For John, BLUF:  So the Dems in the House of Reprsentative exerted their will on the President, but didn't expect blow back?  Nothing to see here; just move along.

Trump’s wall:  ‘This is constitutional vandalism’

From MASSterlist.

Here is the "blog post":

A coalition of 16 states, which doesn’t include Massachusetts (at least not yet), yesterday officially challenged in court President Trump’s plan to use “emergency powers” to spend billions of dollars on a new border wall, the NYT reports.

Meanwhile, protests were held yesterday in Boston, Worcester, Northampton and elsewhere against the president’s wall plan, with U.S. Rep. Ayanna Pressley in Boston calling Trump’s attempted unilateral move “constitutional vandalism” and asserting Trump has “lost all moral authority to continue to serve,” reports Jacqueline Tempera at MassLive and Simón Ríos at WBUR. George Barnes at the Telegram and Jacquelyn Voghel at the Gazette have details on the Worcester and Northampton rallies, respectively.

From an Old Gray Lady article.

Does our whole Congressional Delegation think President Trump has “lost all moral authority to continue to serve”?  I was never good in language arts in school, but I parse that to mean Representative Ayanna Pressley believes—not just thinks, but deep down believes—Resident Trump should be Impeached, and Convicted.  This is not a half measure step.  As fellow Massachusetts thinker Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “When you strike at a king, you must kill him.”  If we, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, as represented by our all Democratic Congressional Delegation are going to make war on President Trump they had better make quick work of it.  He apparently doesn't suffer fools gladly, and while there is safety in numbers, the President can find ways to diddle with us.
