Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) and other Republican lawmakers are breaking rank
with their own party and supporting a resolution to overturn President
Trump's national emergency declaration over border wall funding.
"I can't vote to give the president the power to spend money that hasn't
been appropriated by Congress," Paul said, according to the Bowling Green Daily News.
"We may want more money for border security, but Congress didn't
authorize it. If we take away those checks and balances, it's a
dangerous thing."
BENEDICT ARNOLD!!!
Of course, this is all political and it’s ultimately meaningless
because Trump will veto it, and the opponents of his national emergency
don’t have enough votes to overcome it. Still, it will hurt him
politically a little bit. Not much really. On the other hand, he really
needs to expand his support beyond his base, or we’re gonna see a replay
of the midterms…
also, #MAGA!!!
