On Monday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “The Last Word,” Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) stated that if 2024 Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump wins in 2024, he’ll nominate more judges who believe that unelected federal agency officials shouldn’t make crucial policy decisions and that this should be left to Congress.
While discussing judicial nominees and courts, Klobuchar said, “It matters, you…are going to discuss later in your program whether or not a president is above the law, whether or not he can claim immunity for any act, because that’s what Donald Trump is claiming. We know, with the Mifepristone decision, that was a Trump judge. These decisions about voting rights and the decisions about changing the John Lewis bill and making all of these decisions, that’s about judges, who have been put on by Donald Trump, yes, but also, it’s about judges you can put on that follow the law and are highly qualified. And even the Chevron decision…which is about allowing agencies to make decisions about say, what is the percentage of particles in air pollution? Some of these judges that Donald Trump put on or are judges out of his ilk, they actually have said, oh, agencies shouldn’t do that, we should have Congress and the judges make those decisions. You can see where this is rolling if he is allowed to come back and put these judges on.”

Holy crap, she said something that was pro-America.
The problem is a simple one.
To ensure “democracy” we need unelected civil service bureaucrats make “rules” for us to follow.
If you leave it up to elected officials then it’s a threat to “democracy”.
Works for me...
This can’t be real ... is this a late April’s Fool joke?
Congress and the Executive branches are responsible for laws and policy, not judges!
What a complete idiot!
"Klobuchar: Trump Will Pick Judges Who Think Congress Should Make Policy Instead of Unelected Agency Officials"
Trump probably needs to get up to speed with the following unconstitutionally big federal government problem.
What Trump's post-FDR era, institutionally indoctrinated “constitutional” advisors probably aren't telling him, because they likely don't know themselves, is that the unpopular dictates that non-popularly elected federal agency officials are oppressing the people with are based on stolen state powers, really the abuse of those powers, and state revenues uniquely associated with those powers, such revenues based on abuse of 16th Amendment (direct taxes), that hopeful Trump 47 needs to lead the states to peacefully take back from the feds.
"16th Amendment : The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived [emphasis added], without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration."
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
“If the tax be not proposed for the common defence, or general welfare, but for other objects, wholly extraneous, (as for instance, for propagating Mahometanism among the Turks, or giving aids and subsidies to a foreign nation, to build palaces for its kings, or erect monuments to its heroes,) it would be wholly indefensible upon constitutional principles [emphases added].” — Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2 (1833).
From the congressional record:
”Simply this, that the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Constitution, is in the States and not in the federal government [emphases added]. I have sought to effect no change in that respect in the Constitution of the country.” —John Bingham, Congressional. Globe. 1866, page 1292 (see top half of third column)
“Cherish, therefore, the spirit of our people, and keep alive their attention. If once they become inattentive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, judges and governors, shall all become wolves [emphasis added]. It seems to be the law of our general nature.” - Thomas Jefferson (Letter to Edward Carrington January 16, 1787)
Pelosi: "We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it." (non-FR; 6 sec.)
Democrats [and RINOs] Are Terrified Of An Educated And Informed Public (3.12.23)
After those powers are surrendered back to the states and the 16th and 17th (popular vote for federal senators) Amendments are repealed, the main peacetime federal actions that Congress would be concerned with are militia readiness and delivering the mail.
"Article I, Section 8, Clause 7: To establish Post Offices and post Roads;"
"From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.
The Constitution can always be amended to restore the previous, unconstitutionally big federal government if formerly oppressed taxpayers miss it that much.
In the meanwhile, Democratic and Republican Trump-supporting patriots need to support Trump with a new patriot Congress in November so that he will not be lame-duck president from the first day of his 2nd term in office.
Majority in new poll say Biden, most members of Congress don’t deserve new term: Gallup (2.2.24)
Voters Doubt Biden’s Leadership and Favor Trump, Times/Siena Poll Finds (3.2.24)
70% of New York voters say Biden not fit to serve another term: poll (2.20.24)
In her defense, congress has enough to do, with insider trading, sex films in committee rooms, diddling pages, hating Israel, taxing every conceivable thing on earth, pimping child murder...
Yes, Congress and the President should make policy, not unelected bureaucrats.
As for term limits, I want to see term limits of no more than seven years on 100% all top echelon federal bureaucrats.
You’ve got that exactly right.
🙃😡
