Well, well it's Tillis now. Even a dead digital clock will be right at the end of time:

Now, all of a sudden, he noticed the GOP king?

Senator Thom Tillis has announced his intention to vote in favor of a resolution to formally disapprove of President Donald Trump declaring a national emergency on the border.

In a Washington Post op-ed tonight, Tillis prefaces his criticism by emphasizing he is with Trump on border security issues and understands his frustration with Congress.

but his stated reasoning is intellectually honest.

I don't want to see any President wield that kind of power. There is a process for declaring national emergencies, and i don't see any Congress, current or future, putting up a fight over an actual national emergency.
