Congress needs to pass a law requiring that any national emergency needs to be confirmed by a super majority of both the house and Senate within 15 calendar days of declaration. Or from 15 days of the passage of this law, whichever is later. An ongoing national emergency must be renewed by Congress before the sixth month of its declaration, but no earlier than it's fifth month. Then on a yearly basis starting from the anniversary of its declaration.

Failing that, all emergency powers the president wields are revoked.

In a true emergency, the assemblage of Congress is not an onerous task. Nor is the vote.

It would take enough Republicans to overrule the presidential veto. But if done would get rid of this regimes use of the magic word "emergency."

I think there may be some mechanisms. They can deputize citizens to carry out their rulings. It would be bloody though.

I'd also like to see them freeze any finances the administration has access to. Or individuals in the administration.

Residential IPs are generally gray listed. Same with any cloud provider IP pools. You can get a mail relay for sending email if you want an easy way. Or find a local colo who has their own IP block where you can host a small server. It might take a little time to warm up and build that reputation, but not impossible.

I was looking at states guard and wondering if blue states should be bolstering up their organized armed militias. State guard, as opposed to national guard, cannot be called upon by the federal government and are solely under the direction of the state governors.

One big downside, is many of the state guardsman are members of the national guard as well, as being in the state guard does not preclude you from the national military. There seems to be a lot of training from the national guard to the state guard.

Great film. I hate to call it old. Even though I realize it is now.

I remember when hearing from the president was special and they would prepare a statement or speech. It made news because it was important and rare.

Now it's a multiple times a day occurrence of verbal diarrhea.

I'm the opposite with TV. Most seasons are too long and just get filled with pointless interpersonal drama that feels far too contrived. I think mini series length is usually better.

I also personally feel that as series go on past the first, maybe second season, the story has been told and now they are just having to fill it with slop because the studios want anything making money to continue indefinitely even if there isn't a good story needing to be told anymore.

If they don't go to him, then he goes to them.

Based.

Fucking useless word.

It's so blatant they are defying the court. They made no attempts to prepare knowing that this ruling was a possibility.

You'd think someone would have started something before the order actually came.

Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.
