okay, so let s continue. let s say we re in this upside down world, nia-malika henderson, and hopefully the government wants to right this and so, all right, they reopen the government for three weeks, they try to get their together and what if they don t? i m pushing this forward. if this goes into national emergency territory, does that then, you know who wins there, i guess? is it the president because he potentially would get the money for what he wants, this wall and democrats win because they get to say, see, we didn t cave? who knows in terms of that scenario, the national emergency, whether he s going to try to move money around as something that was floated before. i m not a lawyer but it looks like any sort of declaration of a national emergency would face some court challenges. it also would defy logic in many ways. if there s a national emergency
