But declaring national emergencies doesn't install full dictatorial powers on the president like some here and elsewhere seem to suggest, the power to just levy taxes at will and spend whatever amount of money he or she wants.That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

But the wish list that lefties are now ejaculating over that they think they'll get in January 2021 is going to be a slightly bigger shift of funds.Code:As of 9/21/10: As of 9/13/10: College Hockey 6 College Football 0 BTHC 4 WCHA FC: 1

****ing Wow.
Do as I say, not as I do. Republicans love hypocrisy. They're married to it. All the time. But, us liberals treat them like the snowflakes they are so they can't vote for us.

It's the precedent from “No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law" to ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
If that's something that can be ignored for a (self created) emergency what isn't? You give politicians a tool, they'll use it."I went over the facts in my head, and admired how much uglier the situation had just become.

As far as I can see, national health care IS a national emergency- unlike the theoretical people harmed by immigrants, the fact that we don't have national healthcare is clearly leading to more early deaths- our life expectancy has dropped, and is going in the opposite direction to other developed countries.
Poverty, for sure, causes premature death. So there's a national emergency. Direct funds there.
Climate change kills people- ask people recovering from hurricanes or fires... direct funds there.
And guns kill people- more people are killed by guns than immigrants. Direct funds to deal with that.
