Supporters of the national emergency plan as a way to get the wall built are saying it's legally and constitutionally wholly up to the president to decide whether there is a national security emergency and what to do about it.
Those decisions are not, they think, properly subject to judicial review, or any sort of fact check by anyone.
But others apparently don't see it that way and say outright they expect the courts would stop Trump.
GOP senator says Trump declaration of national emergency wouldn't get wall built
A Republican senator warned on Sunday that if President Donald Trump declares a national emergency on the southern border in order to fund the construction of a border wall, the move is "going to go to court and the wall won't get built."
"I would hate to see it. Using that act, it would be -- in this instance, it would be a far larger act than has ever occurred in the past, so I'd prefer not. Primarily because if we do that, it's going to go to court and the wall won't get built," Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin told CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union."
Instead, Johnson said, he wants to "keep pressure on Democrats to actually come to the negotiating table in good faith and fund what they've supported in the past."
Democrats have never supported a wall along all or most of the border with Mexico.
But anyway it seems Bozo is currently following the advice of people who see it as Johnson does.
