Right, the USA versus loser California will see you in court, namely the US Supreme Court if necessary. Personally, I'd like to see California pay for their loss with $4.4B for a wall along their border with Mexico.

I noticed Alex Jones hosting more dangerous proposals on his website, this time an article by Rhodes regarding President Trump's decision to limit a state of emergency to appropriations for building a wall. Along with Rhodes, Jones apparently wanted President Trump to invoke military powers during the state of emergency which definitely would place the Bill of [Divine] Rights, specifically the 2nd Amendment, at risk by some future President. Actually, not much of the Bill of [Divine] Rights remains anyway, but this reckless idea by Rhodes and promoted by Jones is just plain dangerous. Wars, let me repeat it, wars need to be declared by the US Congress whether conventional or unconventional. Historically, governing powers have been using "wars" as a means of subjugating personal liberty and this proposal will only hasten it. Thankfully, President Trump is NOT listening to Rhodes or Jones. Breathe a sigh of relief, people. So far, President Trump has played a masterful game of chess despite Ann Coulter's absurd assertion that President Trump has "totally" capaitulated to the Democrats on illegal immigration. No, he hasn't "totally" capitulated, but  President Trump SHOULD have made illegal immigration the second priority of his adminstration behind the economy and commenced IMMEDIATELY in funding the wall in early 2017 instead of waiting two years.

Maybe, a time will eventually arrive to invoke military authority, but not the way proposed by Rhodes and NOT now.
