Rep. Ted Lieu is TOTALLY opposed to a president declaring emergency over 'made up' border crisis (but climate change is another matter)

Senator Marco Rubio presented the following hypothetical situation about a possible future Democrat president, as Hot Air reported earlier this week:

Rubio: Are you ready for President Kamala Harris declaring a national emergency over climate change? https://t.co/1CLifIrBKW pic.twitter.com/e35KmPDv1c

As for Democrat Rep. Ted Lieu, he’s opposed to Trump declaring a national emergency at the border and has called it a “made up” crisis:

"This national emergency is completely made up."

However, the Calif. congressman would think differently about presidential powers if the focus of the “emergency” was different:

And then what? Build a wall around Big Oil? If Harris runs in 2020 maybe she can make that a major campaign issue:
