Clyburn: "People better get serious about this. When he says he's not joking about throwing away the Constitution, which is what he'd have to do to have a third term, and we are not gonna rise up in opposition to that? I think it's time for us all to wake up."

Supreme Court in Kendall v. U.S. ex rel. Stokes (1838): federal courts can order the Executive to make payments for which Congress has appropriated funds; the contrary "would be clothing the President with a power to control the legislation of Congress and paralyze the administration of justice."

"At some level you can think of a block of aluminum as a block of solid electricity." The US imports aluminum from places where the cost of electricity is less than half our own. And there's no way a domestic industry is going to start back up based on Trump's inconstant whims. [Coyote]

Too many Republican Congressmen fear Trump more than anything else. Too many of their Dem colleagues fear any kind of fight at all. Holding town halls — all comers welcomed, no question off limits — shifts the focus to the people members of Congress are supposed to serve. Not pictured: Troy Nehls
