And then when your enemy is acting outside the limits the law, you have no basis to call them on it. Your guy did it too.

I do not support any elected government official taking actions that are outside of the limits of the Constitution which they have taken a vow to support and defend.

As far as Trump’s EOs, as long as they were drafted as instructions to the agents and agencies under the executive branch on how to enforce the laws legitimately passed by the legislature, then I have absolutely no problem with them. That is what EOs are intended to be used for.

Actually, the only way to get demondogs to obey the law is to break the law with impunity as they do.

Simply remind them, “You did this! So, shut up and eat it.”

At every turn rub their face in their own perfidy. Throw Saul Alinsky back at them until they repent and at least some of them go to prison.

I do not see how taking a vote when the opposing team has a member missing violates the constitution - x% of those present, seems to me to be the criteria.

Maybe unsportsman-like, but... mud.

You are both correct, in this case grobdriver more so.

Unfortunately, Omnibus bills are a cemented political fact and standing on principle, while always right, loses in the long run when not tempered with that reality.
