I feel like Biden should just say fuck it, and try to pass as much as he can like there’s no tommorrow. Because for him, there pretty much isn’t.
The problem is that the things he can do without congressional support can be easily overturned by the next President — and the Republicans have a majority in the House of Representatives.
Better to try and give a possible future Democratic majority an easy shoe-in precedent for writing the law, or give a future Republican majority extra busywork and lawsuits and court time to do, than to never do anything at all.
For sure. I just don’t expect it to be durable unless we elect Harris.
Agreed, except remember this - he’s not really a lame duck, he’s on the same team as Harris so what he does now can splash on her.
So, still yes, except use caution if there’s a risk it might hurt Harris’s campaign.
