Lifson notes:
Democrats will attempt the usual lawfare approach to tie up this presidential initiative in court. I hope a brilliant suggestion I saw yesterday, but cannot remember the source of, is followed. Let a friendly governor of a state in the Fifth Circuit (perhaps Texas) mount a quick lawsuit so the most conservative appeals court in the nation will affirm the president’s right to spend the money.
Am I the only person who remembers that President Obama came up with $1.7 billion to send to the mullahs of Iran as part of his JCPOA without a congressional appropriation? Presidents have amazing executive discretion to spend money without specific authorization from Congress. I don’t recall Chuck and Nancy complaining about that spending without an appropriation.
No One has seen what else the rats have put in the deal. Supposedly 1,000
pages long. YOU know they put other garbage in the deal.
