I don't think it's exactly true that Congress has decided against funding. They put some funding in the budget bill, there's been a lot of talk about deferring the issue of the wall, and there hasn't been any vote against the wa...Tags: Supreme Court, Law, Congress, White House, George Bush, George W Bush, Separation of Powers, Trump, Charlie Savage, Persian Gulf, Executive Power, Brennan Center, Ann Althouse, Trump's wall, Elizabeth Goitein 43 people like this.

Yet by one key measure, far from a boom, the labor market hasn’t even returned to a normal state.

It would be the norm.
In our nation, though the names of the two strongest parties often changed up until the mid-19th century, no third-party candidate has ever won the presidential election. Not that such candidates have not had an influence on presidential polling.

That, however, is quite inaccurate. “The Congress” is not Speaker Nancy Pelosi, nor any single member of the House or Senate. Constitutionally, the Congress expresses its will only one way: by passing legislation. It has no authority to issue orders having the effect of law, as the president does with executive orders, or the Judicial Branch does by issuing injunctions...Tags: Supreme Court, Congress, Opinion, Senate, America, Sport, Soccer, United States, House, Homeland Security, Nancy Pelosi, Fdr, Pearl Harbor, George W Bush, Gavin Newsom, Trump 3 people like this.
