I think that we are very close to the President invoking the National Emergencies Act (1976) if for no other reason than to pay those being hurt by the shutdown and the failure of Congress to take any action. This will create even greater controversy, but the intractable course that the left seems attached to may leave him little choice. I can’t see the president content in hanging these folks out to dry.
We have only ourselves to blame for permitting hate for one man to govern the conduct of those who represent us—or at least should be!
