The present stay is not related to funding, as you note. The delay is due to the Exec Action not having a 60 day comment period.

Funding is is lacking though. Hence _next time_ the bill is before the court, funding may indeed be the issue.

Since the courts have stopped it, why would 0bama, Reid, and Pelosi want to fund it anyway “and let the courts decide it later”? Curious eh?

They’re saying that b/c the fact that congress funds it would be sufficient for the courts to resolve that congress _does_ intend to allow this to be done by this president. “Why else would they fund it” is the layman’s pov.

So funding it does indeed “legalize” the amnesty.

Providing funding for a department does not approve actions not allowed by statute.

Nor is there any funding for bald headed cures in the bill. Wacky strawman.

There will be nothing in the proposed [dem] funding bill that "does not approve" of any actions. That's what this is about - the dems require nothing of the sort to be in the funding bill - they refuse to even take up the funding bill in the senate if such funding exclusion is in it ==> filibuster.

If the bill gets signed with no such funding exclusion as the dems want, it is indeed seen by the court as congressional approval of whatever the dept wants to do with it [EA amnesty.]

Hence funding with no exclusion is indeed seen by the court as congressional approval.

geez

Let’s hope that today McConnell surprises us and nukes the bill through with 51 votes so it lands on the president’s desk with just a few hours to go.

Then let him veto it. Then pass the same bill again. And again.

Do you think Reid would use the nuclear option? lol
