Donald Trump’s unilateral effort to reshape election processes is an attempt to “short-circuit Congress’s deliberative process by executive order,” a federal judge in Washington, D.C. wrote Thursday afternoon.
In a 120-page opinion, U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly blocked the Trump administration from requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote and ordering that election officials “assess” the citizenship of anyone who receives public assistance before allowing them to register. She also barred the Election Assistance Commission from withholding federal funding from states that did not comply with the order.
“Our Constitution entrusts Congress and the States—not the President—with the authority to regulate federal elections,” she wrote. “No statutory delegation of authority to the Executive Branch permits the President to short-circuit Congress’s deliberative process by executive order.”
I heard she is a radical lib judge who is unfit for the bench. I saw a picture of her. Not even blond with big boobs. Like how are we supposed to take her seriously? Probably best to just ignore her order, I mean, what is she going to do about it anyway?
Everyday I tighten my maga hat so my brain feels bigger. It’s working. If you disagree, immigrants made you think that.
Rare W for states’ rights
Probably agreed to blood samples instead.
“No statutory delegation of authority to the Executive Branch permits the President to short-circuit Congress’s deliberative process by executive order.”
That could be said for most of what trump is doing. Judges and Congress, exercise your rights and powers or lose them.
So at what point does the pattern of eroding trust in public instructions, and indeed the eroding of the institutions themselves become clear and declared a national risk?
If history is anything to go by: Probably shortly after Canada is invaded and war is declared,
