Fox News senior judicial analyst Andrew Napolitano has a warning for Republican lawmakers who are sticking with President Donald Trump, even after he raided military funds to build his border wall.

They might be cheering for him now, but they could end up “weeping” later, he said.

The Constitution gives spending powers to Congress, not the president, part of the “separation of powers that Madison crafted as a bulwark against tyranny,” Napolitano said. In this case, Congress “expressly declined to give him that money,” and Trump signed the bill that denied him the cash for his wall.

Then, Trump took the money anyway, using emergency powers that Napolitano noted may have been passed into law by previous Congresses, yet are not in the Constitution.

In a video on Fox News, Napolitano said Trump has also essentially created his own sales tax ― again, a power that is supposed to belong to Congress ― in the form of his tariffs on Chinese goods, likewise done in the name of a supposed emergency. He summed it up in his column:

After years of faithless Congresses legally but unconstitutionally ceding power to the presidency, we have arrived where we are today ― a president who spends unappropriated funds, raises taxes, defies courts and changes i*********n l*ws on his own.

Napolitano warned that the same Republicans who are cheering as Trump uses these unconstitutional powers “will weep over it when a Democrat is in the White House.”

In his video presentation, Napolitano called it “dangerous to our liberty” to let the president take the powers that belong to Congress.

“When Congress lets presidents write their own laws, then he’s not a president,” Napolitano said. “He’s a prince.”

Trump can't do ANYTHING that is illegal for his office. Congress is puke and Napolitano is a chunk of ham floating in it. Fox news is becoming l*****t also. They are becoming the liquid surrounding that pile of puke.
Trump made a promise to build the wall and he is doing so in spite of a congress full of h**e against him. Only a total i***t would say we don't need a wall after 100,000 border jumpers came across in 1...that is ONE...month.

Isn't it interesting that you are now quoting Fox news...yes...the h**ed conservative Fox news...the previous joke for news...according to liberals anyway.

IMHO: You'd almost think President Trump was going to the dark side and turning into a progressive democrat extremist considering his increased use of the Executive Order and the Emergency Clause. Well, he isn't, he is just using democrat tactics to get around a Congress who h**es the country so bad that they try to stall ALL forward progress; and they hypocritically call themselves "Progressives." It isn't really President Trump they h**e, he just happens to be the one who won an e******n against their "Queen Hillary," and slowed down their c**p. Had any other candidate beat Hillary, they would be getting the same vile treatment; that's what progressive democrat extremists do since that's all they know how to do. Look at all the failed democratically run cities; they are like a mad bull in a china shop, what they can't fuck up they s**t on!

President Trump didn't "raid" the Military funding any more than the democrats "raided" the Social Security Trust Fund, he just "borrowed" some funds to get the democratically stalled wall project moving. About the only thing democrats can run is their mouths, and that's a pretty foul catharsis indeed! Democrats just can't seem to keep their greedy little hands off of other peoples money, and they use it to mainly increase their control over other people and make "friends" of others by giving them gifts paid for by honest, working, gullible taxpayers, but never their own funds. Just how long do you think these "friends" will be there for them when they run out of other peoples money? Other than a few "elites," they won't have a friend in the world to turn to for help when things come crashing down. Most of them are simply useful i***ts and quite expendable; they just don't realize it yet.

People with even half a brain know that the wall is necessary to slow or, hopefully, stop the massive hostile invasion coming into the country via the southern border, and the dems frankly don't give a damn that the USA literally cannot afford to feed and house the number of freeloaders and terrorists that are coming in; mostly, they are trying to build their democrat v**er base in order to overwhelm the 2020 e******n and regain control of the government. They may succeed if the Silent Majority stays silent and doesn't get off their butts, speak up, and take action; as it is going, the Silent Majority may become the Silent Minority due to the astounding numbers of i******s crossing the border each month! However, the dems will just crank up the paper money presses and make more fiat currency to "give away," thus increasing the national debt to ensure the bankruptcy and collapse of the USA. This financial bubble will eventually burst and the country could fall into a depression and be forced into the NWO and fail. That is their goal, their big "pipe-dream," and to Hell with the USA as a Sovereign Republic Nation and our legal citizens; if or when they manage to drive us into this tyrannical utopia, there will be no more i*****l a***ns, only unarmed illegal US citizens that used to be honest patriots, which they will either forcibly program into Socialism or eliminate by a holocaust just as Hitler did for Germany; Hitler was a democrat the people elected to run Germany.

When the government is working properly, the separation of powers act works fine. However, the government has not been working properly due to the democratic c**p and its rabid obstructionism for several decades, so we may soon need the Second Amendment to compensate for the misuse of the separation of powers that the democrats are distorting in order to aid their agenda of o*******wing the l********e P*******t we elected. Their loss of power is what they really h**e, not President Trump; it would have been the same if it was President Whomever! That's just a part of the "checks and balances" built into the Constitution. If left to fester, the country will be led over the cliff to its financial death; we cannot let that happen. Congress "expressly" declined to give President Trump money for a needed wall as a key part of their obstructionist agenda, and President Trump reluctantly used his "executive powers" to continue to protect the USA from a hostile invasion; I believe President Trump is within his Constitutional and executive power limits, and applaud his action to protect our country, which is his job, and what we elected him to do in spite of all their the democratic agitprop. President Trump is using Executive Orders, which are directives, not laws, and as such are temporary items.

The funds President Trump is using were not "unappropriated." After meetings with the Military, their appropriated funds were determined to be inconsequential to the Military programs at this time and the funds appropriated to the Military were then t***sferred to the wall project. Both the Military and the Wall are to protect the USA and our legal citizens, so the funds are still being used to protect the country from all enemies, foreign and domestic; they just don't happen to fit the agenda of the c**p the democrats are running to o*******w the USA.

I'm sure the "taxes" imposed on various trading entities will go into the general fund, not to President Trump. Judge Andrew Napolitano appears to be moving more to the left than I thought he was, which is sad, and it makes me wonder who he is working for. As to Fox News, they have been getting more liberal by the day since they were sold to liberal owners. It's almost to the point where I will refuse to watch anything on the MSM! I will have to agree that the Congress is mostly faithless, and their morals are getting pretty weak. One should remember that our Founding Fathers left us with a Republic,"If we could keep it!" and the word "democracy" never appears in our original Founding Documents because our Founders new the dangers of democracy and that democracy is just another name for Socialism.

If the conservatives, and the country, do happen to fall to the liberals, there will certainly be "tears" shed, first from the conservatives in the holocaust camps, then the liberals who run out of money and get swallowed up by the Deep State of the NWO and radical Islam. At that point, it won't matter much, because the USA will be a thing of the past, as will I.

I have often used Fox News as a source. You guys are so overwhelmingly h**eful of any one you consider to be from the Left, that you refuse to recognize my numerous threads in support of some Trump action, those against a******n (which you guys see me as pro), and challenging other actions by Democrats. (There is even one today.) But you have to be. You cannot recognize that I have written in favor of the president or against the Left because then you may have to consider what I say about Trump is true.
