So i know politics is littered with national emergency threads at the moment but i'm still interested to know:

For those who think trump has made a good, wise and justified decision here, why do you think it was a good, wise and justified decision?

How do you feel about a president using a national emergency to bypass congress in order to achieve his political aims?
Would you be happy if a democratic president did the same?

So, I chimed in, triggered the Reps, but I realized that I never actually answered the question.

So... my view is, it depends on the issue at of concern. Would I agree on this for a WALL? Fuck no. Its a vanity project. Would I agree on the issue being, say, healthcare? Again, no. That can be done via Congress.

I suppose it would depend solely on the issue. Party lines don't come into play for me. It's all about the policy.
