9 months agoWeird way to spell constitution. Get congress to do their job, and Biden wouldn’t have to violate the separation of powers to unilaterally try and do things he’s not permitted to do.
That’s exactly it. Everyone cheers it when it’s their guy, without realizing that a relatively weak executive branch is one of the best safeguards we have against tyranny. Expanding that power sounds great for now, but if Trump takes office again, do we want him having the power to spend on whatever he wants without congressional approval?
