Lindsey Graham calls for Trump to use emergency powers to fund border wall

Washington (CNN)South Carolina GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham issued a statement Thursday calling for President Donald Trump to invoke national emergency powers to fund his border wall.
"Speaker (Nancy) Pelosi's refusal to negotiate on funding for a border wall/barrier -- even if the government were to be reopened -- virtually ends the congressional path to funding for a border wall/barrier," Graham said in a statement. "It is time for President Trump to use emergency powers to fund the construction of a border wall/barrier."
The statement from the key Trump ally came shortly after Graham said efforts to forge a deal with congressional Democrats had fallen flat.
GOP senators gathered in Graham's office a day prior to discuss a deal that would bring an end to the ongoing government shutdown while securing money for Trump's proposed border with Mexico.

Do you masturbate to that snowflake? Whatever will you do when NOTHING happens?
You may want to prepare yourself for Nancy Pelosi to be your next president, since the House intends to impeach both Donald Trump and his goober-smooch Michael Pence.

I am prepared to make you a permanent forum ban bet that this will NEVER happen thus proving you are full of shit snowflake. Let's see you back up this asinine rhetoric with something other than your BIG mouth.
Nah, you won't take it because you know damn well you are full of shit and just like trolling the forum with your tiresome stupidity.
Lindsey has become Trump's lackey in the Senate.
Since Jordan, Nunnes, Meadows and the like have been relegated to irrelevancy, Lindsey has taken up the mantle. He can always muster reporters and draw attention, so he's the latest Trump waterboy
Hasn't been the same since McCain passed, just needs that daddy figure

Nah, that ain't going happen, the Democrats have no reason to impeach Trump, just let the theater play out as most expect and Trump will sink his own ship
Do you think it kills two birds with one stone? He’s facing re-election and this is supporting Trump while getting a way to open government back up.
Human?????
Emperor, surely? Fartus Fartorum 1.
I don’t know why I’m surprised Republicans support this.
Dumbass; you really are a shitty lawyer on top of being an idiot:
The National Emergencies Act (Pub.L. 94–412, 90 Stat. 1255, enacted September 14, 1976, codified at 50 U.S.C. § 1601–1651) is a United States federal law passed to stop open-ended states of national emergency and formalize the power of Congress to provide certain checks and balances on the emergency powers of the President. The Act of Congress imposes certain procedural formalities on the President when invoking such powers. The perceived need for the law arose from the scope and number of laws granting special powers to the executive in times of national emergency.
