    "Tsing Tao" is the idiot who said stop fretting about the Supreme Court nominations they would NEVER overturn Rode vs Wade. And of course I must remind people that he is an extremely selfish man as proven throughout the Covid pandemic so that's the lens through which he evaluates all govt policy. Hardly a guy to talk about any of this really we all know characters like this in our lives they are generally best avoided they only care about themselves and possibly their family ( at least the parts they didn't disown because they voted for Obama :) ).

    Others are noticing the 'unchecked Executive power' part of my equation... the news has been handy today, giving example after example I can point to.

    American Bar Association Says Trump Is Not Following The Rule Of Law
    "No American can be proud of a government that carries out change in this way," the group's president wrote in a searing statement.

    The American Bar Association issued a blistering missive on the chaos President Donald Trump has unleashed in the early days of his second administration, urging the nation’s courts and attorneys to stand as a bulwark for the rule of law.

    “It has been three weeks since Inauguration Day. Most Americans recognize that newly elected leaders bring change. That is expected,” ABA President William R. Bay began the statement.

    “But most Americans also expect that changes will take place in accordance with the rule of law and in an orderly manner that respects the lives of affected individuals and the work they have been asked to perform.”

    Trump has issued dozens of executive orders since Jan. 20 as he seeks to radically restructure the federal government with the help of billionaire adviser Elon Musk and his so-called Department of Government Efficiency.

    While never mentioning Musk by name, Bay skewered decisions made by DOGE including the dismantling of USAID, an agency created and funded by Congress.

    Not if Trump has anything today about it. He literally said, point blank when asked, that he does not see JD as his successor last Sunday and that he had a lot of other options.

    Reality TV forever.

    I'd be absolutely for Congress looking at things selectively, but we all know they won't. They're all in bed with lobbyists, and the whole thing is corrupt. That's just my opinion.

    They'll delay, obfuscate and continue to make it so they can remain at the teet.
