In reply to "Members of Mr. Trump’s

Dennis Praeger (sp?) on talk radio saying kids being overloaded with talk about global warming, LGBT, racism, rather than important history - Gettysburg Address and the like "Four Score and Seven Years Ago or however that goes", forgetting perhaps the 'all men created equal part that follows.

Then he says Founding Fathers didn't intend an equal Democracy, but a caretaker state of monied interests. Not that he says it quite like that, but Praeger likes the powerfful elites, presuming they're this weeks version of "conservative" I should add.

So to counter Sarandon, Trump will not be able to "blow things up" to "start the revolution, just move us towards recalibrating our democracy - iterative and resilient as always?

He dismisses my point in the blog on an amendment clause for the law, the ability to block a presidential "belief" of an emergency, he says:

..any congressional attempt to wrest these powers back would likely need to overcome a presidential veto, and thus require a congressional supermajority.

No, It would not take a supermajority if the 19977 Act was amended, passed the House and Senate, and a President who recognized the danger of an out of control emergency declaring despot, agreed with, and signed, the amendment to the law.

Hahaha ! If these two dworks were in the same school and same grade, and there was "choose up" for 2 teams for some phys ed basketball, sport etc, they would, first, be the last ones to make their way down the flight of stairs and the last out on the field, then be absolute last to get picked for a team.

Not because they were unathletic, but because they were crybaby whiners and jawboning complainers, who could care less about the team and the game, guys whose addition make a team worse for their very presence.

In reply to I see Lawfare (where they are

Co-founder of Lawfare sums things up:

I'm surprised so many are surprised about the delegated authority Congress gave POTUS in IEEPA. The entire global trade war—practically every move Trump has made—was an exercise of power that the Constitution gave to Congress but that Congress gave to POTUS, with few constraints.
