Not progressive, and I roll my eyes at many things California does. That said I 100% applaud this. I wish more states used their power as individual states to reign in the Federal government.
Remember The Constitution says any rights not specifically granted to the Feds are the States.
Good for California.
Very kind of you. Thank you.
In December I got COVID for the 4th time. Yes I’m vaxxed. No I’m not boosted.
Prior to this bout I was working out 30 minutes a day. Since this bout I can barely climb a flight if stairs without getting winded.
It really sucks.
You might want to actually go read Article 25 if you believe there would be a Republican controlled shit-show.
Republicans have no say under section 1. President Biden says “I’m out” and Vice President Harris becomes President. Congress has no say, the Senate had no say, nobody has any say but the President and the Vice President.
The President could give a reason, or he could choose not to do so.
The only time Congress is involved is under Section 4.
Section 1 covers everything from “Take this job and shove it” to “I’m tired and want to spend more time with my family”
I repeat Congress has no say. There is no political debate. There is simply “I’m out, you’re in.”
Absolutely correct.
Literally you’re are correct, figuratively, I think I’m in pretty solid ground.
I think she gets a huge bounce if she’s the President thrust into a role she did not ask for or seek. It’s a pretty typical human reaction to cheer for people forced by circumstance into an unexpected role. I think she also gets four months to show that she’s Presidential material.
So that’s the pragmatic part. I also believe that President Biden has shown he’s incapable of governing, and that we have rules regarding that situation. In fact that’s why we have the position of VP.
I don’t think she stands a chance running as a VP. However, if President Biden were to invoke Article 25, and abdicate in favor of his VP. I honestly think she’d be a lock to win.
This is fucking amazing engineering! Smart people doing amazing things is so inspiring. Good for Bezos taking some of that wealth and investing it in such a fascinating project.
Truly a tragedy when people cannot live their lives because of fear.
The most Presidential of all our former Presidents. I will shed tears at his passing.
I hope you read Radley Balko. He has done so much to expose the fraud of things like bite marks and other shit done by MEs.
I won’t be retiring. Not particularly good with money, plus a divorce, I’m 60, and have about 200K in retirement. It’s my own fault, I could have been far smarter. Now was always far more important than then.
Balko is the first of two writers who shaped my journey from conservative to anarchist. His writing in this series is clear, concise and damning.
That said I’m also something if a Hughes fan. I typically find him thoughtful and insightful, but his buy-in to the Fall of Minneapolis documentary was disappointing.
Absolutely works for me that’s a very anarchistic take.
State-sanctioned murder is never ok.
Fucking hero. Law enforcement in Uvalde should take notes.
