A Lesson From The Founders On Conflict Resolution

national emergencyJonathan Turley – As this column discusses, there was at one time a much easier way to resolve the most bitter differences among political figures.

President Donald Trump’s declaration of a national emergency to build his long-promised border wall was met with a torrent of condemnations and threats from Democratic critics, including preparation for another heated court fight.

American politics have not been so bitter and divided since Benjamin Franklin and John Adams were forced to share the same bed in 1776.

There is a fundamental incompatibility – if not mutual revulsion – that divides our politics and its focus has fittingly become a debate over a wall.

Does the reality at the border matter?

After securing only part of the funding that he sought, President Trump declared a national emergency along the southern border to allow him to start construction with over $8bn (£6.2bn) of shifted funds to complete his signature campaign promise. For their part, the Democrats are promising immediate court challenges. Continue reading →

However, from the process logistics side, I think he had a loss. There is no other way to look at this. . . . The MAGA army is upset . . . here’s where we lose.

If people really do walk away, and they don’t come back and they don’t listen anymore . . . and say I am tuning everything out, [they] are setting themselves up to be some of the first victims of the Deep State.

borderJoe DiGenova – President Trump will have the law on his side when he uses the power of his office to secure the U.S. border with Mexico.

Congress, after the longest government shutdown in American history and weeks of negotiation, appropriated $1.375 for new physical barriers. But the bill bipartisan negotiators delivered is largely unsatisfying to both parties and will not, on its own, deliver the solutions our law enforcement professionals need.

The current political reality in Washington ensures that the crisis on our southern border will continue to go unresolved unless the executive branch steps in.

Fortunately, both the Constitution and the Congress have placed the authority to do so firmly with the President of the United States.

The pivotal Supreme Court case on executive authority is 1952’s Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. vs. Sawyer, which struck down President Harry Truman’s unilateral seizure of the American steel industry. Continue reading →
