Trump.doesn't even know who shits in his pants.

They keep getting worse, too. I loved my Galaxy Relay. I bought a Moto Z because someone was making a keyboard backplate for it... And they killed off the project a few months later.

The only thing worse than the on screen keyboard is Blackberry's physical keyboard. Give me some kind of slider.

Blocked that comm, just so I wouldn't accidentally violate that rule. No sense in getting emotionally invested in a post I'm not allowed to discuss.

I somehow doubt his presidency is going to last another three and a half years. I'd be surprised if he made it to the midterms.

The Nuclear Option has never been used to rewrite its rules but to change how the rules have been interpreted

A distinction without a relevant difference: The court would be required to follow the later interpretation, not the earlier one.

Yeah, the health and safety standards are for a commercial kitchen, and are wildly conservative. I'd follow those standards if I was serving food for someone else. But, I'd also take the "expired" leftovers home and eat for a few more days.

Oh, Roko doesn't give a fuck. The Basilisk, on the other hand, is very concerned.

Don't you worry about the GOP. The only two options you (and they) need to consider are "Universal Healthcare" and "guillotine". Cake, or death.

but it can also decide that a simple majority didn't have the power to enact multibillion dollar legislation by the strict wording of its own rules.

You are not understanding what the Senate is doing here. The "Nuclear Option" is the Senate rewriting its rules. They absolutely have that power. It's specifically enumerated in the Constitution.

The court does not have the constitutional authority to demand the Senate follow a previous version of its rules. The court must accept the new rules the Senate writes for itself, because the Constitution gives them the power to establish such rules.

Roko's Basilisk wants universal healthcare. I'm not lsitening to your doom and gloom bullshit.

This choice is no more difficult than Eddie Izzard's "Cake Or Death". Make it.

Universal healthcare, or guillotine.

You're not getting it. I didn't say we should ignore the courts.

When you try to sue, the courts will take one look at Article I and rule that the Senate is responsible for its own rules.

The cases you are talking about did not arise from senate rulemaking procedures. They do not set the precedent you suggest.

Make your choice.
