$1.7 trillion is just a little more than our deficit payments

I'm not quite sure what to make of this since I'm not sure any of the funds can be remunerated, or legalities addressed. It DOES make a lot of sense.

Quote:

Congress lacked the constitutionally required quorum to pass the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023, a federal court ruled Tuesday. Accordingly, the Biden administration cannot enforce the new mandates imposed on Texas by the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, which was part of the omnibus spending bill. However, Tuesday's ruling left untouched the $1.7 trillion in appropriations, and with most of the money already spent, there is no real remedy for the Democrat-controlled Congress and White House's blatant disregard for the Constitution.
Last month, federal Judge James Hendrix held a bench trial in State of Texas v. Dept. of Justice, a lawsuit brought by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton against the Biden administration. In that lawsuit, Paxton challenged the constitutionality of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023 based on the "quorum clause" of the U.S. Constitution, which is found in Article I and says:

Contrary to most conservatives and MAGA folks, I'm pretty sure we're going to have a variety of subpoenas and indictments in the next 9 months, which will be perfect timing for the November elections.

There are so many different investigations going on I'm pretty sure there will be 40-50 folks, at a minimum, lawyering up.

However, unlike the Letitia James f-up, I'm hoping these will stick. It should be a hell of a year.

This news, IF the administration can effectively use the media, should be quite good.
Hate is how progressives sustain themselves. Without hate, introspection begins to slip into the progressive's consciousness, threatening the progressive with the truth: that their ideas and opinions are illogical, hypocritical, dangerous, and asinine.
This is backed by data.

Naaah!

I'm 100% certain there's gonna be a wave of indictments.

Now, whether or not those investigations, and the indictments from the grand juries, along with our DOJ, will be satisfactory to convict is another story. Should it be enough? Absolutely.

However, the Letitia James screw-up was a really, really, bad start, even if our prosecutor was legally chosen. I really don't care how long the DOJ/FBI takes as long as they bring the goods to trial.

I believe the evidence is available, but so far, I have zero faith in our justice department to do it properly, even with the crooked judges in the DC circuit.
