Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Y'all still haven't learned that the US president isn't god king, hu? He can't just do shit by fiat.
You still haven't learned that US legal precedent is God king. New rules dropped, presidential acts are all the rage. Biden just has to say those two words and he can regulate how long your ball hair is allowed to be.
All that needs to happen is for SCOTUS to agree.
Should be easy 👍
Doesn't fuckin matter. Let SCOTUS mull it over for years. Drag it out through court for 4 years to see if he was allowed to do what he did do. Someone tries to reverse what he did? Fire them, let SCOTUS figure out for 4 years if he was allowed to do that too. Convince 20 lawyers to fight it until they are literally disbarred. I'm sick of democrats fussing over decorum and tradition and just giving this country away because they're afraid of some vague rules. Make shit up. Not allowed to fire that person? Spin up some special cabinet packed with cronies and make that person report to them now. Literally anything. But biden won't do shit. He's taking a fucking nap, leave him alone.
Considering they already did, I'd say so.
You miss the part where the court gets to decide what is or isn't an "official act"?
Sure, if the court case goes before them, on average of 4 years after the actual crime. But seeing as the Jan 6th case was thrown out, it won't matter what that determination would be if ignoring the Constitution and attempting to overthrow the government isn't past the line.
No the Democrats haven't learned that, and are still taking the high ground.
