ACLU To Sue Trump Administration Over Border Emergency Declaration (legal, activist, fence)

[Ultor]

I don't believe ACLU has 'standing' to sue in this instance, but we'll soon see.

DACA was an EO....where was the ACLU on that ? LOL........and Gay Marriage wasn't passed by Congress, it was passed by the courts, legislating from the bench......where was the ACLU then?

I have to find the tweet from earlier, some congressional expert predicted at least a dozen lawsuits by Monday.

Is it in the Constitution that the President is responsible for the safety of the people?

Yes, it does. It gives wide latitude to the POTUS in ensuring national security.

No they're not. Article IV, section 4 of the constitution... read it.

how is he digging his own grave? since day #1 he is against Democrats and RINOS in his own party that are against border security and immigration enforcement. He is using the hand he was dealt with. He is not ignoring the border problem like every President has done before him.




Does Coulter have a better plan?

The ACLU..........and America hating group of fools............what a shock

No surprise. The ACLU has a history of suing or threatening to sue anyone that wants to stop crime and violence. They never have any qualms with making sure violent criminals don't face the consequences of their bad behavior.

I call it the Art of the Steal. Trump has an epic fail in negotiating, so he decides to use a national emergency, which other presidents have done for legitimate rasons, for his own illegitimate reason.
