You suggested extreme measures which IMHO could only be justified by an emergency.

I suggested no such thing, the constitution says extraordinary, not "emergency".

Dubbing something a crisis does not make it so.

It just does not make sense for dems to allow a possibly manufactured short term "crisis" to force an "emergency" vote on what could only be a long term solution with long term negative consequences.
Those are matters of subjective opinion. the President's POWER to convene them is a fact, whether they choose to actually have a vote is for them to decide. It is called checks and balances.
