    Why didn't I hear this for the 28 we have?
    Because there are good reasons for them?

    Just a guess.

    My second guess is that you don't notice things that don't fit your narrative.

    Did I win?
    You pretty concerned about Yemen are you?

    JFC - there are 31 active National Emergencies in effect. There is only 1 or 2 of these that dealt with the US - the rest are knee jerk reactions I think to appease some loud mouth (could be an org, individual, assn, or a ranking member of Congress) and his special cause.

    Yes Wikipedia is my source

    Because they actually were emergencies, not fake emergencies designed to work around what Congress has already refused to fund.
