He doesn't need it locked, he just needs them to not vote for Trump.

Trump doesn't have the independent/centrist vote necessary to get elected at this point. Biden might try to crack down, but more likely he will vanish into the woodwork and have Harris do everything. Which won't really ammount to much because she's just generally incompetent. And which will...

No it doesn't... The source indicates the exact opposite...

That's full up wrong. https://www.justice.gov/pardon/pardon-information-and-instructions

No, I mean Biden literally does not possess that power. Outside of a single tiny exception Federal Convictions can't be expunged.

What he conveniently leaves out there, is that he doesn't actually possess the ability to expunge their records. Meaning that this action won't actually do what he's trying to claim.

Having read the text of the Higher Education act the executive order is trying to rest on. I give it a 30-40% chance of surviving legal challenge.

That video is super wrong. "Conspiracy" has a rather firm legal definition, and it's one that requires "intent". Nope, because the actual law doesn't say anything of the sort.

Kind of feel bad for whoever it is. I mean... Can you imagine getting one of the most important jobs in the country and knowing you got it not because of your skills but because of your skin color and gender?

If anyone other then Trump runs? Really good. If Trump runs? Really bad.

Going to be fun to see him try and get that through Congress in what will soon be an election year.

There are roughly 262,000 female truckers... That's more then enough to utilize statistical sampling to make an accurate comparison... If it's unnecessary and won't work, then this program will show it's unnecessary and won't work. At which point Republican lawmakers can hold it up and say...

You might wanna read up on the program in question. This one in specific requires they pay volunteer's, and only has funding through 2026. So again, they would need an entirely new bill to turn it into an actual tax.

Whether it stops or not is immaterial, the bill literally only includes funding for the pilot program. Which means they would have to pass a new bill if they wanted to make it an actual tax. And yes, but Women truck drivers have a 20% lower accident rate then men... So there's an actual good...

You don't even know what those provisions actually are... You're just making incorrect assumptions based on the names... Highway Use Tax Evasion Projects is literally just updating the date in a legal code from 2016-2020 to 2022-2026... Vulnerable road user research is just a general road...

Oh, sorry. It just passed the house so is going to Biden for it to be signed into law.

That's the text of the bill that just passed... The one that didn't, isn't really relevant to this conversation outside of the mention that it's horrible and probably going to be caught up in democratic infighting till the 2022 elections.

You've been reading the wrong bill, this is the good one. A couple highlights include Highway Repair, Buy America Sourcing Requirements, and Make It in America.

No, it was the good infrastructure bill. A bunch of internet idiots just think it was the bad one because democrat fake news is trying to play this off as a win. In reality however it's passing is a tactical win for the Republicans because the far left Democrats wanted to bind it to the piece...

Actually in this case it's the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993 that re-instituted the compelling-interest test after it was removed in 1990 via Employment Division v. Smith. Which is important because "Public Health" is de-facto "compelling interest".
