Will Trump's Declaration of Emergency Authority to Build His Wall be Upheld?

« on: February 18, 2019, 09:13:58 PM »

I'm curious to see just how craven and slavish the Supreme Court has become that it will still defer to Trump even after he publicly admitted that his 'emergency declaration' isn't actually an emergency.

Just so everyone knows what Ernest is referring to:

The National Emergency Act

And:

10 U.S. Code § 2808 - Construction authority in the event of a declaration of war or national emergency
