The leading opposition Pheu Thai party, made up of loyalists to army-ousted Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, sees the delays and legal actions as an attempt to deny the "democratic front" enough seats in the House needed to block the main junta-linked party from unrestrained lawmaking power.

In a 5-to-4 vote, the court's conservatives said that the president's power to secure the country's borders, delegated by Congress over decades of immigration lawmaking, was not undermined by Mr. Trump's history of incendiary statements about the dangers he said Muslims pose to the United States.

Yet the hue and cry over ethics reform has also uncovered a little-known, little-heeded point of view: that of the businessman-legislator, who sees no conflict between activities like undertaking and lawmaking, and whose contempt for Albany makes a full-time Legislature seem not only ludicrous, but also outrageous.

Agencies that support congressional research and draft legislation have shed hundreds of positions over recent decades, weakening institutional capacity to draft thoroughly informed legislative proposals on complex issues, leaving an increasing number of policy decisions required for implementation to the Executive Branch, and ceding further lawmaking authority to the Executive Branch.

The brick, the bottle, the fist, the fire: Fierce resistance by the oppressed makes for a better story than the drudgery and temporizing of lawmaking and coalition building, and it may seem morally purer than being assisted by people whose work is propelled by their own sense of justice or compassion.

CS: If you think of them as a parallel legislature with something like lawmaking capacity, or at least as quasi-public, quasi-private nudgers with respect to the arc of the political universe, that from the standpoint of democracy isn't ideal, because they aren't elected and they're not accountable to anyone.

In response, on Twitter, some Sanders supporters said this was wrong: That Sanders—with a long career in lawmaking—could win Republican support; that Sanders would use the bully pulpit to rally voters; and that a Sanders win would necessarily bring the kind of wave that would give him votes for his policies.

By focusing on the idea that an improperly covered female body is "distracting," and by showing that he doesn't trust women to judge their appearance for themselves, Holmes sounds more like he's creating a high school or middle school dress code than the professional code of conduct for a state lawmaking body.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), the agency created by then-Harvard law professor Warren in the Obama years, effectively to enact liberal policies without new legislation or executive branch oversight, has issued a new rule that is the essence of lawmaking by regulation, something the Founding Fathers attempted to prevent through the Constitution's design.

" It's bad enough that Congress has ceded its lawmaking authority to unelected bureaucrats throughout the administrative state, but it is absolutely shocking when a law professor pushes the judicial branch to wittingly cede its constitutional duty to decide "all cases, in law and equity, arising under this Constitution, the laws of the United States.

Seeing how the markets and politicians have dealt with the eurozone sovereign-debt crisis, the worst refugee problem since World War II, and constant squabbles over EU lawmaking that wrecks national sovereignty, I have become fully unstuck from the mud of the pro-EU camp and will sit on the fence until we vote.

Money grubbing is so relentless for both parties that a Democratic directive for arriving freshmen members that surfaced in The Huffington Post two years ago candidly advised them to devote four hours of each working day to "call time" if they entertained hopes for re-election — as opposed to three to four hours for the actual job of lawmaking.

"The Court would have us believe that over 200 years ago, the Framers made a choice to limit the tools available to elected officials wishing to regulate civilian uses of weapons, and to authorize this Court to use the common-law process of case-by-case judicial lawmaking to define the contours of acceptable gun control policy," he wrote.

Judge Mehta repeatedly emphasized Supreme Court case law that suggests that Congress has the authority to perform oversight investigations for the purpose of informing itself and the public about issues of public importance, separate from its lawmaking function — an argument that Mr. Letter said the House agreed with but did not need to rely upon to win the case.

Over the past year or so, it maneuvered to expel pro-democracy legislators from Hong Kong's lawmaking body, sidelined a popular candidate for the city's top post to give the job to a proven hard-liner and got local high schools to beam to their students an ideologue's speech about the Chinese Communist Party's latest national congress.

Discord within the party has become even clearer as lawmaking has moved to the Senate, where Republicans range from ardent conservatives — who, like their party mates in the House, loathe government involvement in health care and embrace free trade — to those from blue or moderate states where the health care law is popular and trade is viewed as a proxy for job loss.

The U.K. will still be an important partner to the US and the Nordics, but the U.S. should take advantage of its good partners in the north of Europe for influence in the EU.

As the Senate wraps up its business before a two-week recess beginning on Thursday after a mixed period of modest lawmaking and partisan scraps, lawmakers are expected to agree on one thing: a website known for its connections to the sex-trafficking business should be held in contempt of Congress, the first time the Senate has taken such an action in over two decades.

The coming exit from the European Union has already turned Britain inward, with the government and the country's powerful tabloid news media fixated on the particulars of its withdrawal: the uncertainties of whether the country will maintain access to the bloc's single market; demands that the country take control of its borders to stunt immigration; and an insistence on "reclaiming sovereignty" by returning lawmaking powers to London.

Some issues that particularly concerned me were topics such as gun control (in favor of 2nd Amendment rights), abortions (pro-choice), and illegal immigration (firmly against) … Although my party did win the Senate, we did not win the House of Representatives, which was expected … I believe that a divided legislative branch can lead to many obstacles in the lawmaking process, but can yield great results when the two parties work together.

This majority has triumphed in securing retrograde positions that include making no exceptions for rape or women's health in cases of abortion; requiring the Bible to be taught in public high schools; selling coal as a "clean" energy source; demanding a return of federal lands to the states; insisting that legislators use religion as a guide in lawmaking; appointing "family values" judges; barring female soldiers from combat; and rejecting the need for stronger gun controls — despite the mass shootings afflicting the nation every week.

" The impact of the Commission's decision really depends on its acceptance by other European lawmaking entities as well as that of the U.S. Already France and the U.K. have expressed their opposition, having significant trade ties and weapons exports to the kingdom, and may attempt to reach a middle ground with the EC.
