Not what you said when the Obama administration used regulations to cause changes they could not get legislatively.

While I applaud the idea of the new regs, I doubt they will hold up in court.

Which means, "not getting it done," probably.

Do members of this forum dispute the statement by US Border Patrol that "it would have been much worse had teargas not been used"?

Paint the picture for us.

What happens next?

How many do we simply allow to cross the border?  And where do they go?

None...until they are processed/ thoroughly investigated and approved by the US govt for resettlement.
Let them in...where do they go...set up shanty towns in parks in US towns?

If Trump lets them just walk in … he's finished politically.

This may be true but not the reason he is doing it.

I agree with kiiid.

He's doing it because he can. Because he's a bigot. Because he "made a promise" and he sees a way to use this for political capital.

And because it never dawned on him that it was far cheaper to send a bunch of hearing officers there to speed up the process and alleviate the humanitarian crisis.

And it’s big business...

"Don't investigate me, or else!"

Trump approaching full freak-out mode. 

Illegal installation of an unqualified and corrupt toady as the nation's top law enforcement official.  Daily tweets blasting Mueller.  Open obstruction of justice by dangling a pardon for Manafort while his criminal proceedings are ongoing.  And now threatening (probably illegally) to declassify docs just to prevent constitutionally mandated oversight of the executive (can't even imagine the uproar from FOX-land if Obama had made a similar threat over Solyndra! and Benghai!)

Yeah.  Donald Trump is totally innocent.

Yep

And we all know everything Trump does needs to be challenged in court

Country be damned!

Larry Klayman and.Scott Pruitt say hello. The right has gotten very good at denouncing their own tactics these last two years.

Even if this ends up being the whole story (and I don't think it will be) the crazy thing is that Trump betraying the country and distorting our democratic process all so he can build a tower in Moscow is totally fucking predictable.

But as long as Trump keeps out the Brown People, his supporters will defend him.

[kiiidcarter8]

Heh

Tactics?

Obama was sued by Republicans about 6 times a year on average.

Dems sued Trump 35 times in year 1.

[kiiidcarter8]

By the way, Obama has been by far the worst presiden in the last 4 decades when it comes to win rate in Supreme Court.

[bankshot1]

heh

so when do the words "unindicted co-conspirator" once again become part of the national discussion?

Thumbs up!

Feel free to console yourself with the fact that Obama lost 7 percent more Supreme Court cases than Bush did when your idol becomes the first ever former President to be indicted.
