"Dems care about the constitution."
Here, let me fix that for you: Dems care about their interpretation of the constitution.

They endorsed gun control measures as far back as the 1934 NFA.
Apparently you do care as they are your boogeyman that enables the laws and styles of laws you want implemented.
LOL you're terrified of the country club Fudds who sell out rights wholesale to pander to you and seek donations from us, to fight what they not only helped to create but gave a wink and nod to!

I think about many other things.

Do I propose to the girlfriend in a year or two?
Do I pay off the skidsteer next month or should I continue to pay off the borrowed amount to have as a tax deduction?
Where did that wrench disappear to?
Is there any good pizza to be found in Florida? Or like Ponce DeLeon continue to seek pizza as the mythical fountain of youth?
Are my guys getting by okay?
Will the new trainee stay or is he not going to like working in the sun heat and humidity?
Oh crap what time does the bank close? Will I make it to deposit checks and cash in time?
Who designed the duck bill platypus? Or is it a result of a beaver getting drunk and taking a duck back to the dam at closing time?
Do I want steak or tacos for dinner? If I get steak tacos I get both... that's a win.
If white is a color, where does the white go when snow melts?
Should I splurge and buy that hellcat challenger I want or wait a year or two and buy one with cash up front?
Can aluminum be magnetized?
How much would it cost to make a molten salt nuclear reactor?
Is it possible to split atoms to get desirable fission byproducts like rare earth metals and no harmful actinides like cesium/strontium?
If greenhouse gasses are causing or contributing to global warming, why are we not filtering the air to remove said contaminants from it?
How much wood, could a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck, could chuck wood?
Realistically not much. They're fat little things with stubby "arms" but what if they could?

Very little of what I think about daily falls under the realm of political/other controversies.

Learn the meanings of "national security" and "sovereign/head-of-State" get back to us.

When you learn the meanings, I'll help you connect the dots between "national security" and "sovereign."

Then I'll help you understand that if Congress fails or refuses to provide for, or enhance, the national security of the US, a President has the right, power and authority to take any action not expressly denied in the Constitution to provide for, or enhance, the national security of the US.

I can't see the right accepting that or waiting on the courts to take action. The ONLY way to prevent this at this point is bipartisan legislation to reign in the executive branch. Agree or disagree? Did Trump just make civil war inevitable?

LOL!


Wake me when the shooting starts.


Oh, yeah.... and adjust your meds please.

Remember, it was our Congress that decided to grant these Powers to the President.

Under the Emergency Powers Act, the president can:

- Shut down communications facilities and radio stations
- Freeze Americans' bank accounts
- Seize American citizen's assets.
- Suspend the prohibition on government testing of chemical weapons on human subject
- Suspend the prohibition on government testing of biological agents on human subjects

It's naive to assume that Congress has the power to balance these powers. One a National Emergency is declared, the President has granted himself extra-legal power. Do you really think that Trump won't use these powers?
