While the United States has plenty of real problems to deal with, Trump is ignoring them to manufacture fake emergencies. Why? He wants more power — and in the process, he’s subjecting millions to real harm. America’s actual national emergency is Donald J. Trump.

His mistake was taking the assignment to begin with rather than resigning. The wisest lawyer so far is SDNY's Hagan Scotten who said when resigning: “I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.”
