If only a previous Congress had anticipated that a president might try to usurp legislative powers.
If only we had a Congress today that would stand up for itself, and the Constitution.

But we have mostly yes people & a few who want to fight but no one will let them lead.
And I'm speaking about both sides of the aisle here.
Ils n'ont pas de couilles.
Far too many current politicians love that far too much.
The founding fathers did a shoddy job of protecting the constitution, this gov & especially The People.
They considered themselves to be the new ruling class. But with a manaic like tRump, he doesn't share power.
In the 1980s, the GOP began grooming students to secure positions in state and federal government. Millions were spent to undermine the nation's public servants, replaced with individuals of questionable character.
For more information, read Jane Mayer's book, *Dark Money*.
That's where the fight will really begin. He will make Congress worthless if they don't foresee it.

Teixeira and Winner were immediately arrested for less.
Garland is 💩
That is 100% on Garland.
At least you see the folly of it & trying to rectify it. But good god, it's a hard pill to swallow for the rest of us who saw this from Reagan onward (this includes neolibs Clinton & Obama)
rest a world should ween itself off you as fast as possible and let you carry on in your rapist criminal leader ways
and have your courts be as useless as a turd
Must read about our election
This Congress & also in "his" first term see the "ghost" of Nixon and fear "him" and "his" primary voters. They are willing to surrender their constitutional powers & relevance out of fear.
I'm worse in person motherfucker. Look forward to it.
Kristol worked for the republican administrations who brought theocratic fascism here in the first fucking place and he has the AUDACITY to open his fucking pie hole, period?
Remember Ralph Reed's Christian Coalition you asswipe?
Remember Zappa calling y'all out?
Rise up if you want to save what's left, stay silent for now if you want it all burned down.
Those are your two options.
That would be zero
Great title for a book looking back at this era. Who will step up? Is there anybody who wants to go down in history as a savior of the United States of America?

Too bad we voted for senators and house members who are beholden to the lobbyists and trump and not the people who voted them into office.
We have the correct laws, just no one fucking enforces them. It’s corrupt. The laws exist and they pick and choose when to use any of them. Somehow they’re generally used on less deserving people and evil walks away clean.
▸unite, as one, and use that power to cry, "Hell no!"
▸ stand strong and firmly resist
▸ oppose with all they are
▸ go onto legacy media and verbally, firmly and wholeheartedly DISSENT!
But the US appears not to have such a political party.😔
When they’ve had enough, they’ll just do something crazy instead. And I will either watch gleefully or join them.
I’m game.
You're not the person I look to for answers.

If only we had such a document.
YOU voted them in.
If only.
I thought you leftists frowned on that.
Alas, that requires the now extinct body part; spine.
What is the Impoundment Control Act?
Specifically, Title X of the Act – "Impoundment Control" – established procedures to prevent the President and other government officials from unilaterally substituting their own funding decisions for those of the Congress
I absolutely agree.
He wants this to go to SCOTUS so that they will give him his blessing. If they don't, it doesn't matter, he has immunity.

It also ignores the fact that they're getting exactly what they want: someone else to do their dirty work and take the heat.
Can you please explain what funding is being impacted: is it medical research only? Is technology research being impacted? What are these illegal actions costing tax payers?
