Neguse: There’s a ridiculous contempt provision that would essentially try to stop federal courts—or limit their ability—from enforcing contempt orders. Why? Because they know the Trump administration is losing in every federal court in the land…

WTAF!?! GOP are trying to *castrate the power* of our judiciary! Such a provision would make the judiciary pointless & powerless, if there are no consequences for breaking the law! Sound the ALARMS @Democrats.org & ALL independent media! #NoKings #ChecksAndBalances

It's not just that they know they're losing. They know they are in criminal contempt.

Calling it "ridiculous" is irresponsible. It's an extraordinarily dangerous provision of the bill that would allow nearly complete lawlessness by this administration.

This is the part of the bill that worries me most from a legal point of view - they've buried this provision in a huge bill so they can never be found legally responsible for all the disasters contained in it.

The regime was already ignoring the courts. Now they want court immunity in writing which the U.S. senate will soon pass.

This should be invalidated as being unconstitutional. I'm not sure it is but, if not, it should be!

GOP governs as if they will never be out of power. They use the power when they have it. Democrats govern as if they will be out of power and refuse to use the power when they have it.

And the debt limit increase. And giving rump the power to declare non-profit groups as “terrorists." And surely many more of this ilk with most having nothing to do with budget, so Senate Parliamentarian should not allow.

The techbros want badly to replace currency with crypto and employees with Ai and robots. It would cripple their plans if they had to obey responsible use laws. Ai stinks of fast money, tho, so we're going to have to wait for a big EMP event to save us from ourselves. 🤷

Provisions in a bill that is privileged to avoid the filibuster under reconciliation must be budget related in some way affecting spending, taxes, or revenue. Exempting AI from state regulation and restrictions on court injunctions & restraining orders probably are allowable under reconciliation.

The most dangerous aspect of this bill is the trump trying to tie the hands of the courts. It may mean that only a civil war will bring us back from this dictator-in-waiting. No more voting, no free press, and nothing but poverty for all of us. Just like Russia, China, N Korea, etc.
