'Rarely in our Nation's history has the Executive Branch launched such an assault on Congress's exclusive legislative powers,' the brief reads.

A bipartisan group of more than 100 former members of the House of Representatives filed a court brief Tuesday in a case challenging the President's national emergency declaration.

The case, brought by the House of Representatives, seeks to block President Donald Trump from circumventing Congress to fund his signature border wall. "Rarely in our Nation's history has the Executive Branch launched such an assault on Congress's exclusive legislative powers," the amicus brief says, citing the President's national emergency declaration that allowed him to circumvent Congress and obtain funds for his border wall.

Former House members? Former? Who cares!

Last president Obama

No it was just four years ago, don’t forget AG Holder is still held in Contempt.

Again, nothing or any other anti American does can stop what is coming. Widely acknowledged the House will fall. Enjoy the show.

Former House members? Is this comparable to infinite term limits? The CURRENT members of the House have the vote, and citizens will vote for them accordingly. If Americans feel 1000's a people a day illegally entering America isn't a problem, they will accept this premise.

Rarely in out nations history has Congress been populated with so many people afraid to make decisions

NEVER IN OUR NATION'S HISTORY HAVE WE SEEN LEGISLATORS GO AFTER A SITTING PRESIDENT LIKE THEY HAVE TRUMP

Hyperbole

Dammit! If only they’d thought of this WHILE they were IN Congress! Aw, man...so close...Don’t you just HATE when that happens?

They've lost every case that's reached the mediating branch for final judgment.

Such BS.

Other way around

Facebook Mark Zuckerberg has become the Scariest Dictator on Earth. Censoring its members. Facebook is not Trumps Mega Church. Stop buying from Facebook Advertisers.

Even New York Times says there’s an emergency at the border! 100,000 people a month crossing illegally is an a problem?

And yet, the Supreme Court rules in Trumps favor, showing he was right in his actions. CNN , stop misleading!

'Assault' from the Executive Branch, ? That says it all. is not a serious outlet.
