but remarks after the meeting pointed to the tall task he and the White House face in stopping the resolution.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) went as far as saying that he’s not sure the declaration is legal, a statement unlikely to give pause to senators thinking about opposing Trump.

“I haven’t reached a total conclusion,” McConnell told reporters when asked for his personal opinion on the legality of Trump’s move.

“I haven’t reached a total conclusion,” McConnell told reporters when asked for his personal opinion on the legality of Trump’s move.

Really? After all of your years of "serving" in the Congress of the United States of America, you can't pull you head out of your shell/ass long enough to give a true and sincere answer to such a fundamental simple question?

There is NO explaining the limits to which you drive people of conscience and integrity to hate you and what you stand for. You are the nightmare of which people dream about "politicians."
