The New York Times, whose editorial department (which is to say, the whole shebang) pretends to comment on our state of affairs while actually creating it, offered up this hairball in yesterday’s morning mailing:
“Our government is rapidly devolving to the equivalent of monarchical rule, and that’s how the Left appears to want it. The notion that limits on political power are written into the fabric of the nation is alien to them, and they’re doing everything they can to destroy those limits in practice.
Thus, the long campaign to delegitimize the Court in the court of public opinion. It’s a precursor to packing that court with rubber stampers and undoing the intolerable affront of Trump appointing three justices.”
I am curious as to "how" he would raise the debt ceiling - by Executive Order? If he did, then the Congress would request an emergency appeal to SCOTUS, who would likely grant it - this clearly usurping Article I. The Court would argue legitimately that the Treasury must continue to honor all debt service (ironically, in compliance with 14A). About half the government could operate on what's left over after debt service - so the other half would have to shut down. Thus there's no "debt crisis" looming, just another shut down standoff. Which I like. It's the ONLY power the Congress has at this point.
Anything the dems cannot control, they demonize. The dems are corrupt beyond any possibility of redemption. If dems are not attacking a government agency, you can be sure that agency is in the dems pocket.
Forget horseshoes and hand grenades, this isn't close - this is spot on!
Sic the sterling FBI on them.
