Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

I saw this floating around a bunch, and it left me with the question: How often is congress rolling through and codifying things that the Supreme Court decided? Is this a common thing? I feel like we would've heard about it.

"Gun control" has to ring a bell, no?

Anyway, the Dems have had numerous opportunities to Codify RvW and they did not. Shit, they could have done it when they rammed the unaffordable care act through. But they didn't. They could do it NOW, as they have control of the government, but they won't.

Do you know why?

I do.

often, but not very often

and why would the house spend the time to pass something they know full well has zero chance in the Senate?

for the illusion or delusion that they are working for their constituents ??

messaging???

so they can point their fingers at the Senate and say how terrible they are - throwing mud?

Of course, political optics and pandering for votes.  It is pretty "funny" how many bills passed the House in this session and stood zero chance in the Senate.

A few stood a small chance, some of course got upended by Manchin.

There was a pseudo-gun control bill that did get passed because both Houses worked together on it, which resulted of course in more of a rather pointless piece of legislation, in my view.  They usually manage a budget bill often delayed with CRs.

I thought the Dems would at least undo some parts of the "Trump tax cuts", but they haven't even managed that.

In my OPINION, this thread is interesting when folks share information/facts that others may have missed.  When it comes down to opinions alone on hot button issues, we each have our own, and won't change them because someone else voices a differing opinion, any more than we'd switch teams to support because someone else likes the Jayhawks.

But we can learn things about issues if folks focus more on facts and less on opinions.  At least, that is my opinion.

While I appreciate that you have an opinion on not posting opinions on this thread its my opinion that I'll post my opinion on something anytime I desire

If you dont agree with my opinion then please feel free to tell me why your opinion is different

course thats just my opinion

Senate rules can be changed. Ask Harry Reid how he got the UACA passed.

(Is this conflating the filibuster thing with cabinet nominations in 2013 and the ACA thing in late 2009? The ACA got the 60 votes)

Can you explain a little more?  Are they going to charge him with something akin to being impeached?  Like congress has these special powers like censure and other things that are relatively unknown and seldom used (maybe never?).  

Or are you referring to actual federal charges, prosecuted by a court?
