“We, and our Republican colleagues, must speak out against this contrived national ‘emergency,’” former Republican Congressman Mickey Edwards said.
A group of 19 former Republican members of Congress have denounced President Donald Trump's efforts to redirect funds to build a wall along the border of Mexico and the U.S., calling the efforts “unconstitutional” in an amicus brief supporting a lawsuit against the move.
President Donald Trump tours the border wall between the United States and Mexico in Calexico, California, on April 5. An amicus brief, by 19 former GOP lawmakers, was filed in support of a lawsuit brought against the president’s national emergency declaration. SAUL LOEB/AFP/Getty Images Many conservatives have raised concerns over Trump’s decision to declare the national emergency, arguing that it sets a dangerous precedent. They have warned that the Republican president’s actions could then be used to justify a Democratic head of state declaring an emergency over gun violence or other political issues against Republicans wishes.
