Democrats Have the Votes

Update: The Senate voted for the joint resolution to rescind MacOrange's bogus "national emergency", sending a strong rebuke to the dirtbag occupying the Very White House.  Twelve Repugnants joined Democrats voting for the joint resolution. Trumpilini has promised to veto the legislation and continue building his Wall of Shame using appropriated funds from the Department of Defense.  However, congressional rebuke sends a strong single to the courts which will address the the issue of separation of powers.  Sixteen states have filed suit to declare his reckless insistence on building a useless monument to his inflated ego unconstitutional.
 
{05/03/2019}Rand Paul (R-KY) has given Democrats the last vote they need to block Hair Further's unconstitutional usurpation of Congress' spending powers.  Paul said he could not support the abuse of "emergency powers" to allow the President to get more money for his ridiculous Wall of Shame in the desert.  'Mericans should breath a sigh of relief for if the would be dictator in the Very White House got his way, the path would lead straight to fascism, full stop.  Rand told Fox News (aka Trump's billboard) that he would vote against the joint resolution when it reaches the Senate because he thinks it unfair to treat Trump differently from Obama when his party railed against the DACA rules giving certain child immigrants relief from deportation.  Sens. Lamar Alexander (R-TN) and Ted Cruz (R-TX), have also expressed opposition to the King of Debt's abuse of power.  The joint resolution passed the House last week 245-182.  Thirteen Repugnants joined the majority.

Individual I has already promised to veto the resolution when it reaches his desk.  The validity of his non-nonsensical emergency declaration will end up being decided by a conservative Supreme Court.  Perhaps they still have some respect for the separation of powers doctrine.
