This is how Elon and Vivek hope to gut the federal budget. They want SCOTUS to restore the “impoundment” power of the presidency. Here is their OpEd in the WSJ in which they argue the Impoundment Control Act is unconstitutional. A high stakes, dangerous strategy they seem intent on seeing through.

Being the most hated & liked liberal on the NY Post Comments section for the past 11 months has been discouraging. It’s nice to have a platform with realistic, caring people.
Thanks George Takei & Blue Sky!

Where are the f’king Democrats??? As John Stewart said, the Republicans are playing Chess while the Democrats are in the nurse’s office getting their balls unglued from their thighs!
But the bought and paid for supreme court has to serve their billionaire owners!
Sounds like the long slide from 3 EQUAL branches of power, and the making of our republic into an Autocracy.
It's all a Triangulation 📐 strategy
