“John Bates has made his decision, now let him enforce it.”
Ignoring the absurdity of the overreach of yet another single district judge making a decision for the entire country, the administration needed no other reason than that DACA itself was an unconstitutional and illegal executive order. And as Mike points out, the three branches are not in fact co-equal. Ultimately, it is up to Congress.
In which another male #MeTooer gets to live in a world he helped to create.
Where in the hell is Jeff Sessions? Is he going to make this some sort of October Surprise?
I’m sure there are some good people working at the FBI, and I’m also sure that many of them would love to testify before Congress. What is the hold up?
[Monday-morning update]
Three questions Jim Acosta won’t dare ask Robert Mueller.
He’s a putz.
The latest on the differences between House and Senate bills. I agree with moving OCST out of the FAA, but I’d prefer to see Commerce get the responsibility for regulation of orbital activity.
Six times the Obama administration should have done it.
But then they wouldn’t have been “scandal free.”
I’m on the schedule to speak about space property rights on in a plenary session on Sunday morning.
He’s free, for now, but it’s sad to see the degree to which even some conservatives in England have fallen.
Yes, pull their clearances; they’re dangerous, partisan hacks.
I will note, though, that there’s been a lot of confusion on this issue. One does not need to work for the federal government to have a clearance, and one doesn’t intrinsically give it up when one leaves government service. When someone leaves the employ of a contractor to go work for a different one, their clearance goes with them, and often when someone leaves government service, they retain their clearance so they can work on classified projects in the private sector, or as a consultant. But those two clowns have abused their privileges, both in office and out. I think they should not only lose their clearances, but be in jail.
The administration is backing off on CAFE rules.
Good. They should never have existed in the first place. The federal government has no business telling auto makers what kind of mileage cars should get (or how many gallons a toilet should use to flush).
