HOUSE DEMOCRATS TO BIDEN: “NO MORE DEBATE PLEASE”

posted in: Politics | 0

By: Nathaniel  Ballantyne

Washington, DC –  House Democrats are openly urging the president to avoid a second televised debate. Biden and Trump have another debate scheduled for September hosted by ABC News.

“If it’s the same debate questions, and it’s the same process, I probably wouldn’t do it. I’m not his advisor, but I probably wouldn’t advise him to do it,” said Rep. Joyce Beatty (D-Ohio).

Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove (D-Calif.) went further: “We didn’t even need this debate. Quite frankly, we know exactly who Trump is. And we know exactly who Joe Biden is. You have a debate so that you can learn about a candidate. There’s nothing else to know.”

Rep. Troy Carter (D-La.) said that “if there’s going to be a second debate, the terms and the rules of engagement have to be changed.” Biden’s team has indicated that it has no plans to change this fall’s scheduled debate with Trump.

While House Democrats are advising Biden to stay away from additional debates,former President Barack Obama offered public support for Biden after the rough debate performance.

“Bad debate nights happen. Trust me, I know,” Obama said in a post on X, a reference to his own first debate with 2012 GOP nominee Mitt Romney, which was widely viewed as a victory for the Republican.

“Bad debate nights happen. Trust me, I know,” Obama said.

The former president pointed to bigger contrasts between Biden and Trump, echoing a strategy other Democrats have made since Thursday’s debate.

What the former president ignored is that Biden bad performance is due to mental issue not lack of preparation. To compare his debate failure with Mitt Romney with Biden performance is simply intellectual dishonesty. Biden seems to have dementia, and the people needs to know about his mental condition. Simply call it a bad debate night is not enough when Biden spent the last three years displaying signs of mental decline.

House Speaker Mike Johnson went further by saying that Biden’s Cabinet should discuss invoking the 25th Amendment in the wake of Thursday’s debate.  Johnson, asked about calls from within his own conference for the amendment to be invoked, said that “there’s a lot of people asking about” it, but that it was up to members of Biden’s Cabinet – Not a chance! 

SUPREME COURT UPDATES: Supreme Court Shifts Power Over Federal Regulations to Federal Judges –

 SUPREME COURT UPDATES:

Supreme Court Shifts Power Over Federal Regulations to Federal Judges – 

* Make it harder for Federal Prosecutors to go after January 6 rioters

* Denied Steve Bannon request for review of his 4 month prison sentence. 

By: Emmanuel Roy

Washington, DC – The conservative majority of the Supreme Court continues to overturn decades of established legal precedents, courtesy of Donald Trump’s appointment or three conservative judges. 

This week, the Supreme Court shifts power over federal regulations from agencies to judges, by overuling a judicial doctrine that has protected many federal regulations from legal challenges for over four decades — delivering a major victory to conservatives and business groups seeking to curb the power of the executive branch. 

The 6-3 decision divided the court along ideological lines. Known as Chevron deference, the old Reagan-era doctrine required judges to defer to agencies’ “reasonable” interpretations of “ambiguous” federal laws. Its fallout will make it harder for President Joe Biden or any future president to act on a vast array of policy areas, from wiping out student debt and expanding protections for pregnant workers to curbing climate pollution and regulating artificial intelligence.

The 6-3 majority also sided with criminal rioters of January 6.  In another opinion released today, the Supreme Court narrowed the scope of a federal law used to charge hundreds of people with obstructing Congress during the riot at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, jeopardizing many of those criminal cases. 

The 6-3 ruling — in which two justices crossed the court’s usual ideological lines — may force federal prosecutors to reconsider charges in dozens of pending cases, and it could require judges to resentence some defendants already sent to prison for interfering with Congress’ effort to certify Joe Biden’s victory in the last presidential contest. About 350 of the 1,400-plus charged Jan. 6 defendants have faced obstruction charges, which are now thrown into doubt by the court.

Also, Steve Bannon, the architect of Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign for president  is going to prison. The Supreme Court  rejected a last-ditch bid by the longtime Donald Trump ally to stave off a four-month prison sentence for defying subpoenas from the Jan. 6 select committee three years ago. The high court’s decision — a one-sentence denial without explanation — means the influential right-wing podcaster will head to prison on July 1, with his release date just days before the November 2024 election.
