Agreed! Like violence at a protest makes it a riot, not a mostly peaceful protest, this can't be line item vetoed, it can't also be partially constitutional. Thats the problem with these huge bills versus individual bills, one unconstitutional thing makes the whole bill unconstitutional.
That’s the way I understand it. I don’t have confidence it will be held to that standard. I’m not a doomer but I’m a realist usually. If I was a realist always I’d be sad always. Last 4 years were unreal. Lot got done. Let’s not give up. I need to get to DC. It’s a super bad time for me. I’ll try anyway. I need work. Might have a job kicking off around then. I got screwed hard on work this year but didn’t take any of the unemployment crap. Maybe that was stupid. I still have my pride. If the bid falls through I might can go. By then, I’ll likely have to drive. I’d rather not have my Truck there. I’ll figure it out.
Trump may have other Presidential powers and certain other abilities according to the Constitution, but the Insurrection Act specifically is not a Constitutional power.
congress has the power to declare war; the insurrection act gives the president the unilateral authority to declare war against armed rebellion/insurrection.
The president can have the cia/special forces assassinate terrorists; so he could classify the communists as domsestic terrorists and kill off their leadership, but I believe he needs specific authorization to do this domestically from the gang of 8 and the SC.
it means that they can get the SCROTUS to issue an injunction against POTUS to run out the clock while they "decide" whether it's a lawful exercise of the IA.
Can't do that. It's in the Constitution. So this means absolutely nothing. 🤦♀️
Man, I had to scroll down too far to find this correct answer! You're right -- Congress can't do shit about presidential powers.
They sure suck for trying, though.
Should make the entire thing unconstitutional. Probably does.
Wouldn't want to test that in the U.S. Scream Court. The Constitution gets in the way of their activism.
That’s a big 10-4.
Can't we just clone Thomas and Alito 4 times each and leave Roberts to REEEEEEE
💯
You would need a Supreme Court that followed the law in order to get that finding. Not real confident in SCOTUS at the moment.
Agreed

I mean, you'd fucking think the unlimited spending on Pakistani Gender Whatever would be the thing that makes it unconstitutional, but here we are
Well said. We went full retard. You’re never supposed to do that.
It is NOT in the Constitution. It's a federal law passed in 1807.

Yes because the constitution is so sacred to them.
215 - 190 vote , that's interesting. Means that 190 have read the constitution
It really means we have 25 traitors
true!
Plus the democrats.
No it means we have 215 traitors
