[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They backtracked on USAID and admitted they have to go through Congress. I think you’re right about where they’ll target, but I don’t see them pulling the same stunt. They’ve already said they’ll have to present a legislative proposal for abolishing ED and can’t just do it by fiat.[/quote]
Aren’t the GOP eunuchs just going to rubberstamp everything?[/quote]
I think they need 60 votes in the Senate to approve an agency reorganization, but don’t quote me on that. Even if they can approve it with a simple majority, not all Republicans will be on board with dismantling the agencies their committees spend all day overseeing.[/quote]

Wonder how many moderate democrats will go along? I say more than 10 less than 15. [/quote]

This is correct - they won't get 60 votes for anything, precisely zero dems will support and more than a handful of republicans will oppose.  It will also be thoroughly associated with Musk who is not a popular figure, even among many republicans.

The question is what if the Admin just claims inherent authority? Will anyone stop them?

Also -- remember that Trump is willing to claim victory if he thinks it's getting too hot. [/quote]
