18. I guarantee congress didn't allocate those funds

And SOCTUS will say he can divert that money from wherever to his gulags citing this unitary executive bullshit.

This was totally illegal. I want Dems to sue. I want speeches about this exact issue on the floor of the house or the steps of the capital every week.

We only hear about this on DU while it gets a quick mention at 10:30 p.m. on CNN and page 5 of any newspaper. Once.
