Oh but it sure as hell is. Even assuming emergency powers are constitutional as a general matter, the Constitution explicitly gives congress the power of the purse.

That, plus the fact that there is no evidence justifying Trump's manifestly fake emergency declaration -- unconstitutional. No question.

Congress shouldn’t have passed a dumb statute

Congress is the dumbest branch
Even if Trumps emergency declaration is statutorily valid, that does not make it constitutional. To override the constitution you need a constitutional amendment.

Sure, go ahead and make that argument

You will dismantle the entire administrative state in the process

Gayness runs in our family so I got an eye for it.

So does suicide.

Hmmm.
Whenever I see sad gays, I’m like WTF

You should be killing it at some buff pool party on E

Funny part is that almost $3b of the money Trump identified has already been spent. He can’t even declare an emergency properly
