whatamaroon ... Senate rules are not laws, and statements by Senators are not rules ...
Once upon a time, the Left championed Executive Orders: “Stroke of the pen, law of the land. Pretty cool.”
Now they are saying, “Comment from a senator, law of the land. You guys are stuck with it.”
And if this is true, I suggest that some Senator make a comment that EPA and IRS be dismantled. I guess that would be the law, and it would just be so. We don’t need to vote on new laws, right? We just say stuff. Poof!
