They've got nothing. If they had the power to pass it, they'd do it and not threaten executive action. All this shows is that they're operating from a position of weakness-- any executive order on this topic will be ineffective and/or immediately be halted in court. They've got nothing.

Exactly. If they have the votes, they would’ve done it already. To me this is they don’t have the votes and are just looking to play keep their base. We shall see what they do next.

they can’t kill their boogeyman, they need it around to justify their increasing power. same reason trump didn’t drain the swamp.

I think more it's why the GOP elites wouldn't let him drain the swamp, but yea the political machine believes if it actually achieves a goal then they would be out of the job.

They need something to stick in the flyers they send out.

It's like radical environmentalist, do something or the world will end, but nothing you do is enough because then the money would stop.
