Like who? Progressive Sherrod Brown? You do understand that Congress has to pass the law, it's not something the President can do right?
1st step is having a president that actually wants to do it.
Wont happen now as there is a democrat president that doesn't support it and GOP has the House but hopefully this becomes a priority for the party.I wont be voting for any Dem that doesn't support it.
Like I said, the Teddy precedent means the 3 day rule wouldn't apply, which is what congress was doing it for. Precedent would likely bite us w/Trump as did the filibuster change for court appointments. I seem to recall an opening longer than 3 days when there was a chance at a recess appointment back then too but can't remember the timing.
That's not the first step, the first step is having majorities in Congress to do it. That's the first step to a lot of things which conmen like Cornel West are promising knowing that they will never be in a position of power.
And did this thing pass, why don't you mention that.
Where is prog Sherrod Brown on the issue? And Mark Kelly?
How would that work after the Noel Canning decision by the SC?
In short, the holding in Noel Canning seems clear: a Senate majority can prevent a president from making recess appointment by scheduling pro-forma sessions, which effectively shorten the length of recesses to less than ten days. Where a recess must last at least ten days for a president to make a recess appointment under Noel Canning, pro-forma sessions should prevent recess appointments from being made without the Senate’s consent.
Yes, I brought up Breyer during the Canning decision, and I said this wouldn't go unchallenged to a split SCOTUS....hence mention of flipflop/carve out.
We're arm chair quarterbacking a hypothetical brought up as a dig to a snark comment on a position I don't even hold (vote green or some shit). At some point this is a waste of time no?
Whats the point of having majorities in Congress to do it if the President wont sign it into law?
West wont win,we all know that.West is our way telling The Dem party they wont be getting our votes unless they move to left and support issues like expanding the court.
A lot of things have changed since many Dems went on record opposing expanding the court such as Roe being overturned.Please do update us on what Dems still oppose expanding the court since The Roe decision as they wont be getting my vote or donation or the votes from many other progs.
Some Dems will change their opinion due to recent SC decisions,not Biden though.
