Rep. Scott Peters on Twitter: "If the president can declare an emergency every time he doesn’t get his way in appropriations, the power of Congress over the budget is eviscerated. Is there no principled limit to your political pandering? #OpenTheGovernment… https://t.co/oTNESSQIF1"

Speaker Pelosi’s refusal to negotiate on Wall/Barrier funding – even if the government were to be reopened – virtually ends congressional path to fund Wall/Barrier. Time for President @realDonaldTrump to use emergency powers to build Wall/Barrier. I hope it works.

  This is not just about a wall... This is about the survival of our constitutional democracy. Graham, McConnell, other GOP leaders have shown us they don't give a damn about the principles this nation was founded upon. I'm glad you do.

  While on principle I agree this is not appropriate, your objection would seem a tad less rich if you had expressed any concern whatsoever after Pres Obama did same thing over DACA. Or was it part of the “phone and a pen” clause that made it ok?
