FEBRUARY 15, 2019

NEW YORK — The American Civil Liberties Union today announced that it will file a lawsuit challenging President Trump’s emergency powers declaration to secure funds to build a wall along the southern border.

CLU Executive Director Anthony Romero issued the following statement:

“By the president’s very own admission in the Rose Garden, there is no national emergency. He just grew impatient and frustrated with Congress, and decided to move along his promise for a border wall ‘faster.’ This is a patently illegal power grab that hurts American communities and flouts the checks and balances that are hallmarks of our democracy. We will be filing a lawsuit early next week. As the country’s premier defender of civil liberties and civil rights, the ACLU will always fight to ensure a robust system of checks and balances on the power of the executive, which is critical to safeguarding our democracy and defending rights.”

The ACLU will argue that President Trump’s use of emergency powers to evade Congressional funding restrictions is unprecedented and that 10 U.S.C. § 2808, the emergency power that Trump has invoked, cannot be used to build a border wall. Congress restricted the use of that power to military construction projects, like overseas military airfields in wartime, that “are necessary to support” the emergency use of armed forces.

“The Constitution assigns Congress the power of the purse, and no prior president has ever tried to use emergency powers to fund a chosen project — particularly a permanent, large-scale domestic project such as this — against congressional will. This is obviously improper,” added Dror Ladin, staff attorney with the ACLU’s National Security Project.

Additional details about the organization’s lawsuit will be available early next week.

Don't forget that the wall will reduce global warming by stopping the flow of polluted air from Mexico MORON!

This is actually the fourth "national emergency" act under Pres. Trump.

But only the "wall" is somehow controversial.
The Democrat Party simply does NOT want Trump to fulfill his campaign promise to the people so they can try to beat him in 2020.

Pure politics.

It sure is politics. The President cannot get what he wants through Congress, so he is declaring a National Emergency. That's bullshit.

$9 billion dollars to take 6 years to build a wall is not a national emergency.

This is exactly why I call you an idiot. You've earned it!

Until you need them, then they're a powerful free legal resource. I've disagreed with quite a few things they've done but they are useful.

You are hell bent on bankrupting the country while not stopping any of those things, so I must assume that you really want to keep those things going while spending our treasure stimulating mexicos economy on a wall that will not work as good as paying less on more border patrol agents and higher technology that would actually do more to combat the issue while costing less.

Isnt it ridiculous at how blind he is to any side of the argument he doesn't agree with.


Robbie's argument seems to be the POTUS so long as Robbie likes him can do anything no matter what the people, laws or Congress says..

However if he doesn't like him, then anything that potus does is wrong..

It’s in his powers granted by the legislature. That’s a fact: it really is.

In my case, 3 of their attorneys helped my attorneys with different aspects of my case, throughout the case. For free. They also contacted the media for us to take it public when the judge started doing some unusual shady shit. Once the media was in the courtroom EVERYTHING changed and he started going by the book.

HAHAHAHA Look at all those Democrat talking points!! LOL! You're so dumb. You think 0.1% of the budget will bankrupt the country! LOL! Hey dipshit- illegal aliens cost the taxpayers $120 billion per year. The wall will pay for itself by reducing this number! Get some facts, dipshit! LOL

If that is the case, why are there already lawsuits?

This is childish already. The man can't get what he wants so he is going to declare a national emergency? And then move funds around?

Sounds great to me.

What happens when a future president declares a national emergency because we don't have free healthcare, and decides to take a trillion dollars from the defense budget and give everyone free healthcare?

Or free schooling?

What happens when a future president declares a national emergency and takes away our guns? Can't happen because of the 2nd amendment? But.... but.... You just said it's within his power? How many Americans die every day at the hands of illegal immigrants? One? Ten? How many Americans die because of firearms every day? On average.... 96. Seems like a national emergency to me.

I honestly don't care. I want secure borders. I want walls, fences, and vehicle barriers where the Border Patrol things they will do the most good. I want more Border Patrol agents, I want them to be better paid, better trained, and have better gear and technology. I want law enforcement go after illegal immigrants - and also businesses that hire illegal immigrants.

What I don't want is a cry baby president who cannot get his way to cheat the system to keep a silly campaign promise.
