Does anyone actually see much opposition to trump’s will from the spineless republicans? They fell in line completely. The outliers are insignificant. The party will fall in line with whatever that orange asshole wants.

I expect very mild resistance from Congress and SCOTUS. While all of them do have their lips glued to Trumps ass a spineless weasel is always a spineless weasel, if they thought distancing themselves from Trump was the most advantageous move they'd do it. They'll want to build in a tiny bit of plausibility if they want to start saying they did their jobs and didn't just defer to Daddy Trump.
McTurtle has publicly stated that he opposes and will fight against recess appointments. His brain is cooked and he's on his way out so he doesn't have to worry about getting primaried. I hope he's true to his word.
I would be astonished if he is good at his word, but I’m desperate so I’ll go ahead and cross my fingers.
Ha! This is pure propaganda bullshit, they will not stop him, nor do they care. The court already gave trump a license to do whatever he wants. They knew exactly what was coming and they paved the path, then rolled out a red carpet for him.
This is pure shit, so that they can pretend like there was opposition when he does whatever he wants.
Precedent? They don't give a shit about precedent, in 2014 Obama was president. They have no problem flip-flopping depending on whose actions are in question.
I think this will be an area to follow. I've been curious about the conflicts that will arise in Trump's administration. I have a feeling that the Gaetz nomination then withdrawal is a sign of things to come.
If they're too busy fighting each other, that would limit the amount of damage they could do I guess
"When elephants fight, it is the grass that suffers."
It's not a conservative Supreme Court, is a Fascist enabling Trump Supreme Court with no morals.
There will be no conflict here.
Expect a 5-4 majority where John “Susan Collins” Roberts votes against it so he can pretend he cared.
The only policies that SCOTUS will fight him on are when he damages capital interests of their collective sugar daddys', and that is the only scenario they will stand up to him.
but Trump might test limits by forcing a Senate recess using a rarely invoked constitutional provision
I highly doubt Trump can use Section III here. This whole story is predicated on a process that’s a massive maybe.
If Section III was a possibility then it’s likely that the Senate would just suspend confirmation hearings and just floor vote instead. No need for Section III to be invoked.
It just makes no sense to even pitch this idea.
Narrator: it didn't.
