Three Reminders Why Trump’s Xenophobia is On a Losing Streak

USA Today As Trump has noted in his tweets, Republicans broadly agree with him on the matter of bolstering border security, but they disagree with his means of using the national emergency to obtain funding. He’s also hinted in statements that the Republicans who vote against the emergency could face a revolt from the base and attract potential primary challengers. Given their longstanding reluctance to openly oppose the president, Republican senators were still looking for ways to avoid a high-profile conflict as recently as this week. Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) had proposed a bill that would amend the National Emergencies Act and limit future presidents’ power to use it, thereby somewhat addressing the “precedent” problem. In exchange for the White House’s support on the bill, a group of Republicans were open to voting against Thursday’s resolution. Trump, however, declined to back the trade. Republicans were so keen to figure something out that a trio of senators stormed a dinner Trump was having on Wednesday, to see if there was still potential for compromise, the Washington Post’s Erica Werner, Seung Min Kim, and John Wagner reported. Trump, once again, demurred. Left with few alternatives, Republican lawmakers eventually made their decision. It’s one of the only substantive times that so many have taken such action, writes the Washington Post’s Aaron Blake: When enough Republicans have crossed over to rebuke Trump, it has almost always been in symbolic ways: Jamal Khashoggi, Trump’s trade wars, the media not being “the enemy of the people,” and the withdrawals from Syria and Afghanistan. This time, there’s meat on the bone. The GOP-controlled Senate would actually be taking concrete action to stop Trump, thereby forcing Trump to veto something. It would be his first veto, in fact. This registers that he is acting in clear opposition to — and overturning — the will of Congress. As Blake notes, even though the measure is due to get vetoed, the congressional passage of the resolution matters. The congressional vote against the resolution could be used against Trump in court The next stop for the fight against the national emergency will take place in courts across the country as organizations including the American Civil Liberties Union and more than 16 states pursue lawsuits challenging Trump’s declaration. One of the arguments these suits are making is that Trump is attempting to obtain funds via the national emergency that Congress has already declined to give him, rendering his actions unconstitutional. Since Congress holds the power to authorize federal spending, as designated by the Constitution, Trump’s efforts could be seen as going around the legislative branch. The congressional vote against the resolution could be used in court to demonstrate just how much opposition there is from the legislative branch to Trump’s actions, legal experts told Vox. It could also be used to show that the emergency Trump is claiming is anything but, since Congress has now actively sought to terminate it. “When this issue gets to the courts, Congress’s view that no emergency exists might well affect how aggressively the courts review the president’s arguments to the contrary,” said Richard Pildes, a constitutional law professor at NYU. The National Emergencies Act of 1976 gives presidents a wide berth when it comes to determining what an emergency is, which could provide Trump’s declaration the cover it needs to prevail in court. Congress’s vote on Thursday, however, could definitely speak to questions about its constitutionality — if a judge ends up weighing this argument.
