US Tariffs, Sigh!

its already established that reading is hard for some people that would rather just parrot
the tldr of it all is that congress granted the president this authority, and it is not up to scotus to reinterpret assumptions.

they could always just nuke the filibuster, reopen the government, and pass more than three bills in this term that may/maynot include provisions for the extent of emergency authority
...but everyone's too hellbent on optics prior to the midterms, and are paid regardless of how much they actually get done anyways so why bother.
either way, no kings here. just your daddy and an inefficient bureaucracy that just keeps growing in numbers & incompetence.

Hope you're keeping that $100 nice and warm.

You seem to be a bit behind as well, why nuke the filibuster when a deal has been made?

See, some politicians have more than 1 brain cells, they realize if they nuke the filibuster then next term when the Dems are in charge it's fair game.... It's not about mid term and optics, it's about every future presidency.

you speak as if they wouldn't do it anyways.

I'm not the one saying they should do it. Has the Democrats ever got rid of the filibuster? Have the Republicans ? No, because they're not dumb. People calling for them to do it is just calling for the system to be even more broken than it already is, it's stupid.

The democrats aren't even the same party anymore. They are completely unrecognizable. They have gone so far left that they hate America and Americans. Trump is going to nuke the filibuster so that we can actually get things going and make America Great for everyone, even the haters will benefit. If the Dems ever get power again they will nuke the filibuster, pack the courts, and do all the crazy horrible stuff they were doing during the biden admin.

I'm glad it's not up to trump whether the fillibuster gets nuked, at least some Republicans in office still have a sense of patriotism.

We are going to vote out any "Republican (RINO)" that doesn't get their butt's in gear. It is time to nuke the filibuster and get things done. If not then nothing will actually get done and it will be very possible that the dems gain power again. And they (the dems) will nuke the filibuster and usher in all of their crazy destructive ideas (communism).

It really isn't even rocket science to get things absolutely rocking here in the USA or any country for that matter.

Can someone please explain to me what the lefty white women are doing here?

Kamala literally campaigned on ending the filibuster to stack the supremecourt
biden wanted to nuke the filibuster before that, to allow non-citizens to vote
and Obama nuked the filibuster to appoint judges.

Can you link me to where Obama nuked the filibuster? All I've seen are they suggested it.... Which every president does as a scare tactic, just like I don't think trump or Republicans would actually do it.

he defended the filibuster in 2005, and then when he got elected he started calling it a "racist Jim Crow relic"
...and then changed the rule so that appointees weren't included in the filibuster, so he could load up on federal judges, and wanted to further abolish it entirely so that he could make Washington D.C. a state.

Mature as always.
Kamala wanted to end the filibuster to reinstate abortion rights, not stack the court.
Making it easier for everyone to vote, including minorities, isn't allowing non-citizens to vote. Aren't you the one who always complains about "parroting talking points"?
Gee, I wonder why.

"As the President went on to note, in the six decades before he took office, only 20 presidential nominees to executive positions had to overcome filibusters. "But in just under five years since I took office, nearly 30 nominees have been treated this way," the President said.

In other words, half of all filibusters waged against nominations in our country's history have been waged under President Obama. And of the 23 district court nominees that have been filibustered in U.S. History, 20 of them have been Obama nominees."


But the filibuster rule stayed in effect for Supreme Court nominations until Bitch McConnell removed it in 2017 for Gorsuch (and also stole two supreme court seats that should have gone to Obama and Biden).
