An excellent summary of where we are now in an approaching stand-off between Exe. branch and Congress. " In nominating these candidates, Trump is also attempting to show early dominance over congressional Republicans and potentially the Supreme Court." Precisely -- this is how authoritarians work: test the waters first, if mild, push a little further. If signs of capituation, insist on party/cult loyalty, threaten, and continue to push. So this is the 'little secret' that Trump publically remarked upon between himself and Mike Johnson...
I hope people will thank Senators McConnell, Murkowski, Collins, and Curtis, for blocking the Gaetz appointment. Let's urge those Senators to keep up the good work!
