Senate Democrats scored one of their biggest victories in the reconciliation by the parliamentary rule of the Senate that the provision would have in the tax reduction legislation Trump allowed to remove judicial orders must be thrown away.
Schumer said in a statement:
Senate -Republicans tried to write Donald Trump’s contempt for the courts in the law – making judicial enforcement, the deficiency of the Constitution and the bulls of the rule of law that forms our democracy. It was nothing less than an attack on the system of checks and balances that this nation has anchored since its foundation, and a brutal attempt Kroon Trump King.
But Senate Democrats stopped them cold. We have fought successfully for the rule of law and through these reckless and downright on-American determination through.
If established, this would have been one of the most brutal power hits that we have seen in American history – an attempt to have a future President Trump ignorlessly ignored and to bring him above the law.
Donald Trump is not above the law. And thanks to the senate democrats – including the tireless work of Senator Durbin and the judicial power democrats – the courts can still hold him and every president responsible.
Senator Schumer also pointed out that the senate version of the provision was even worse than what the house took, because it requires someone who sought an order against the Trump administration to pay an expensive prior reimbursement, making the courts a pay-to-play system.
The provision Was doomed from the start because it had nothing to do with the budget, and that is why the senate version added the compensation to make it look like a budget item.
This was an important victory for justice and democracy. Republicans tried to use a Tax Act to give Trump the opportunity to ignore the courts.
The lesson here is that Trump is the figurehead, but the entire Republican party has become an anti-constitution and anti-democracy party.
Democrats and the American people must always remain vigilant until the Republicans are defeated.
What do you think of Democrats who ignore the determination of the courts? Let’s talk about it in the comments below.
