North Carolina Governor Signs Law Limiting Successor’s Power

He has signed the first bill but no decision yet on the second to also limit the incoming Governors powers. Wonder about the legalities on these two bills.

Think things will finally get bad enough for the Democrats to grow a pair?

I doubt it.

Dude, that assault has been going on since about 1970.
Way longer than that. McCarthy and the various Red Scares of the 20s, 30s, 40s and 50s were the right trying to scaremonger the sheep into compliance.

The difference now is that they finally found a useful idiot to play the part of El Presidente, appointing alt-right fanatic operatives to the Department of Education and so-on.

I see he's picked up the selective memory of the typical Trump-drone as well.

OK. I did some research on my own and you were correct. There was widespread support on this forum for a recess appointment.

My bad.

What did happen however is that after Obummer wussed out on that I took him to task and several members came out in support of him with statements like "he may be playing the long game", "It was very spock-like of Obama", and "Obama is playing chess and the Republicans are playing checkers", etc.

Here's a couple of examples.

See the above post.

I always admit when I make a mistake.

Unlike the Hillarybots that are still claiming that nominating an out of touch corporate whore warmonger with zero charisma was the right thing to do.

Yeah, but the left was making progress right up until Nixon got elected. then the tide changed and the country has been moving rightward ever since. Slow at first, but gaining in momentum all along.
