Have you ever read a transcript of the Supreme Court's oral arguments? They won't ask what anybody was thinking but they will ask what actions had already been taken and why the normal legislative procedure could not used to address the border wall issue. Their questions are usually short and to the point.

A response of "We did not have the votes to defeat a filibuster," will not get the Trump administration very far. That is a pretty lame excuse for a president whose party controlled Congress for two full years.

"There is a dire emergency on our southern border and Congress has not passed any laws to address the situation nor allocated the funds necessary to address the situation."
