    They sure aren’t. IMO, If Biden doesn’t attempt to exercise his new presidential powers, the Dems will be partially responsible for the fascism that follows.

      Seems you forget that an extreme court gets to decide things now. He doesn’t have the powers unless the court says he does.

        So why weren’t the courts getting stacked years ago?

        Stop pretending like his hands are tied. The SCOTUS ruling yesterday shows that is bullshit.

        Better to act first than wonder if you have permission. Take the action necessary, let the courts hash it out months later after the election is over. As long as it’s an official action, there should be no problem.
