Bottom Line, if Trump wanted to immediately shutdown and eliminate the federal government, he wouldn’t have whipped votes to pass the CR in the US House!! He could have allowed the federal government to simply shutdown and then picked which agencies to open back up!! Brian Schatz is spinning a fairy tale!! Trump needs legal protection to continue to do what he’s doing now, and the idiots in the Senate Democratic Caucus simply wanted to go recess to do their fundraising, media blitz, vacations, and book tours!!

That makes no sense. A president cannot unilaterally shut down the government, including the federal courts. lapucelle Mar 2025 #6

Look, lapucelle! I recced that poster again. Isn't that innnnnteresting? Scrivener7 Mar 2025 #8

Yes. Trump worked uncharacteristically hard to get the CR passed. Scrivener7 Mar 2025 #7

I have one thing to say to Schatz gab13by13 Mar 2025 #4

I think he spells out good reasons for voting to break the filibuster and avoid a shutdown. LymphocyteLover Mar 2025 #5

I listen to Schatz and to Cortez-Masto, and they both said basically the same thing. lees1975 Mar 2025 #9
