Good morning, Donald, it’s Nancy.
I had hoped you’d pick up the telephone and talk with me.
Oh well, what I would have
preferred to say to you personally, I’m not adverse to leaving in a message.
Regarding your decision to reopen the
government I think you might imagine that the State of the Union is low hanging
fruit; that I'll be otherwise consumed, negotiating. And I will be.
However. You’ll remember that
while I did say once government was reopened we could discuss your address to Congress
and the Nation. I do. And in bringing it up I’d like to advise you that I do
not see that it is possible to accommodate you until the fourth week of February,
February Nineteenth, Twentieth.
Of course, this is incumbent
upon whether the government remains open; the State of the
Union is not possible if government is closed. We have affected that precedent.
Regarding your remarks, you’ll
recall, you said if an agreement is not met by February Fifteenth, I’ll quote you,
I will use the power afforded to me under the laws and the Constitution of the
United States to address this emergency.
Donald. Please. Let me also quote
the dictionary regarding the definition of an emergency: it is a serious,
unexpected, and often dangerous situation requiring immediate action.
The definition of a crisis is
similar.
Immediate action was not included in your poor decision to shutdown the government, the Trump shutdown, which endured thirtyfive days, now is reopened, then to proceed another twentyone days, then facing your threat of emergency action provided you by law and the Constitution.
Emergencies do not languish.
Nancy hung upunder her breath she muttering Sometimes I’m possessed to think he’s
as dumb as a rock
