Oh. You’re right. Dana did Bush the first. Wouldn’t be prudent.

But that’s the point. Congress CANNOT cede authority without amending the constitution. Any ‘law’ they make doing so is invalid because it violates the constitution. A LAW CANNOT OVERRIDE THE CONSTITUTION.

I think it’s kind of Legal?

Here’s the thing. The constitution says CONGRESS levies taxes, not the president. Any law CONGRESS passes must be IN PURSUANCE OF THE CONSTITUTION. Making a law that abrogates any part the constitution is not IN PURSUANCE OF THE CONSTITUTION. The only way to do that is TO AMEND the constitution.

So, no. It’s not kind of legal.

and any judge worth the air it would take make such a statement should FUCKING KNOW THAT!

There used to be a satirical musical group called the Capitol Steps that sang a song called “Bomb, Bomb, Bomb, Iran” sung to the tune of the Beach Boys Barbara Ann. This was at 20 years ago. Unfortunately, Covid killed the group (as in made it no longer viable because people quit coming to see them, not actually killing them).

I wish they’d try to make a comeback.

It will probably trip and fall then jump saying it’s OK. Gerald Ford actually like Dana Carvey’s portrayal of him.
