Identifying some RINOS

Many years ago Congress passed the law giving the President the power to declare emergencies and then to provide money to handle the declared emergency. This is a lawful use of power delegated to the President which is completely within the constitution, and which has been used dozens of times by multiple Presidents since the law was passed by Congress. President Trump’s declaration of an emergency is fully within the scope of the law and is fully constitutional in exactly the same regards as the dozens of emergency declarations by previous presidents were. Anyone attempting to state that President Trump is exceeding his authority is simply ignorant or plain stupid.

            In addition, the law does not require or imply that congressional approval of the declaration of an emergency is required. It expressly gives the President the right to determine if there is an emergency, and the right to act unilaterally to handle the emergency. Nowhere in the law does it states that the congress has reserved the right to override the President in this process. To restate the obvious, it is the unfettered right of the President to determine if there is an emergency, and it is plainly stated that he has the right to provide funds to handle the declared emergency.

            It is also plain that congress may, at their discretion, withhold this power by passing a new law, but it is also plainly obvious that the President may veto the bill. However, it is absurd for anyone member of congress to attempt to justify voting to stop the President by claiming that he does not have the power to declare the emergency. CONGRESS HAS PREVIOUSLY GRANTED THAT POWER. It is also stupid to claim that the President does not have the SOLE DISCRETION to declare the emergency. CONGRESS HAS PREVIOUSLY GRANTED THAT POWER. Having said that, the only reason that a member of Congress can vote to stop the declaration of an emergency is because he/she simply does not want to address the existing emergency. In other words, the member does not care about solving the problem.

            In my opinion, the only reason for anyone to oppose the declaration of an emergency is because they hate President Trump and will oppose him in everything regardless of the consequences. Therefore, I can only conclude that the Republican house members who voted against the emergency declaration did so out of a hateful opposition to President Trump. If you support President Trump, and especially if you want the crisis at the border corrected, I assume that you do not support any republican house member opposed to the declaration of an emergency. The 13 Republicans who joined the Democrats in rebuking the emergency declaration were Reps. Justin Amash and Fred Upton of Michigan, Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, Mike Gallagher and Jim Sensenbrenner of Wisconsin, Jaime Herrera Beutler and Cathy McMorris Rodgers of Washington, Will Hurd of Texas, Dusty Johnson of South Dakota, Thomas Massie of Kentucky, Francis Rooney of Florida, Elise Stefanik of New York, and Greg Walden of Oregon. If you want the crisis at the border dealt with, then I cannot see any way that you can support these Republicans for re-election, and I certainly oppose their re-election. Maybe they can run as a Democrat.
