Someone wrote that repeatedly presidents have broken their teeth, or such, by trying to bite down on health care reform the first thing in their term. Clinton did, Obama did, and now Trump is diving into that big cavity first. We're 70 days into his term and he and Paul Ryan have just given up for now on replacing Obamacare, for now. Due to divisions in the Republican Party. I kept thinking during the campaign that the Republicans didn't sound so much like they all belonged to the same party any more.
There are grand concerns about President Trump violating the Emoluments Clause, and there are one or more suits against him about this already. Not getting lots of attention yet.
Gen Serv Admin is leasing something to Trump Co, and law says the lessee can't be an employee of the fed gov. Yet GSA found a way around this the other day.
For the open seat on the Supreme Court, Pres T has nominated Neil Gorsuch. Two thoughts: he's qualified. Then the Dems find him pretty inhumane in many rulings. They think he's gonna help the rich get richer, and they already have lots of help with that project. Call me party-jaundiced, but in general the Right doesn't seem to have a history of being too worried about how the law affects people with, say, incomes under $75,000.
