Five days ago US Republicans "stopped time" with respect to a clock running that required a response to an appeal against Trump's tariffs. ~ https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43358343 Each day for the remainder of the first session of the 119th Congress shall not constitute a calendar day for purposes of section 202 of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622) with respect to a joint resolution terminating a national emergency declared by the President on February 1, 2025.
~ https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-resolutio..."Each day [..] shall not constitute a calendar day" An executive with a cowered majority can get away with almost anything when they can issue emergency orders and set aside an appeal and review process intended to temper such orders. It's a triumph of creative lawyering over overt disobeying of judicial orders. |
