Also: GOP waffling on Ukraine
Q. The court also rejected President Biden’s $400 billion plan to forgive students loans, saying he would need Congressional approval first. Is that a sensible restraint on presidential power? Why didn’t Biden seek Congressional approval when Democrats had control of Congress?Yes, it is a sensible restraint on executive power. The power of the budget rests with the legislature, not the president. If he wants to forgive college loans, he must convince Congress.
Q. One more on the Supreme Court: It ruled that a web designer with religious objections to gay marriage could refuse to serve gay customers based on the First Amendment’s protections of free speech. What if my religion tells me to deny service based on race? Would that be protected, too, under the logic of this ruling?I disagree with this ruling.
Q. The case against Sean Caddle, the Democratic operative who admitted hiring a hit man to kill a friend and former employee, ended with a fizzle when most people expected a bang. He was sentenced to 24 years in prison but did not provide testimony against any major player in New Jersey politics, as many expected after he was allowed to remain in home confinement during the investigation. I don’t get it.
Q. In Ukraine, the counter-offensive is off to a slow and frustrating start, raising fears that political support among Republicans in Congress could erode further. Is this Ukraine’s last chance? Might Vladimir Putin be right to gamble that Russia can outlast the international coalition supporting Ukraine?Russia’s only shot in US politics is Donald Trump, and maybe Ron DeSantis since he seems to not have any direction of his own, just mimicking Trump and Tucker Carlson, his policy shepherds.
Q. Finally, the budget mess: The Legislature approved a $54 billion state budget that was slapped together behind closed doors at the last minute, with many members saying they didn’t have a chance to read it before voting. Peter Chen at New Jersey Policy Perspective suggests that we set a new deadline for the Legislature to present its budget by mid-June, so we all have time to scrutinize it.
