Judge Nap: Trump's Brazen Unconstitutional Overreach

[TheCount]

Yes, especially those from Europe, they may have had more authoritarian government systems but their rulers didn't tend to micro-manage them as has become fashionable in modern times.

What universe is your alternate-reality freedom-version of the 1600s and 1700s from?

 

[Swordsmyth]

How would that affect their genetic-cultural voting habits, though, given that they had 0 political power?

I never said it was genetic and I told you they were more freedom oriented then as opposed to now, they were used to governments that had far less control of their lives.

Religion and government were functionally one and the same, and every single aspect of the serf's life from birth to death was determined by government. In which ways were they more free? What about their life was less governed?

Everything you said is wrong.

 

[Superfluous Man]

Congress granted him the money when they passed the emergency law.

There does not exist any such law.

And you know this, as proven by your inability to find it, even though you keep claiming it exists, and keep getting asked to cite it, and keep being unable to.

If it exists, then cite the specific law, so we can actually check it and see where it says what you claim it does.

Both of those codes specifically stipulate that the president's authority to authorize those uses of funds is limited to national emergencies that require the use of the Armed Forces.

I see you haven't been paying attention. President Trump has been using the military with regard to wall construction and repair, and last week order more troops to the border, one assignment involves construction and repair of the barrier/wall.


Try keeping up with what is happening before posting. The codes I posted,

See: ​

10 U.S. Code 2808 and 33 U.S. Code 2293,​

contrary to judge nap's BS, do allow President Trump access to certain funds for the stated emergency.

The Democrat Party Leadership has been encouraging the current ongoing invasion of our southern border since 1985 when amnesty was granted to 2.5 million illegal entrants in return for a guarantee to build a wall and secure our border. And here we are today, no wall, but 10-15 million new illegal entrants and the invasion continues

I have been paying attention. It looks like you misunderstood.

Yes, I know Trump has been using the military. But not to do something that only the military can do, which is what the codes you cited stipulate.

How do you know that the wall could be built by someone other than the armed forces? First, by all the border walls that have already been built by other agents. Second, by the fact that Trump spent so long negotiating for a budget that would fund construction of the very same wall by means other than use of the armed forces.

The only reason he's using the armed forces to do it is as a way to make it fit those codes (as I said in the post you just replied to).

They didn't think that immigration in the absence of controls was an invasion and they didn't impose controls because the population was so small and the territory was so large that they thought immigration would be a good thing because the rest of the world wasn't so different from us regarding liberty but they foresaw the potential need to control immigration and built that power into the Constitution, they would most certainly have classified 20+ Million people entering in violation of restrictions we set as an invasion.

Just noticed I haven't negged your nonsense in awhile...

Are you seriously trying to "infer" what you think the Founders would have thought about this present situation to suit your own xenophobia? How convenient.

Tell us, what evidence are you using for this inference? About none, right??

Can he invade Mexico under the War Powers of the Executive and as the head of the military and have the mission be to build a wall?

No

I've read that there's some money that's been appropriated for military construction in Wisconsin and Missouri which could be diverted. How many billions of dollars do you suppose that the Navy spends on construction in Wisconsin and Missouri?

Future planning as that is where our new coastline will be after global warming.
