Reading the article, it says Cuomo’s office stated the ban did not apply to the school, however, the school says they are standing with Cuomo on the issue anyway. The school is just as guilty of absurdity as Cuomo.
If it can be passed via reconciliation, it can most definitely be repealed via reconciliation. USSC ruling it a tax just makes using that process legitimate unlike how the democrats used it.
When Alito assumes his seat on the Supreme Court in January (assuming he is approved, which he will be), on cases that came before the court prior to his arrival (from the beginning of the term until mid-January), will O'Connor be able to vote on them, or is it voted on w/out her having a vote, but neither will Alito have a vote, or will Alito have a vote? I would assume that once O'Connor is gone, she no longer has a vote, and any case during the interim period would be voted on by 8 justices, rather than 9. What's the straight poop on this? Anyone know?
For example, I think the PBA case comes up at the end of this month. I believe that if Alito is confirmed before the decision is handed down and it's a 4/4 tie, excluding O'Connor's vote due to her leaving the court, then the SC can rehear the case with the newly confirmed justice. However, I believe that the rehearing is optional. Someone can correct me if I am wrong.
