Senate shenanigans are always fun to read about.

Also, we learned that they’re “separate but equal” branches of government in school. Let’s see if the legislative branch can claw back some level of influence.

…we learned that they’re “separate but equal” branches of government in school.

Samsies. But then again, I don’t think normal people (our founders included) ever expected a willful collusion by a party to stack those branches of government in their favor.

“Separate but equal” was Plessy v. Ferguson which upheld segregation laws in Jim Crow states.

Thank you for pointing that out. It is an important distinction that carries a lot of weight for a lot of people.

SteveFromMySpace ,

No worries! I figured yall would want to know lol

The founders didn’t intend for the SCOTUS to be an equal branch of government. They just kinda started doing constitutional review, and multiple founders were explicit about how that’s not what they intended.

SteveFromMySpace ,

Uhhh couple of y’all are using the phrase “separate but equal” way out of context.

That was the key phrase for Plessy v. Ferguson aka the basis for the formal establishment of segregation in the US.

“Separation of powers” and “checks and balances” are the guiding principles for our 3 branches.

cybervseas ,

Oy, of course you’re right 😅

“Coequal” I think was the term I remember learning.

SteveFromMySpace ,

All good lol I’ve said way dumber shit

In Trump v. United States (2024) ...

That is the most accurate possible name for the supreme court's recent decision.

It’s a pretty accurate description of the last 8 years TBH.

Get it to the floor and make them all vote on the record. That vote will haunt them in the post-Trump era. May even help shoot down some rising stars down the line.

Icalasari ,

From what I've seen others state, the plan is for the Republicans to lose, then enough politicians call foul play that it goes to the Supreme Court, then the Supreme Court lets the politicians pick and they override the will of the people. So it wouldn't haunt them in that case

Earlier this week, President Joe Biden proposed a constitutional amendment to overturn Trump

Lol

P00ptart ,

That’d require a forklift.

callouscomic ,

So now introducing bills and doing their fucking jobs is “ambitious?” These sucker’s make like $200k just in base salary and are the most unproductive decade of Congress I think ever.

skuzz ,

It’s good to be king. Get paid to do nothing.

fubarx ,

The Constitutional Amendment is more bulletproof, but a much heavier lift.

This one will end up at SCOTUS, with an expected outcome. Slow moving trains and all.

The Court wouldn’t have jurisdiction. They could overstep their authority anyway but it’d probably become a constitutional crisis.
