Reader C,
One simple question challenges the premise of the beat on Trump piece.
Which comes first under the Constitution, the protecting the good People from whom all government authority and power flows, which We the People created to serve and protect us, or supporting the Congress who’s negligence created the problem Trump is attempting to resolve?
The Who’s on First question is so often conveniently ignored to the point that many of us common people now know the largest part of government operations are dedicated to serving others over the good People.
Go figure.

Reader M,
President Trump is trying to stop the invasion on our southern border. Obviously, the reason that Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi are fighting against the border wall is that they have been bought off and threatened by a Mexican drug cartel. If the Dems were not controlled by the cartel, they would vote for the wall as they did in 2016, making the Constitution work-around unnecessary. Dr. Paul, under the current conditions in Congress, what president Trump is doing IS NECESSARY!

A few snips from the article,
: President Trump’s emergency declaration is not just an end run
: around Congress. It is an end run around the Constitution.
: Article One of the Constitution gives Congress sole
: authority to allocate federal funds.
: While President Trump’s order may be a particularly blatant
: abuse of power, it is hardly unprecedented. Most modern
: presidents have routinely used so-called national
: emergencies to expand their power, often at the expense of
: liberty. For example, Present Franklin Delano Roosevelt
: used “emergency powers” to justify internment of
: Japanese-Americans during World War Two.
: President Trump, like other recent presidents, is relying on
: the 1976 National Emergencies Act for legal justification
: for his emergency declaration. This act gives the president
: broad powers to declare national emergencies for almost any
: reason. All the president need do is inform Congress he has
: declared an emergency. Once the emergency is declared, the
: president simply needs to renew the declaration once a year
: to maintain a state of emergency. Since this act passed, 59
: emergency declarations have been issued, with 31 of those
: still in effect.
: Another statute giving the president broad “emergency” powers
: is the Defense Production Act. Under this law, the
: president can force private businesses to produce goods for
: the military. The law also enables the president to impose
: wage and price controls and even make loans to private
: businesses. All a president need do to invoke these vast
: powers is submit “findings” to Congress that “national
: security” requires the president seize near-dictatorial
: control of certain industries or even the entire economy.
: According to the Congressional Research Service, some
: presidents have invoked the Defense Production Act without
: making the required findings to Congress, and the act has
: been used to justly federal interference in areas having
: little or nothing to do with national defense.
: Section 606(c) of the Communications Act gives the president
: “emergency” power to seize control of every television
: network, radio station, smartphone, laptop, and other
: electronic devices.

My point of view,
The simple solution is to stop giving away free shit!
No expansion of government.
No taxpayer expense.
Why doesn't Trump arrest corrupt congress critters?
Why don't the States reign in their corrupt congress critters?
Why don't the populations of the States reign in their corrupt congress critters?
