oblong Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 I'm confused about why #1 is about the SC? Is he proposing a specific bill to address that? I don't see that as SC reform though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see that as SC reform though. I think that's it in relation to the Supreme Court ruling. It would take away the ambiguity of whether or not the "crime" would be considered an "official act". Or at least that's my take. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Congress defines 'official act' in law, then it seems they effectively overrule the Court's discretion on the matter.

oblong Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 but I still don't get why Kyle classified it as SC reform. It's Executive Reform, as in, defining procedures and safeguards for the Executive Branch. It doesn't affect the SC other than address/clarify one of their rulings, but that's not what I would call Reform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct, but it's in the line of undoing, reversing, or if you like 'reforming' something the SCOTUS did, so I guess some media consultant decided it's close enough to bundle it together if it's all going in one press release.....

gehringer_2 Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 Just saw that Biden put his SCOTUS proposals into a guest OP-ED piece in the WaPo. Look for some Pitchbot worthy anti-Biden stuff in the NYT by tomorrow.....🤣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
