Biden Does NOT need a BILL to close the border
He only needs a PEN. Thats all he needed to open it.
Thats all he needed to close it. Thats all Trump needed.
Maybe this is just Proof Trump is better than Biden.

No it's NOT, at least NOT according to you Literal Interpreters.

A literal Interpretation of the Constitution is a DEAD Constitution.

A Living Constitution is Open to Interpretation, which you Repocons just HATE.

We have a dead Constitution in Texas, which is why we have amended it over 500+ times!

according to scalia and the other bozo teabaggers on the bench!!  talk about inventing stuff not even mentioned in the Constitution!!  just where does the Constitution mention corporations one time? if it never mentions corporations, and according to Scalia if something is not specifically mentioned in the Constitution, justices are not supposed to "assume" what the original "intent" of the framers is supposed to be, they are not supposed to make any judgment at all in a positive manner.  that is how he excused his vote against gay marriage being legal.  he said it was not specifically mentioned in the Constitution, and by golly, he is right!!  but it does give equal protection under the law to all citizens, and if one segment of the population receive 100's of automatic legal rights just by getting a marriage license and being married, THEN ALL CITIZENS SHOULD.  but that clear and logical interpretation can not be used for corporate rights to have human rights like scalia and some other clowns decided.  they are not citizens.  they are not human.  duh. how in the world can scalia supporters or defenders believe he was an originalist, when he jumped way over the top to reach for some excuse to make unlimited corporate financing of elections legal?  or that corporations had the constitutional right to make religious decisions concerning what benefits they could give some employees but not others?  how can a corporation have religious rights?  i mean, in reality world, not teabagger land.

It's not a living document.  It's essentially a dead letter, used only an excuse for more power rather than as a limit on power.

what do you mean we switched sides?  republicans have been the more racist party since the early 60's...here is proof positive:

no southern republican in the house voted for the civil rights act.  not one.  and the democrats held the south so firmly THERE WAS JUST ONE REPUBLICAN SENATOR FROM ANY CONFEDERATE STATES IN 1964 AND ONLY 10 SOUTHERN REPUBLICAN HOUSE MEMBERS......get it? here is the real deal-

By party and region

Note: "Southern", as used in this section, refers to members of Congress from the eleven states that made up the Confederate States of America in the American Civil War. "Northern" refers to members from the other 39 states, regardless of the geographic location of those states.

The original House version:

•Southern Democrats: 7–87   (7%–93%)
•Southern Republicans: 0–10   (0%–100%)

•Northern Democrats: 145-9   (94%–6%)
•Northern Republicans: 138-24   (85%–15%)

The Senate version:

•Southern Democrats: 1–20   (5%–95%)
•Southern Republicans: 0–1   (0%–100%)
 
•Northern Democrats: 45-1   (98%–2%)
•Northern Republicans: 27-5   (84%–16%)

No, that's just the time Democrats started  playing this childish game because Republicans of the time saw through the Democrat plan to keep Blacks on a voting Plantation with free food pellets, coupons for mac&cheese, rat infested housing, and welfare for women with children as long no daddy was in the home. And the more kids, the more welfare.
 
Voting against that is not Racism, its compassion and concern..
