🤣 what? Now he thinks he can dictate the internal procedures of a house of congress? Congratulations dictator boy, you've finally found an issue on which even this supine and corrupted Supreme Court is going to rule 9-0 against you. Not even Alito is bent enough to swallow this one.

Good luck with that! Article 1, Section 5 "Each House may determine the Rules of its Proceedings,"

Dictators are ALWAYS stupid. It’s their *enablers* who aren’t complete fools.

Before my lord and savior Bruce Willis, the rarest thing on Earth is a truly shrewd dictator who is actually *smart* and *evil*, it's quite often some fuck up who's angry but who couldn't pour water out a boot with instructions on heel propped up by *slightly* smarter people with a harder grudge.

Like a whole coalition of upper-middle-class losers and assholes who decided to make their whole personality about the one time someone definitely told them "no." That's how shit goes in westernized societies, so often it would be funny if it didn't come with a body count.

Beg your pardon, "definitively" not "definitely," I was thumb ranting.

Problem is, the Legislature is the branch that actually has the authority to remove judges, the Executive doesn't. The Constitution is crystal clear "Each House may determine the Rules of its Proceedings,"

Makes sense that Trump wouldn’t have a clue about a “gentleman’s” agreement. Except maybe when it came to pedophilia.

You know, at this point, I wouldn’t rule anything out. I’m no lawyer, but I can read, and the Constitution says that all persons - not citizens, persons - are entitled to due process. And yet! And they’re going to rule on birthright citizenship, which is right there in the Constitution as well.
