Congress Catch-All

[superrific]

Patently unconstitutional. We already did this with Obamacare. With 7 votes, the Court held that the provision tying receipt of Medicaid funds to implementing a state market was unlawful. There was not a sufficient nexus between the funds and the demand -- and that was within the realm of health. This is why many states did not expand Medicaid. They didn't have to, per the Supreme Court.

It is simply unlawful for the federal government to coerce states into compliance with federal laws by withholding money. Just so we all know.

Federal energy law does not supplant or preeempt state laws. Executive orders do not change that, because they are not law. Nor can regulations alone. The Supremacy clause applies to statutes. It might also apply to implementing regulations, but only as derivative of the statute. There are no statutes that I know of that would preempt state law.

The entire GOP is talking like the mob at this point.

They think 80% of the country supports their every move

Honestly, given that the Dulles brothers may be bigger bastards than Trump, I am okay with it.

If we have to name an airport after Trump, I’d think LaGuardia would be more appropriate.

I'm not a MAGA. Not gloating. I never have been overly political for one side or the other. You know who I am and my history has proven I call it down the middle.

You don't. If I recall correctly you have NEVER voted for a Republican and you are 70 or so...

If you want me banned the make the call.

Oh the simpler times of *checks notes* 9 days ago.

Ted Budd on the Intelligence Committee is one of the oxymorons people talk about.

I'd find some dog poop along a sidewalk, land an RC there, and then put a little sign in the middle of the poop: Donald J Trump International Airport.

These maga come in, play 3rd grade coy, do about five minutes of edging, then shoot their magawad all over the board. You mfers need to study Zen and gt, if you’re interested in inflicting maximal malignancy. Those two know how to support ttump, be twits, and keep fish on the line, ie the type fascist regimes rely upon to whitewash and boside oppression and brutality.

LOL. This is a genuinely funny line.

I’m good with it not being named after an inept Dulles.

Trump? No.

 

[grimes70]

Perhaps they are going to gild all the elevators in gold to truly honor this man who wants to neuter the FAA.

Let the GOP tie itself to Trump

Let the GOP tie itself to Trump

Yep. It’s going to backfire massively, and probably much sooner than we are thinking.

It's so great that Pennsylvania lost one D Senator and the other has turned into Sinema 2.0
