WTF has Senator Amy Klobuchar been smoking?

[AverageOldGuy]

She is on Lawrence's show talking about the process by which the Senate confirms Presidential appointees. She said . . . no shit . . . she said "We do not live under a tyrant . . . "

WE DO NOW!!!

[spooky3]

1. I like it that's she's defiant. Nt

[Irish_Dem]

2. It takes awhile for realty to sink in for most people.

[spooky3]

8. I think she's closer to the reality than most of us are

And she’s making a polite “f*ck you” statement to TFG.

[elleng]

11. Thanks

[Irish_Dem]

12. US senators live a rarified life of prestige, privilege and security.

They may or may not be more in touch with reality than we are.

[spooky3]

13. Did you see her interview? Nt

[Irish_Dem]

14. I am responding to this OP.

And the comments made in the OP
Which is how a forum works.

[spooky3]

17. So you did not see it. You might want to watch the replay

and judge in the context of the interview.

[Quiet Em]

3. Amy Klobuchar is smart.

I'm at ease knowing she's serving in the Senate.

[elleng]

10. Ditto

[Raine]

25. Yes, me too. I really like her. nt

[yaesu]

4. We need to let our Dem leaders do what they can do before we become a never ending loop of nazi germany

lets hope for at least a strongly worded letter.

5. Trump orders the new senate to recess for 10 days and he can make 'acting' appointments for 2 years.

Apparently this includes Judges as well as all cabinet members.

It is a total end run around the the way thing are 'supposed' to work, but what norms apply to Heir Trump.

16. Hope Sen. Schumer doesn't let him get away with it. Must filibuster.

[magicarpet]

19. Oh,..

... are the Nazis going to allow the fillibuster to remain intact ?

That is going bye bye too,... right ?

[brush]

21. We'll have to see. Schumer is still in charge of the Senate until Jan. 3rd.

24. I think Jan 3rd for House and Senate

[brush]

28. Thanks for the correx.

So the Senate Dems can still stop trump recess moves until Jan. 3 with a filibuster?

[Silent Type]

6. Sounds like she made a hopeful statement, while knocking on wood.

[jalan48]

7. She's in denial.

[elleng]

9. She's smart, capable, and not smoking anything.;

it's a mistake to suggest anything else.

[magicarpet]

15. The role of the Senate,...

The US CONSTITUTION says,

Executive Office appointments,

Role of The US Senate,

○ADVISE.

○CONSENT/
○REJECT
_______________________________

Djt does not like the proceedure for confirmation of his administration's cabinet as outlined in the US Constitution as above.

So what does djt intend to do ? Make a run around the US Constitution. Game the system and void that Advise & Consent section of Constitutional Law.

If djt does not agree or appreciate any section of the US Constitution he just ignores it, conjures up a work around, and disregards Constitutional Law.

Being a dictator must nearly be as good as being a monarch,... correct dipshit donnie ?

20. I know he thinks/wants to be King, but he can't order them to take a 10 day recess

[Yavin4]

22. Someone show Senator Klobuchar this clip

[carpetbagger]

23. Her job is to say that.

If she believes it, she's naive but it's the right answer.
If she doesn't believe it, it's still the right answer, because as a senator she's the person who needs to continue to assert that right, even if it's not actualized. She is also making the claim that subterfuge of that process is tyranny.

[niyad]

26. Not until 20 Jan 2025 at 12:01 pm.

[Crunchy Frog]

27. Lots of people still believe that "it can't happen here".
