Moments after President Trump announced his border emergency declaration in a Rose Garden speech, Democrats pounced, salivating over their own future national emergencies they would someday be able to declare using similar logic.

Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., touted an assault weapons ban by executive action. Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., alluded to the Green New Deal. The very thought should horrify everyone: the sheer possibility of mass gun confiscation or the unilateral imposition of a $93 trillion program which would certainly nationalize nearly half of the American economy without changing global temperatures.
