"What’s actually happening here dramatically limiting the ability of Congress to govern. It’s Congress, along with the presidency, that sets up these agencies, funds them, gives them tasks, and oversees them. It’s Congress in particular that has used administrative agencies to carry out goals that are too complex for the legislature to micromanage, or really to directly manage at all. Yes, some of this is Congress’s own fault, as they’ve reduced their own capacity. But delegation to executive branch agencies is a perfectly sensible solution to a complicated and constantly changing world, should Congress want to do that. The Court increasingly won’t let them.”

“And now we add to this a literal get-out-of-jail-free card for the president.”

“To be clear: What the Court is doing is reducing the role of Congress. And Congress is the best hope the people have to influence what the government does. At the same time, by aggrandizing the president, the Court is at least in part transforming the presidency from just another portion of the government designed to represent the people into a sovereign above the law. Roberts and his allies are not going after administrative agencies. They’re going after representative democracy — the ability of the people to do collective self-government.”

First of all, they aren’t monolithic. Young Cubans vote differently than old Cubans. But, Rick Scott has the formula…no matter the subject call your opponent a socialist. They hate socialism…but always want strongman rule.

Well, the E-mail lady did warn us…

Great. Let’s put him and Castro in crowns on billboards and stick them in Miami. Let them look at them for awhile.

Yes, good news. The debate narrative is done. There is 4 months of campaigning to go.

So many things to campaign on…

Immigration was bipartisan and passed by the Senate, but yes it was never brought to the floor.

You can talk now.

I doubt talking about something you can’t do could be called productive.

If it wasn’t clearly obvious that votes matter before, you’re not paying attention.

Sorry, but she can’t try. The floor is controlled by Republicans and they will not let her proceed.

Well congresswoman, there still is a republican majority so you’re going to have to wait for your chance. In addition, balance of powers and all that.

Here’s your bumper sticker…

No Kings, Vote Biden

I do get it and I would welcome such a decision. I just don’t believe it’s forthcoming

Countries with impoverished populations are likely to invest money on education. USAiD can help them do that.

So, you’re really not talking about permanent immigration, you’re talking about training. Good.

All true, but who is going to force change in those countries? Of course nurses are needed in the US, but are they not needed in those countries too? And when they are needed and not there, will we send some?

The statement that most people that apply for immigration are the more active and engaged in their own countries. So, if you find that to be true, it may also be true that it’s in everyone’s best interest if they remain in their countries to change them. The idea is that the US should encourage this.

Historians will look back and identify this ruling as a key moment in America’s relentless march to a dictatorship.

All to support an absolute moron.

Sounds like Richard Nixon would have had very little to worry about had this Court been around fifty years ago.

Which brings us to Trump…

A couple of years ago, I read that California needed to open a school a day to keep up with a growing population due to immigration. If you’re a California taxpayer, you’re paying it. Rejoicing is up to you.
