United States Biden administration policies and actions - megathread

Reader mode
Cycling back to the actual thread topic of the Biden administration, I'd like to comment on his "special commission" to study the SC, and specifically why assembling that commission is proof that Biden is not worthy of his office.

Assembling this commission is an act of utter cowardice and abdication of leadership at a time when the country needs it. The question about the supreme court is a purely political matter, something that every legal commentator on every side admits, with the only question being who's politics are right, and that is not a question any committee will answer, they will just feed back the arguments that already exist. That the SC has been far more politicized is something everyone knows, especially Biden because he was the chairmen of the judiciary committee during the Bork hearings when his side started this fight, and he was still around when his party, and specifically Chuck Schumer, escalated it repeatedly, by filibustering Bush's nominees and slow rolling their appointments, repeatedly and openly threatening two SC justices, and pushing for court packing (along with an Orwellian attempt to redefine the term).

Biden has no excuse for being ignorant about this issue's history and causes, and there is nothing the commission can tell him six months from now that's not obvious today, the only value it has is kicking the can down the road and letting him not make any hard choices or alienate his allies for a few more months, something Biden has often done. That sort of behavior is understand in a senator, but it's not acceptable in a a president. If you can't make hard choices and take risks, you don't deserve to to be president.

It's rather hard to prove things in a court when they absolutely refuse to hear the case and let things be entered into evidence.

The Supreme Court was especially bad, no standing before the inauguration and a moot case immediately after. I guess everyone needed to file their case in the middle of the confirmation or something like that.

What utter nonsense. You've not been murdered yet so no crime and now you're dead so it's moot. That's not how anything is supposed to work but here we are...

You realise some cases were heard? And others were dismissed for evidentiary reasons, rather than for lack of standing. You're also misrepresenting the situation with the supreme court, but I suspect that's a case of ignorance rather than malice. In other cases, team trump went out of their way to be very clear they weren't alleging fraud, precisely because they had no evidence of it.

FWIW, there wasn't one single case that was bought before the election that was rejected for not showing damage, that was bought again after only to be dismissed as moot. That's an entirely imaginary scenario you've come up with.

They basically destroyed the reputation of our legal system.

Sidney Powell is now asserting *as her formal legal position* that she never had any evidence, but that she can't be accused of slander because no one could possibly take any of her accusations as a factual claim.

She does realize that asserting she had no evidence is going to completely destroy her legal career, doesn't she? Not just because it makes her a liar, but also because it makes her out to be completely incompetent at her job, as a deaf, dumb, and blind infant could have put together enough evidence to disprove any accusation of slander against Dominion.

Biden isn't worthy of the office, but honestly? I'm not sure this country is deserving of anything better; especially if you think he won the election legitimately. As for those of us who don't, well; the fact that we allowed our government to get this corrupt speaks for itself.

Of course he's not. He's a puppet. A lumpy sock puppet with his masters, ranging from corporate oligarchs to Chinese politicians and power mad lefties all trying to ram as much crap through Congress to gain total power over this country and leech us of everything they can get. He's a puppet trying to play his usual politics of being beige to a bunch of power hungry tigers. They're starving to devour this country and the Democrats have hooked their future to it without fully appreciating how terrible things will get if they appease them.

Asserting that she was not making claims of fact in the first place is the easiest way to argue for the slander case being completely dismissed, which she apparently *really* wants over fighting it out over sufficiency of evidence.

She is either an incompetent buffoon afraid of finally being outed, or a coward who suddenly realize the full scope of she was trying to oppose; either way, the fact that someone like her managed to become as prominent as she did says a lot about how far our legal system has fallen.

Ah, the old H.L Macken definition, "Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard." Fair.

If he's a puppet of power mad lefties and other bad actors, he wouldn't be hiding his position behind a commission, he'd be pushing for court packing or impeaching one of Trump's judges or so other scheme.

As an alternative possibility: those moves are being saved for when he drops dead and Kamala comes in. Then comes the theater about Joe being a little too "centrist" for her taste.
