State of Emergency

    President Trump is usurping the power of Congress when he decides to circumvent the latest budget appropriation which did not include full funding of a wall on the Mexican border.  If it was an emergency, why was there so much time to debate the issue in Congress.  An emergency is when there is no time for a  debate.  Trump is acting like a spoiled child  trying to get his way.  And worse for the country, he is acting like he was the absolute law and can ignore the Constitution.

 I am for secure borders and legal immigration.  A wall is symbolic of insularity, hostility and prejudice.  I much prefer the symbol of the last century the Statue of Liberty in New York harbor.

The only thing I fear more than our puffed up, strutting, reality tv star president is the opposition which has gone off the charts of all reality based thinking.
