Aren’t reconciliation bills supposed to have only budget related items? Can the Senate GOP ignore the parliamentarian entirely if the parliamentarian tries to eliminate some of this awful crap from the bill?

But is this even Constitutional? Can the Legislative branch control the Judicial branch? According the the law, the three branches are separate but equal. The Legislature has to follow the Constitution, which is ultimately decided by the Courts. If this passes, it is the end of the rule of law.

Where's our U.S. media in telling Americans about this dangerous hidden item in Republicans' scam bill? Not only are Republicans seeking to starve children & elderly, cut most Americans' health care & make the rich even richer, Republicans want to severely weaken our federal courts.

This is just ridiculous, dishonest, criminal to put this in a budget bill. The Republicans have turned into a crime mob family. This is not what America stands for!!!!!!! My God.

Thank you @justsecurity.org and Erwin Chemerinsky for drawing attention to this abomination in the budget bill. Everyone needs to call the Senate and demand this provision (and of course so many others) be cut. Don’t let the Trojan horse in! bsky.app/profile/onea...

TODAY’s ACTION ITEM: The Murder Budget Bill passed last night with a Trojan horse. It’s in the Senate now. Call your Senators & demand they axe the provision that limits the ability of courts—including SCOTUS—from enforcing their orders (stopping Trump’s unconstitutional actions). ☎️ @5calls.org

More Trump removing law and order, making so HE and the Maga thugs can commit crimes and get away EVEN MORE then they already have! NOT GOOD!

Why does the US still portray itself as a democracy when a provision like this could be added to a bill passed by Congress? It’s unconstitutional to remove the checks and balances-the current CR shouldn’t even be in place. We need voter recourse and reform against Congress.
