THE MORNING RANT: “Saving Democracy” By Prohibiting Legislative Involvement in Lawmaking
How is “democracy being saved” if the legislative body that is elected by the voters is excluded from governance? Without getting into a pedantic debate about the definition of democracy, the term is generally used (or misused, if you please) as a term for representative government in which citizens vote to elect their lawmakers. It’s interesting how those who are most vocal about “saving democracy” are also most focused on removing elected lawmakers from the lawmaking process. The problem of Congress outsourcing lawmaking to the bureaucracy is frequently discussed in conservative media, but how ridiculous is it that when the President chooses to unilaterally decree a new law, it takes a super-majority of Congress to “veto” the President’s new law? Our Constitution has been turned upside down and inside out. Last year the Biden administration unilaterally chose to redefine a 50-year-old law, the 1972 Clean Water Act. The purpose of Biden’s unilateral lawmaking was to expand the government’s authority and control over privately-owned land. The good news is that a majority of Congress objected. The bad news is that even a bipartisan majority vote in both houses of Congress is not enough to “veto” the President’s unilateral lawmaking. Senate Votes to Roll Back Biden Administration Clean Water Rule [CNBC – 3/20/2023]
The Senate has approved a resolution to overturn a Biden administration rule that would expand federal protections for the country’s waterways, a measure Republicans have criticized as overbearing and burdensome to business.
The Senate passed the measure on Wednesday under the Congressional Review Act, which allows Congress to overturn recent executive branch regulations with a simple majority vote. The Senate voted in favor 53 to 43 to give final approval to the measure.Five Democrat Senators (including Kyrsten Sinema who is technically an Independent but caucuses with Democrats) crossed-party lines to vote with Republicans. [By the way, remember how the media celebrates “bipartisanship” when Republicans cross party lines to vote with Democrats? It’s weird how Democrats never receive praise for crossing party lines to vote with Republicans.] In a perversion of Articles I and II of the Constitution, the Congressional Review Act allows the President to veto Congress’ repudiation of his unilateral lawmaking.
President Joe Biden has promised to veto the legislation blocking the “waters of the United States” rule…How is this even possible? The Congressional Review Act is a bit of failure theater which authorizes Congress to disapprove of executive branch rulings, but if the President vetoes Congress’ veto, a two-thirds super-majority of Congress is required to stop the President. Congressional Review Act | Overview and Tracking
Under the CRA, once the rule is submitted to Congress, any member can introduce a joint resolution disapproving of an agency’s final rule, at which point only a simple majority in both chambers is needed for the measure to head to the president’s desk. If the president vetoes a resolution, a two-thirds majority vote in both chambers would be necessary to override.In summary, the President unilaterally writes a new law. Congress rejects the law in both houses. The President vetoes Congress’ rejection…and a law is born! Just like our founding fathers intended. Our Constitution is just a meaningless piece of paper when the President is now making laws and it takes a super-majority of Congress to veto his lawmaking.
Much like in the US, Israel’s left-wing judiciary is assertive in using its authority to reject legislation passed by the Knesset, arrogating unto itself the authority to govern Israel as it sees fit.
But unlike in the US, the Israeli Supreme Court picks its own successors. It’s a self-perpetuating, unelected branch of government that can reject any legislation and impose the governance it wants, answering to no one. Candidates for the Israeli Supreme Court are not chosen by an elected official, nor are they confirmed by elected officials. Instead, nominees are chosen by the Judicial Selection Committee, which is composed of nine members, including representatives from the Israel Bar Association, existing Supreme Court Judges, Cabinet officials, and two Knesset members. But the existing Supreme Court has veto power over any new Judges. If only two Supreme Court judges veto a nominee, he is disqualified. Netanyahu wants the people, through its elected legislature, to be able to check the governing power of the Court, and he also wants to reform how judges are chosen. The ruling class consider Netanyahu’s actions to be “authoritarian” and that the battle to prevent the people of Israel from having a say in how they are governed is a battle to “save Democracy.” Brett Stephens of the New York Times speaks for his socio-political class in this Orwellian essay: In Israel, Democracy Still Holds [Brett Stephens – NY Times – 3/28/2023]On Monday, Netanyahu blinked, saying he would postpone the legislation to “take a timeout for dialogue.” In a better world — or a younger Israel — he would have resigned.Democracy is saved! The rightful rulers of Israel needn’t fear that legislators elected by the people of Israel will have any say in how Israel is governed. Brett Stephens and the New York Times speak for our entire ruling class when they pronounce that democracy can only be saved by not letting the rabble have any input in who their rulers are. In their world, the rulers and their power must be protected from the ruled, no matter how elections turn out. If you read that Brett Stephens piece and you need a palate cleanser, here is a good article from Erielle Davidson and Eugene Kontorovich discussing the Israeli court situation. Israel’s Protestors Are Enemies, Not Heroes of Democracy [NY Post – 3/28/2023]
For 25 years, Israel’s Supreme Court has operated entirely without democratic constraints.
Perhaps most confounding, judges exercise veto power over the selection of their successors, resulting in an ideologically homogenous judiciary. To top it off, what little power the court has not assumed for itself, it has delegated to the attorney general, who can veto any government action or policy by his or her own discretion.
As early as 2015, Netanyahu had proposed two of the more controversial reforms: the override clause, which would allow the Knesset (Israel’s legislature) to override a court ruling via a simple majority, and changing the composition of the Judicial Selection Committee to ensure the court doesn’t squash the Knesset’s voice.To the left-wing ruling class, “democracy” means never losing power, even when they lose elections.

I'd like someone to point out to me the legal method by which the federal government has the right to dictate how private property is used.
Notice that societal decline is exactly proportional to the level of federal government involvement with peoples' lives. Every additional federal regulation corresponds to a decline in both economic output and viability of our society.

By democracy the left just means "our control of society"
So, translating something like "we need to protect our sacred democracy from the white supremacist NAZIs trying to overturn it" becomes "we need to show Heritage Americans that even considering challenging our domination of them will lead to punishment"

The problem of Congress outsourcing lawmaking to the bureaucracy. posted by buck.throckmorton
We have a government by unelected executive branch bureaucrats who, when the politics of a leftist president and the bureaucracy are perfectly aligned, ends up giving us rules that carry the weight of legislation that can and do result in wholesale changes in how the nation runs such as cramming EVs down our throats, runs at banning gas stoves, seasonal 4' x 4' lakes in a privately held field that wipe out building homes, and in the future mandating you will cannot eat meat. My hot take is all agency rules must be submitted to Congress, debated upon, voted upon, and finally signed or vetoed by the president. And for extra credit rules have an expiration date - this alone would keep the congress critters busy doing something useful instead of spending more time TikTok or cable news (I am looking at you Sen. Miss Lindsey).

It was never intended for judges to solely decide the constitutionality of laws to begin with. Marshal claimed that power later.
And...it makes no sense.
Every branch should be able to explain the constitutionality of what it is doing, and the other two branches should oppose them if the answer is wrong or vague.
Of course we haven't actually been governed by the Constitution in a long time.

A "younger Israel" means those happy times when Israel was controlled politically by socialist European Jews, with Middle Eastern Jews relegated to dingy "development communities".
Obama has explained that Israel was a lot more admirable when it was poor and socialist.

Oh and the quickest way to end at least most judicial overreach would be for conservative jurists to go wild themselves.
For example, call the current implementation of the income tax unconstitutional on any grounds you want (and there are many). And do so in a case in late March.
Sorry feral government, no taxes for you this year!

But seriously, the Founders gave us a powerful check on the federal government: The states (despite all the fuckery of Lincoln against that)
Any state could tell the EPA "no, we nor our citizens will comply." And ... that's the end of that. Oh, sure, there will be federal lawsuits and acres of tearful print in the media. But. That's the end of it. The federal courts can't seize an inch of state land, a penny from their treasury or a single hair from a state official's head. That's the good news.
The bad news? The statehouses are infested with human cockroaches of the same species of limp-dicked, lisping queers that call themselves "conservative" in DC.

To the left-wing ruling class, “democracy” means never losing power, even when they lose elections.
I've noted this before, but in a lot of countries, you now have a County Party and a City Party.
For example, the United States, Canada, Israel, Hungary, Poland, Thailand, France, the United Kingdom, and on and on.
Take, for example, Hungary, where Orban lost Budapest by a big margin, but won almost everywhere else in the country by a big margin.
The City Party thinks that they are the only legitimate ruling Party, and given that judges naturally gravitate to the City Party, they think that the judiciary should be able to veto the decisions of the democratic legislature when the Country Party is in power.

I think a National General Strike is our only non-violent possibility of pausing, if not reversing, the madness -- but beyond that, it's gonna have to be brutal, bloody, & deadly on a massive scale.

No, we are a republic. All other forms are offensive slavery of the few to the vile appetite of the many.

The remedy for not needing the CRA (or a vote under the CRA to overcome a veto) is to have Congress not grant the executive the rulemaking authority to begin with.
The administrative state exists because Congress abdicated its responsibility to legislate. SCOTUS has rejected the notion of a "legislative veto" so once Congress grants the executive the authority to make rules implementing the statute, it needs to essentially pass a new "law" to overturn the rulemaking (which is why the CRA resolution is subject to veto).

After the bombing at Bagram, a US drone zapped a family of 10. 8 of them were kids. A 4 star general told us that they had zapped a terrorist. Later, he came out and said it was a family and a mistake, and that he "took responsibility." Which of course meant that he took no responsibility. There was no accountability. He wasn't fired. He didn't have his pay docked. He wasn't reprimanded, there wasn't even a "letter to file."
At this point, I assume that the military is telling whatever story they want about drone shoots, and doesn't actually care whether the targets are legitimate or not.

Upside to the hog shit is we've been confronted with issues every bit as serious as the present and have prevailed, with an unbroken record of success.
Given that record, I'll take the odds on us surviving the latest mess. It is, after all, a major part of our heritage to continue the battle to ensure our Republic endures.

apparently war plans for Ukraine have leaked to the internet per the NYT
"A leaked trove of classified documents outlining American and NATO war planning in Ukraine has sparked a US military investigation, the New York Times has reported. The briefing presentation slides, some marked “top secret,” show assessed troop strengths, timelines for arms shipments and ammunition expenditures, among other data.

Pearl pointed out they were all basically chasing the same guys so supply and demand 101, and then the women realized at one point several of them were literally chasing the same guy.
A lot of the feminine rage and angst on college and university campuses comes from the fact that the average college or university has gone from being 60% male to 60% female. Males are a scarce commodity on campus these days.

This guy should be the picture of health, quit smoking, late 40s, exercises a lot at work, and if he doesn't golf 18 holes (walking) twice a week he goes out for a little road work. He gave me his daughter's phone number, just saying just in case, and has a doctor's appt next week. The shop he works in had mandatory fun on the clot shot and at least two boosters.

'To the left-wing ruling class, “democracy” means never losing power, even when they lose elections."
Well, no shit.
The tell here is how the dems insist on being called the "democratic" party, not the "democrat" party. They're using it as an adjective, not a name; to be democratic is to align with their positions - nothing more, nothing less. And we all know "democracy" is doubleplus-good, it says so right on the box.
It's the same old Leninist "we are good therefore what is right is whatever it is that we want right now" tripe.

There are countless variations on this. I don't think it was always true, though. I think modern social media and easy access to communication with literally hundreds of people at a time had something to do with it.
But the worst offender is insane feminism for the last 4 decades. Girls today grow up in a world where they are taught they are super-special just for being girls. They are awesome and great and highly desirable men should literally be fighting over them.
They believe all this because they want to. Sadly, it's not true except for only a very small percentage of girls. When the other girls finally realize this, it's too late, they probably blew it with several good, decent guys who didn't measure up to their unrealistic delusions, and they hate men and the world.

They are awesome and great and highly desirable men should literally be fighting over them.
Back in the Before Times, a girl had at most a couple of hundred possible male candidates - church, school, work, what have you. It didn't take long to figure out where you were in the dating hierarchy, and figure out what males were actually achievable.
Now, there are thousands of attractive men on dating apps, and you can convince yourself that you deserve one of them, so why waste yourself on one of the losers that you actually come into contact with?

>>Post Law. Post Covid. Post Malone. Will it never end?!
Post Malone will out live them all, in fact, it is a better than even bet that Malone will emerge as Lord Humongous Ruler of The Wastes during The Time of Burning.

So AstraZeneca vaxx (spike protein antigen in an adenovirus delivery system) being pulled due to being implicated in cases of myocarditis is interesting. The common feature between A-Z/J&J and the Pfizer/Moderna (mRNA coding for spike protein in a lipid nanoparticle delivery system) is the spike protein. To me it makes sense that the immune system response to the spike protein could be the final common causative pathway for an inflammatory condition such as myocarditis. I do not know if there are genetic predispositions to this response, but it would not surprise me.

Zelensky signed a decree on the establishment of military administrations in 19 settlements of the Zaporozhye region,located in the territories controlled by Russia
In social networks, this is already interpreted as a sign of the upcoming counteroffensive of the AFU

mRNA technology while not direct gene hacking is implicated in gene expression, which tended to cause uncontrollable genetic race conditions during medical trial.
Ie, administer a cancer mRNA based therapeutic/treatment, patients existing cancer and genetic predisposition for cancer gets amplified.
Oops!!!
Which is why mRNA was largely put on the shelf until it was dusted off to deal with a very unfortunate event that emerged in late 2019.

I think one of the main issues of mRNA technology for either vaccines or cancer therapy is the question of antigen dosage. If you give a killed virus vaccine, or a measured amount of protein antigen to provoke an immune response you know how much you are giving and there is a range of responses. When you give a known amount of mRNA you are introducing another variable, i.e. how much of the end product is produced by the patient before the time-limited degradation of the mRNA.This could be orders of magnitude greater in some predisposed individuals.

Gee Bucky Boy, this is the SHIT that happens when the American People give so little as two fucks about their precious Constitutional Republic that they allow a political party’s machine headed by a brain-dead (clinically diagnosed with end-stage dementia) corrupt pervert to steal the Presidential election (and the fucking US Supreme Court justices are too busy anal fisting each other to give a damn) and occupy the White House.
Place responsibility where it belongs Bucky.
You allegedly reside in Wisconsin, what the fuck are you doing to ensure the validity of that State’s elections? Nothing? You’ve given up after the Democrats have won control of Wisconsin’s Supreme Court? lol. Eff off.
