Yeah, but they'll get a stay until such time as it ends up before SCOTUS, who will rubber-stamp it. This is getting tiresome.

""Trump says the US has seized an oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela""
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world...d=BingNewsSerp
""“We’ve just seized a tanker on the coast of Venezuela, a large tanker, very large, largest one ever seized, actually,” Trump told reporters at the White House, later adding that "it was seized for a very good reason.”
Trump said “other things are happening,” but did not offer additional details, saying he would speak more about it later. When asked what would happen to the oil aboard the tanker, Trump said, “Well, we keep it, I guess.”
The seizure was led by the U.S. Coast Guard and supported by the Navy, according to a U.S. official who was not authorized to comment publicly and spoke on the condition of anonymity. The official added that the seizure was conducted under U.S. law enforcement authority.""

I cannot for the life of me see how Trump voters think these people have the interests of the common people in mind when deciding policy.

Billionaires in power need no lobbyists. It is a more transparent picture of government.

Billionaires also need lobbyists since they are the ones who supply draft language for the bills. Most of those in Congress voting along party lines probably do not even know what is in the bills they are voting for.
