Yes, and I won't come on here to disagree with you. It's not the red light that makes the cars stop.

He doesn’t and it is but only if Congress honors their Article 1 responsibility.

radbeard.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yeah, the Republicans will get right on that. Good to know we have the fail safe of Republicans impeaching trump between us and "the president doesn't get to suspend the laws"

Can he set the penalty to $0 the same way that he did for the ACA individual mandate? That might be legal and has roughly the same effect.

The TikTok ban says hi, or it would if Trump hadn’t suspended it

Well, sure, but only if he's impeached, and even then, only if he's convicted. And even then, the Supreme Court...

Not quite. The new regs have been stayed by court action several times, and the House passed a bill to delay by 408-0 in the last days of the 118th. Treasury is issuing reg with new deadline and presumably different requirements.

Not contesting what the law says, just pointing out there is strong bipartisan congressional support for delay and that Courts have been sympathetic too.

The courts have been mixed, with many rejecting opponents’ arguments or overturning stays from lower courts. Tbh it’s largely on the Biden admin for slow walking the rule-making process.

wbianco.bsky.social•2 days ago

Interesting. Didn't look deep enough on the court cases. Re slow-walking, is this a case where the initial legislation was considered overly broad, at least post-hoc?

(1) FinCEN chose to do both an ANPRM and a PNRM and split it across 3 separate rulemakings

(2) a lot of the complexities that were considered for the bill itself were excluded and kicked to rule making - it was not new ground

(3) the first proposed bill was in 2008 & many versions adressed issues

Does impeachment count if Republicans refuse to use it?

bkiehn.bsky.social•2 days ago

But they won't impeach him so he actually will get to suspend any laws he wants

rareearthvitamins.bsky.social•2 days ago

Impeachment doesn't work, was probably never effective, and is no longer a reasonable response to this level of criminality.

Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, impeachable offense, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha. Add it to the list. You may need another piece of paper. Sh*t, you may need another ream
