"Nicholas Bagley, a University of Michigan law professor, said unless “Congress has adopted a law prohibiting discrimination against the sick, or President Trump is exercising authority that Congress has delegated to him, his executive orders don’t have legal effect.”
“They have no more legal weight than a campaign slogan — and that’s all this executive order is,” he said." This makes us wonder if swallowpee even knows how to read? Or whether he understands the difference between a law and an executive order? The above questions are rhetorical.
Kavanaugh’s opinion on the Wisconsin case (decided by a 5-3 vote this evening) follows Bush vs Gore. It’s never pretty when a court has to get involved in the midst of an election, but reassuring that this court avoided the inclination to follow personal preferences and instead supported the Wisconsin state election laws as enacted by the Wisconsin state legislature. The US Constitution clearly gives that responsibility to state legislative branches, and the lower court judge’s attempt to unilaterally change those rules violated the US Constitution.
where there was a SCOTUS vacancy in an ELECTION YEAR. Every time, the sitting president nominated someone to fill the vacancy. If there was a Senate majority of the same party, the nominee was approved. If the Senate majority consisted of the opposition, the nominee was not approved. Its consistent precedent. Wasn't it Obama that famously said, "Elections have consequences?" Dems lost the presidency and the Senate. Get over it, sore losers, and accept he consequences. Man up, like Obama suggested.
