“And if the blind lead the blind, both will fall into a pit.” Matthew 15:14(b) (ESV).
My name is Abraham Hamilton, III and this is The Hamilton Minute.
12 Republican Senators joined the Democrat caucus to vote against President Trump’s declaration of a national emergency on the southern border in an effort to fulfill his promise to build a wall.
Interestingly, the 12 GOP Senators all employed some form of argument that suggested that the emergency declaration somehow violated the constitutional separation of powers principle.
But, the President’s declaration squares with the National Emergencies Act of 1976… which was passed by Congress.
That’s why arguments about the constitutionality of the actions are disingenuous. If Congress doesn’t like the actions it has the power to repeal the law.
