I think what gets me about tonight is all the predictions about Trump declaring a “national emergency” work with the assumption that the GOP are going along with this for no other reason than provide him cover so he can reopen the gov’t without “losing face.”

Yeah, no, that’s not how this works. Assuming the predictions are right and the courts slap him down, then he suffers a greater embarassment and gets no wall funding. Plus now you’ve raised the odds of impeachment happening while giving the more vulnerable of your members incentive to go along with convicting him.

If the calculus is “This will solve all our problems,” then you morons are seriously bad at math.
