      @DouthatNYT @jacklgoldsmith See my chain with @marty_lederman. I challenge whether "abuse" is the right word for presidents invoking statutory standby authorities consistent w/ Congressional will; this is more a semantic complaint about "emergency" being used as a term of art to mean "special circumstance."

    @DouthatNYT @jacklgoldsmith @marty_lederman ... which is why Congress never bestirred itself to check how presidents have used these statutes until now -- why, as Trump said Friday, nobody complained about the nearly five dozen previous such declarations. The present situation is not analogous.
