Ed Markey on Twitter: "The Swine Flu epidemic. 9/11. Hurricane Katrina. All declared national emergencies. Nat'l emergency declarations aren't a tool of political convenience or grandstanding. They are meant to confront real crises & unite the country, not divide it over a manufactured vanity project."

  And I'm fairly certain that literally no one objected to those other real emergency declarations.

  Agreed but why should Senate, Congress and Trump cabinet get paychecks while Fed employees don't? End shutdown or pay the folks now.

  It would be an abuse of his power. He should be impeached for that. (And plenty of other things too)

  Good, now write legislation that would establish objective conditions and limits of action for the declaration of all future National Emergencies.

  I suggest people do research for themselves. Child stealing in South America and trafficking of children world wide. Sure drugs are a problem but it's the children that once Trump found out about our role at the southern border and aims to stop it.pic.twitter.com/5K3gNIXh2Z
