part of cleaning up government corruption is going to have to be something along the lines of "things aren't emergencies just because the president says they are"........... because this is complete insanity. you can't run a country where anything the president doesn't like can just be called an "emergency" and you negate all the other branches of government. same with "national security". there has to be some kind of metric that needs to be met to declare these things. and while the courts have slapped him down for a lot of this nonsense, that takes time, and you can't have things happening like the national guard being turned on the american people while we wait for 6 months for a court to hear the facts.
