And very much just the current president, given that the same solicitude was not extended to Biden’s requests for interim relief

There also seems to be a big difference between a stay that effectively overturns SC precedent without explanation versus one that pauses an outlier decision

It’s an even dumber argument in this case because the vast majority of the tax cuts are just extensions of the prior cuts that were due to expire. Whatever marginal (if any) boost to growth is already baked in and hasn’t left to the magical revenues they claim

Because Biden won the 2020 election, I think a lot of people forget that he wasn’t president until January 2021

LA proper though is collection of wildly different neighborhoods, with independent cities mixed in. Bel Air is part of the city of LA, along with lots of other swanky areas!

Miller is a POS, but I don’t think him saying he’s from LA when he’s actually from SM is that notable. The LA-area is a hodgepodge of neighborhoods. Some are technically LA (like Venice) while others (like next door Santa Monica) are their own cities, but it’s common to refer to all as parts of LA

That’s not a fair comparison. Jake only attacks democrats so he is clearly objective. It’s only critical comments about republicans that show bias that deserve repudiation.

At the same time the Court also blocked discovery about DOGE designed to determine whether they are subject to FOIA—so DOGE can access the most personal information about all of us but the records of how they are operating remain hidden. Privacy for the government but not the people.

You don’t even need to admit that they are taxes! The constitution explicitly lists the laying and collecting of “duties and imposts” (i.e.tariffs) as one of congress’s enumerated powers

Exactly—-the only “history and traditions” are the cherry-picked ones that support their preferred policy outcomes, just like the major questions doctrine or invented presidential immunity.

I always assume the worst with the GOP, but wouldn’t doing so be a much more explicit and harder to defend nuking of the filibuster than their (still indefensible) action on the CRA?

Is that true for the entirety of the current bill or will it have to be amended to pass reconciliation rules? Certain of the provisions—such as gutting courts’ ability to enforce contempt orders—seem to not be primarily budget related and therefore not exempt from filibuster under reconciliation
