Morons like Vance should be asked how Diamond Joe should use this power over SCOTUS rulings in his work as the 46th President. American TV viewers need to see more heads exploding on live broadcasts...

This is the real Republican/MAGA party you see on full display right here, Boys and girls.

Take a long hard look at it.

This Traitor Bait emeffer speaks for the entire Criminal enterprise that is the "Conservative Base".

I would have loved to see George Steph ask 1 more question before he threw the ---------- off his show; and that would be this:

"Sen Vance, would you confirm and publically acknowledge, that you believe that the Power of the POTUS you just attributed to a Future President Trump, is a power currently available to President Joe Biden to wield as he pleases, as well?"

JD Vance only cares about power. He is Harvard educated and hates trump, yet defenda him at every possible opportunity.

Biden has already shown the path of defying SCOTUS with his continuation of student loans.

And the left cheered. Which is what makes this little outrage so pathetic.

Bellringer, go watch the entire interview or read a transcript.

Defend the merits of what JD Vance is saying if you can. Or deflect about Biden. Whatever.

#5,
Stinkerbell will ignore the interview content, and instead, play "Lets make a childish false equivalance".

Vance's arguement says Biden has that power, Stinkerbell. So how could that be a problem?

Swallow it.

Gracie-

It is a thing. I'm sorry you didn't know it existed and I did and that made you look stupid. (after you told me to copy and paste it like it didn't exist)

Clearly you've been thinking about this nonstop for days. Get a life.

Vance is correct. We have a system of checks and balances in this country between the judicial, legislative, and executive branches. For example, if the President does something that's intolerable, he can be impeached and removed from office by the other two branches.

Of course, we've seen with Hair Furor that the GOP has entirely abdicated that role. But apparently that's what the people want since we keep handing them the reins of power.

JD Vance's little dance around trumps sexual assault was actually more egregious than his SCOTUS comments.

The entire interview is absurd. They were right to cut his mic at the end.

The SC conducted a power grab with the student loan decision. They had no authority to take the case, yet they did. The "parties" of the lawsuit did not have standing. In fact, they parties themselves said they had no standing. Yet the SC decided, unilaterally that they did have standing and adjudicated this case on a made up "major questions" doctrine.

So, you obviously support out of control SC legislating from the bench.

freshman senator said a president would have the authority to defy the Supreme Court, cutting his mic off to end the interview.

Mark down Vance as a yes on the list of senators that would allow The Sick F**k (TSF) to be a dictator.

TSF is absolutely watching these displays of prostration on tv and is counting on them to vote to acquit him if impeached over defying congress. No doubt McConnell is already preparing his twisted logic into a position amenable to TSF and Putin over this.

This is the intersection of fealty to a dictator and our republic.

So SCOTUS did the right thing by handing abortion back to the states? And the environment back to Congress? Because both were legislation from the bench.

I get it, you want to pick and choose what you decide to accept based on your emotions.

My question to you is; do you support SC legislating law from the bench? Because that's exactly what you're accusing someone else of. You can't have it both ways.

#18 | Posted by lfthndthrds at 2024-02-05 12:59 PM | Reply

In the student loan case the SC abrogated the power of the purse from congress by overturning clear legislative language delegating the loan program to the executive branch. They did so by adjudicating a case that they had no authority to adjudicate, because there was no proper party to the lawsuit. That is legislating from the bench.

In Dobbs, the SC made up historical justification to overturn an established right.

And since Congress has no authority over abortion, that doesn't qualify as legislating.

If you were intelligent and informed you would understand that.

Correction/Clarification-Congress only has authority over abortion if abortion is a right. If abortion is not a right, then congress has no power over it.

Showing your true colors eh DingDong? Biden obeyed the supreme's and abided by their decision and canceled his original attempt.

So Biden has not broken any laws. If he has please provide a link here to the actual laws being broken so we can start impeachment proceedings. Republicans are eager to get started!

The most recent student loan forgiveness appears to be on sound legal footing and is based on borrowers in income-driven repayment plans for lower earners.

It was more like un-legislating. As in overturning an established precedent.

BellRinger hates when our tax dollars are used to fund education.

He knows educated people vote for the Democratic Party and can't abide it.

He prefers to shackle Americans seeking higher education with debt, to punish them.

He prefers our tax dollars be given to wealthy people as subsidies and dumped into the MIC.

The Republican party is fully prepared to give Donald Trump lifelong dictatorial powers.
They hate the Constitution and have a deep desire to throw it out.

You can't game the tests or teach a kid how to do well. There are no shortcuts. What they can do is take numerous practice tests to get faster at recognizing and solving the types of problems presented, because it is a timed test. The College Board offers free resources online, libraries have the books and schools and government agencies offer free books classes targeted at helping underrepresented kids improve their score. I have assisted with these classes as a volunteer. Many of the kids who showed up and did the work improved their scores on the practice tests by hundreds of points. Some really tried but just didn't have the natural ability to reason and problem solve.

The material on the ACT/SAT is about 8th grade level, based on my recollection. The tests are more about vocabulary, reading comprehension, and problem solving. Kids that have developed these skills will do better on the test. Will these kids do better in college? I am sure there are statistics that affirm or deny that correlation.

What a couple of dummies.

In Biden v Nebraska, SCOTUS said the Biden Administration's usage of the HEROES Act was not justification to forgive student loan debt broadly and across the board . So the Biden Administration... STOPPED utilizing the HEROES Act and similar attempts to broadly forgive all student loans. Nowhere does the SC decision disallow the Biden Administration to forgive student loan debt through targeted programs, some that have been on the books for decades (but not enforced or made impossible to enforce), or through Programs that have been specifically passed into law by Congress.

So no, the Biden Administration did not "ignore" the SC by forgiving student loan debts using Programs that allow for such.

The amount of water y'all carry for these MAGA Morons is staggering.

The ----------- in the GQP having a fit over $10K of student loan forgiveness after scamming hundreds of thousands of dollars of PPP forgiveness is PEAK hypocrisy.
