Probably not, no. I’m just commenting that it’s weird to see political polling with 0% undecided.

66% disapprove of the emergency order and 34% approve? So there were no undecideds in that poll?

“A racist teenager is a racist teenager (and don’t get me started on racist vs. racial euphemism bs) and a racist person who doesn’t even know he is racist making excuses for his racist teenage behaviour is appalling.”

Well Florida’s Republican Secretary of State just resigned a little over a week ago for taking a picture of himself in blackface 15 years ago. The same day the picture surfaced even. While not totally comparable (Governor vs Secretary of State, elected vs appointed), it’s sad that Republicans can claim (nowhere near…

And it’s funny that one of the things the president can do which has direct, immediate impact on the economy - namely tariffs - is the one thing Trump has done which most economists agree has actually hurt the economy (hurt in the sense it’s not as good as it could be).

Stormy Daniels might be a prostitute. Many porn stars offer their services as escorts. Which, hey. Fine. They should be allowed to. Legalize it.

Who would the button even reach? My understanding of emergency call buttons is they alert security or whomever is at the front desk. In a residential townhome, there’s likely to not be a front desk for it to reach.

Well, law enforcement wouldn’t have any involvement in the process. It’s a violation of a civil crime, not a criminal one. Their only recourse would be to file Unfair Labor Practice charges with the NLRB.

It wouldn’t be double jeopardy though. If prosecuted for both, that would fall under the dual sovereignty doctrine.

And since this is only a temporary three week solution, I could see Pelosi saying “no” until there’s long term funding. There’s nothing that requires the SotU be given in January, nothing that requires it to be given as an actual speech, and nothing that requires it to even be given every year.

Then it goes to a veto override vote. Imagine being all of those House and Senate Republicans voting unanimously by voice vote then having to explain why they didn't vote to overturn.

That is probably how it would be resolved - that Congress gets to declare whether the deadline truly applied (as it was not part of the ERA’s text) and whether the states could rescind their ratification votes. Coleman v. Miller, 307 U.S. 433 (1939) might be read that way.

The question, though, is whether Congress could even set a deadline. Other Amendments had deadlines to be ratified, such as the 22nd Amendment, but those deadlines were a part of the text of the Amendment itself. The ERA had no such deadline in the text of the Amendment.

The right to access any and all information held by the Executive branch would probably be read into the Constitution explicitly stating that the executive power is vested in that office.

Because they’re not requirements under the Constitution. That might sound tautological, but SCOTUS has consistently held that, outside of signature and filing fee requirements, the qualifications the Constitution requires for someone to be elected are the sole requirements and cannot be expanded. Presumably, in the…

“In 2017, Benton wanted lawmakers to adopt Confederate Memorial Day as an official holiday.”

Is he like Congressman Murray on Parks and Rec? Just sitting around, vacantly smiling at nothing?
