  • You are absolutely correct that it is a First amendment, federal law, being violated and that the executive branch has a role enforcing it.

    As I said however, we are a land of precedent and it’s up to the judicial interpretations of the First amendment. Historically, this is how these matters have always been handled…

    As far as what could Biden do… well I’m not sure if it would make much difference.

    1. Set guidelines with the Dept of Education. Doubtful that this would have any impact. There’s probably already something there regarding this
    2. Funding. They could do what the executive branch did with alcohol laws and withhold funding from things like roads until compliance is met. I would say you could withhold money from schools but obviously that’s not really fair to the kids and the republicans probably want that anyway
    3. They could bring lawsuits through the DoJ. Likely the best course of action but there’s already lawsuits filed that are gonna end up being kicked up to the SC I bet

    Probably some other things that I’m not thinking of right now since I’m drinking beer but you get the idea






  • Then what’s to stop the next incumbent from doing that until we have 1,000 justices? The US is a nation that loves to establish precedent so I can see why no one wants to mess with the issue.

    There does need to be reform but that has to come from Congress. They have been a bit busy sharing pictures of hunter bidens penis lately to give a shit about things that matter to their constituents.
