If he declares an emergency, then no shutdown right? A clean CR to keep the government open, and an emergency to fund the wall.
Seems like his best play is to say "I declare emergency!" and then not really do anything except talk about how, with this emergency he just declared, finally the problem is solved. Deplorables will be psyched but there won't really be anything to sue over.
You are probably being sarcastic, but I'll respond anyway.
Basically the courts are the primary guardrail remaining to prevent Trump from going full Dictator. Of course, the courts have been pre-stacked in his favor so I don't hold out much hope on that front.
But that doesn't mean there won't be a million lawsuits, including, but not limited to, Trump building his Wall from funds he absconds with after declaring a National Emergency.
