Greg Sargent lays out the reason why the medieval border wall is an "emergency." It's not because it's needed, but in fact precisely because they can't prove that they need it. Or rather, there is no national security or criminal enforcement reason that makes the wall necessary, only political realities.
There is some presumption that declaring a national emergency on the wall, then losing the case in courts (as Truman did during an actual war) would allow Trump a face-saving way out of his impasse.
Deeply stupid and deeply wrong.
