Kaine, joined by other Democrats and Paul, has forced the votes under a decades-old law that allows Congress to block a president’s emergency powers. However, House Republicans have passed new rules that allow leaders to prevent such resolutions from getting a vote in that chamber, and Trump could veto the legislation even if it did clear Congress.
So basically, nothing is going to change.
You can’t put the fart back into the bottle after popping the cork and inhaling deeply.
Comment goes with the username I see.
There is no other authority I would trust on the matter.
I’m not going to promise change or anything, but
US is currently in shutdown. On Nov 1st, there will be tangible reactions to specific health insurance premium increases that should have many people with up $1000/month, and some $2000/month quotes. There is a possibility of a reopening deal that would include the tariff overturn vote. Trump may come up with a brand new national emergency declaration to reimpose tariffs.
Supreme court is also reviewing these tariffs soon, and Constitutional Congressional oversight power, backed up by this vote against them, could influence their decision.
But Bourbon Mitch and the others can say “see we tried” (knowing full well that this doesn’t matter)!
Exactly. Without a veto-proof vote on this, they can play both sides on this one. That said, these four repbulicans are also saying that they care a little more about midterms than toeing the line on this issue.
Oh so they can change the rules any time they want? (They’ve always been able to do this).
Ask yourself, why don’t they change the rules to allow them to bypass Dems and open the government?
Something something they want it closed.
I was wondering if the 10% additional tariff due to the political ad would have any affect, since it doesn’t even pass the “emergency drug crisis” test.
The emergency drugs crisis was all made up bullshit anyways, the US is Canada’s problem, drug wise, not the other way around
Oh look more proof the US is fucked.
Good thing the house is in session and generally functional. >.>
Rand Paul, Collins, McConnell, and Murkowski
So those four republicans will need to be watching their back.
Well shit.
I don’t want negotiation with the US to go our way, I want it to go away. Permanently.
