      I agree with this, but I would still have voted yes in his shoes. https://twitter.com/mattklewis/status/1106273826147614723 …

      2. One of the problems with bipartisan action on Constitutional limitations like separation of powers is that the two parties don't just have different political & policy goals; they also have fundamental differences on how the system is supposed to work at all.

      3. Thus, even when Democrats see a Republican doing damage to the structure of our system, they want only to restrict Republican power; they never want to actually prevent future Democrats from doing the same thing bc they don't see the Constitutional problem.

      4. So Republicans are stuck: they have no options for bipartisan action that outlasts Trump's term. Democrats want to build a record that this is an abuse of power, but they don't want to actually limit the power to rule out future abuses.

      5. This goes well beyond this issue, or this particular power. It's chronic in questions over the proper role & functions of the branches of the federal government. The two parties simply don't even agree anymore on what our system of government *is*.

          6. Should Congress get to decide what the federal government spends money on? Should executive agencies make law? Should presidents control federal law enforcement and intelligence? If we don't even agree on these fundamental rules, of course we can't defend them together.

          Okay, but then the Republicans have conceded the fight over the principle. The executive gets more power.

          Congress can’t agree on border security so the question becomes how many crossers constitutes an emergency

          I’m left wondering why no Republican has asked “how many illegals crossing in one month would constitute an emergency.”
